NY Knicks sexual harrassment lawsuit settled for $11.6 million

Anucha Browne Sanders, a 44-year-old former Northwestern University basketball star, says she was dismissed in 2005 because she dared to accuse head coach of the NY Knicks, Isiah Thomas of routinely using vulgar language in his first year and of later making unwanted sexual advances toward her. She sought reinstatement to a job as vice president of marketing, which paid as much as $260,000 annually.

In the end, the sexual harrassment lawsuit setted for $11.6 million.

Is this fair a fair settlement? Or overdone? Would you allow someone to harrass you for $11.6 million??

I think sexual harassment has long term effects on a person. I think we will never know what really happened there and how her life changed after the harassment. I think her life changed for the bad she was a victim. Is it fair?  Can you  put a price on such a thing.  Like the judge ruled there was something wrong there although it seems like she black mailed but we never know what were her options. If he was willing to pay so much for a month then 11 million is something he could handle. I would never let anyone harass me for any amount what so ever. I think the effects after an harassment are a lot more worst. Is it really harassment if you

let someone do it?

War Crimes Suspect to Fight Move to UN...

SelectPlusWar Crimes Suspect to Fight Move to UN TribunalWar Crimes Suspect to Fight Move to UN TribunalThe Associated PressSerb nationalists skirmished with riot police in the capital Tuesday, lashing out against the capture of war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic. Karadzic's lawyer vowed to appeal his extradition to a U.N. war crimes court. (July 22)Serbian national television broadcast this video which is supposed to be Serbian nationalist Radovan Kradzic. He was arrested Monday night on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. He apparently lived in plain sight by disguising his identity. [Notes:from serbia arrest wrap 1930](nats in serbian)Serbian officials also showed off pictures and said that Karadzic also used false id.The charges against Karadzic stem from his actions during Bosnia's war that last from 1992 to 1995. He's accused of masterminding the deadly wartime siege of Sarajevo and the 1995 executions of up to eight-thousand Muslim boys and men in Srebrenica. [Notes:from us albright](SOT: MADELEINE ALBRIGHT, FORMER U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE)" I THINK IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE RADOVAN KARADZIC WAS THE PERSON ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MASSIVE ETHNIC CLEANSING AND KILLINGS IN SERBIA AND IN BOSNIA, AND IT IS A WATERSHED EVENT BECAUSE IT PROVES THAT YOU CAN'T CONSTANTLY FOREVER HIDE FROM JUSTICE. In Bosnia, some people cried with joy at Karadzic's arrest. (nats)This woman says she's been waiting 13 years for his arrest. (SOT: ALBRIGHT) IT IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE BOSNIAN PEOPLE, THE VICTIMS. WE ALL REMEMBER THE HORRIBLE PICTURES OF WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOPLE AND WHAT HAPPENED IN SREBRENICA. Supporters of Karadzic are angry at his capture.(nats of protests)Even clashing with riot police.Karadzic has three days to appeal a judge's ruling that he should be turned over to the U-N War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague in the Netherlands. ___ ___, The Associated Press.
