Federal judges rip into practices at Alabama middle school where 14-year-old raped when used as bait
A trio of federal judges this morning dug into the tangled, nearly unbelievable case of a 14-year-old girl sodomized in a middle school bathroom after employees used her as bait to catch a repeat sexual harasser.
But the judges didn't want to talk about the facts of the 2010 botched sting operation. Those were not in dispute.
Today was about liability, about who knew what when, about whether the principal and assistant principals could have prevented this attack, about whether the Madison County school board should face a jury trial for civil damages.
"That's what we always wanted, a jury trial," Eric Artrip, attorney for the girl, told news cameras outside the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in downtown Atlanta early this morning.
