So, in a sense, DCI has already been dinged. Yep, I’ve brought up before guy I knew whose store was caught in a sweep by the state. 8 owners charged but state only really interested in 2 main culprits. Those 2 kept appealing before trial and all 8 had to show up for every hearing with their lawyers (ka ching). Finally the 6 copped a plea bargain of probation so they wouldn’t go broke. Not having a chance to clear your name sucked but losing the house would have sucked more Edited March 12 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that DCI has been added to the suit this late in the process makes me suspicious that they may be just fishing for some type of settlement. Yes, nearly all plaintiffs file civil suits to get money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheherazadesghost Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 For one, it costs $$ to see medical professionals to get the help needed to recover from being a victim in awful situations like this. 😞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The operative word in their post being “settlement.” (Versus, say, “judgement.”) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjthekid Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Exactly. Unless the plaintiff has some heavy evidence proving that DCI was aware of the events and took no action, DCI would be dismissed from the case. If that were the case, and it seems like it might be seeing as we now have that dismissal notice for garfield, it’s more probable that they are hoping DCI will settle out of court and before the trial. Nobody is questioning anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheherazadesghost Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I didn't think to keep evidence when I was being abused. Most survivors not only don't, but can't. My injured-and-untreated thumb, though, which holds back my capacity to work and earn a living, will always be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjthekid Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 New Development to this trial. DCI Has filed their "Answer to Complaint", wherein they deny all claims made by the plaintiff relating to DCI. And Interestingly, and I don't know if I have read this same phrase in any of the other documents I've read, they seem to be claiming that the case itself holds no ground because retroactively extending statute of limitations is in violation to the constitution of both the USA, and New Jersey. Hopefully this image helps y'all understand more about the case a little. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
