"We affirm."
With those two short, sweet, words of the NH Supreme Court, the Berry girls 4-year fight to hold the WTS responsible has come to an abrupt and bitter end.
A preliminary scan of the opinion indicates a virtual slam-dunk victory for the WTS, although there was one dissenting justice out of the four on one issue only, the only female justice of the four. (coincidence? or not? hmmm......)
The full opinion will be posted within the hour.
Very sad news :(
Damn it. I knew my gut was right when I thought about this case.
Very, very sad and disappointing news.
I am so disappointed, and angry, too. Those girls have been through so much, to have it end like this. How much longer before the WTBS is held accountable?
I would say the dubs will be smug about this, but the ones around here have never even heard of the case, I'm sure.
Thank you Elsewhere for the added info.
Damselfly
I'm sorry for these brave young women and their supportive family. But I know they have moved on and their self-worth is not dependent on a court case.
