Statute of limitations in NY tolls for minors ie the three years doesn’t even start to tick until the targets turn 18. The potential for civil damages likely isn’t as deep as you think it is/would be. Homeowners policies generally don’t have huge liability limits, they usually top out around $100K. There’s the possibility that some have an umbrella but those are tricky and if there are any, the insurer is likely to disclaim coverage due to a criminal act.
Yea I mean Westhill district is probably in the middle. Has some nice areas up on Onondaga Hill but also some not so nice areas. Which is true of most communities. Not sure why that perception exists.
I agree with you any civil lawsuits are unlikely to result in big payouts and are unlikely to be covered under the families' homeowners' insurance policies. Homeowners' policies cover accidents, not intentional acts. The policies all have exclusions for intentional acts like acts that result in criminal charges. Although there is caselaw in NY that the insurance company may have to pay defense costs (attorneys fees) to defend the lawsuit(s) in some situations depending upon the allegations in the civil complaint. It is much less liekly that the insurance carrier will pay any settlement or damages awarded a jury.
Not sure if this is a serious question or if I’m possibly missing your point. There are 5 kids that were targeted and 21 others that are trying to make peace with the entirety of the situation. They are trying to look forward to summer vacations and club season. They would like the news stories and social media cesspool to end and just be left alone to enjoy whatever other things they have going on - in short they want to move on and move forward to whatever is next in their lives. The adults who are not connected to them should probably do the same.
That sentence feels very cringey to me. Their summers should consist of a ton of community service, at minimum. They still have a debt to society.
i wasn't sure your post was a serious one. the story broke all of 3 weeks ago, it hasn't been a year long thing, and then follow ups and the most recent re: adjudicating it, again just several weeks out of the event. i'm not sure if your 21 number includes the 11 perpetrators, but for those 11, that's just too bad.
I get it. I only stated what I saw in a few of the online troll social media posts. Some people out there in the e-world were pushing this narrative, but to what end I have no idea. I am very familiar with the district and know the area. Some people are clowns.
You’re misinterpreting this. There were 37 kids on the varsity total. Take out the 11 perpateators out and you’re left with 26 kids that were targeted or uninvolved. Those 26 are trying to move on. The other 11 will be having a much different summer than they envisioned a few months ago.
Weren’t most, if not all, of the 11 involved seniors who will be gone next year? Those 26 uninvolved kids sure have learned a very tough lesson the hard way because of those 11.
Largely but not exclusively. I won’t divulge exact information since I don’t want to unintentionally dox anyone.
The 11 perpetrators are not in that 21 - there were 37 kids on the team prior to the incident. The 11 will get the consequences prescribed by the applicable judge in either family court or town court. I am not particularly concerned about them nor would I assume, is anyone else.
Like I said it’s been a bit exhausting.
If Westhill is the Bevery Hills of Onondaga County, would Abbott's Frozen Custard be their Peach Pit?
Why is Andrea 40 years old and still in highschool
Easy Eric. You’re missing the point. He’s taking about the kids NOT involved. Smh
My bad. I misread it.
As a self inflicted punishment, I will turn myself into the DA within 48 hours for accidentally misreading that post.
