Well the attorneys did bribe the school for 3 mil not to leak it to the press.

I tell you it is very difficult for me not to evoke ugly images of the Jim Crow era
How many 12 y/o do you know that are familiar with Jim Crow era or the entire lynching history? I am guessing these are simply some idiots who did something stupid, but I highly doubt they are a group of twelve year old psychopaths intent on lynching black people.
If she's standing in the seat the rope is taut, right? How is it "running down around her neck" ?
So, the girl doesn't act and doesn't describe the situation as you think she should to fit your scenario ... so, again, we have a taut rope coiling mysteriously around a girl's neck while she falls ... and no one helps her???
Even in your absurd physics-defying scenario,
the school is still culpable for the harm to this young lady and apparent conspiracy to minimize what happened.

So it was such a serious hate crime with three white boys lynching a black girl that they went straight to an attorney and not the police? Sounds kind of odd. Explain that logic to me
When Rougely picked up her daughter the next day, she “thought KP’s neck had been ripped open and stitched back together based on how the injury appeared” and immediately took her to the emergency room, the suit says.
