I'm tracking, but in a civil suit, isn't the threshold for guilt much lower than in criminal court? It's preponderance of the evidence, right? I mean, that's what bankrupted OJ. And are they going after each member individually, or collectively (or is that not possible)? Seems like it won't take much to convince a jury that the frat members are just slightly more responsible for Tim's death than he was. I can't imagine their pain, but I would think dredging up these memories in court for months or years to come is a juice not worth the squeeze - their son is not coming back, no matter how many people they bankrupt.
