The reporter responds that the Appeals Court allowed the case because
they felt that the promises made to the victim by police were so
specific as to lose them exemption under the public duty doctrine,
including Lynch (a NC case), despite the defense arguing most of the
usual suspect precedents.
If the victim wins this one, we won't learn much other than where the
"specific promise" line is located in North Carolina, but if she
loses this one as dozens of other victims have before her, it should
hopefully wake a even more complacent people up.
