Girl has already hired a civil attorney. It's all about the money!

[NOLEtdown]

IF it's true that Dalvin and another player are suing her, maybe he is her defense attorney.

"Girl has already hired a civil attorney"

Is there any actual proof of this?

 

[miawisenole]

Look,at SingleShots scre shot of his Twitter account. He says she is his client and talks about how credible she is testifying. Sounded like Meggs ulter ego

 

[NaplesNole88]

Glad I'm married and settled. Women are getting crazy.

LOL, so when they said wedding cake is the antidote to aphrodisiacs you thought they said it inoculated women from craziness...

 

[dbnoles]

If she wanted NFL money why don't she just marry her Auburn boyfriend. For someone that didn't want to pursue the case didn't take long to think about going after the money.

 

[flmom777]

Since this is a civil suit can her name be released?

Her name is in the threads from IRA from the courtroom. I think I found her twitter account, MadisonElsa13.

Correct. Sorry for my typo.

 

[BT_Nole]

What a cleat chasin' bitch.

 

[nolejohnny]

But I thought her mother could buy them.

 

[AllNoles]

Good luck with that.....she had a split lip and no proof it was dalvin. Even if he didnit.....what kind of payout does a split lip get you.

She was back out in the clubs 3 days after the incident in question.

What does going to Mint have to do with anything? If it happened like she said was she supposed to stay inside from then on?

 

[AllNoles]

Does she have a realistic shot at winning? She was drinking, has no credible witness, was an aggressor, shown that she hit someone and her story has was inconsistent.

Dalvin should sue her as well.

Travis Rudolph should sue her.

Not a good one with the independent witness but without that guy she might have. A good lawyer could use the players statements and Cooks statement to make them all look bad. They have inconsistent statements about stuff at first and then changed their stories at trial. The stats just did a horrendous job dealing with that. I suspect it would be handled much better at a civil trial.

That said, i don't see damages. Even if a jury went crazy it's what, a few hundred bucks? Maybe a grand? It's insane.

Can't the same be said about the two female witnesses. Both changed their stories and any good defense attorney would have attacked them without mercy if they didn't have the independent witness in their back pocket.

If she wants NFL money she needs to be dating an FSU player.

All I can say is wow! He thought this was going to be his next high profile case???

McDonough detailed the lack of evidence the police had ascertained at this point in the investigation.

Of course. But with a civil standard you never know what happens. Believe it or not, it's hard for a lot of people to contemplate why a woman would call the police like that to say something that didn't happen. It just doesn't make sense.

Is it still in vogue to sue over emotional damage or is that out of style yet?

 

[cpuckett]

OP never provided proof she is pursuing civil suit. Sure, the attorney says he expects it because has to have the mindset that she is counter-suing, but that doesn't mean it's actually happening. Not sure if she is or not but let's hold off calling her a money chaser, etc until this actually happens.

 

[Nole-Esq.]

He can cross-claim for malicious prosecution. I think the case ends in a mutual dismissal. Nothing to see here, IMO.

 

[-OB1-]

I saw some video of her testimony... Let's just say, I think the jury saw the exact same thing I did. She seemed a little off to me.

Jimbo and Thrasher should really use this and the civil suit against Jameis as a very good lesson to protect yourself. Because you will most likely be acquitted on the criminal charge (the statistics suggest that FSU student athletes will be found not guilty) but you are going to get you ass sued and it's a whole different animal in civil court with a greater chance of losing a lot of money.

 

[ParooKid]

SlamminSammy7 has it right. Looking for love in all the wrong places.

 

[More Kirk Less Spock]

How can you sue someone who found not guilty of battery against you? Doesn't make sense to me. If DC was innocent, who did it? Who does she sue if she can't sue him? TIA. Go Noles!

Different standard for criminal vs civil tort recovery.

WOW, crazy goes into hyper drive when you put a ring on it. Better keep that "sane" girl of yours happy....otherwise!!!

True. But there are literally no real damages. An award over a few grand would be reversed. What is the possible reason to pursue this.

Hope for very deep pockets and a desire to make it go away, but I agree - she would have to reach to create real damages.
