If it did come to court, Boston would likely lose the case, but they know that. What they're counting on is the fact that a protracted legal battle is, in more ways than one, draining on the plaintiff. What counts to the BPD is that the damage was done and done quickly, and there's no stopping that. For those who are poor, protracted legal battles are least affordable, and they know that as well.
