   Depends on the jurisdiction.  Some jurisdictions (such as N.E. cities) are   
   much more sympathetic to the plaintiff in these kinds of cases than other   
   courts (such as outer suburbs, southern states).  Indeed, there was a suburban   
   civil lawsuit, and the    
   plaintiffs tried really hard to get a change of venue into the city court for   
   that very reason, but their request was denied.
