<p>^What a nightmare that young man went through!</p>
<p>I hadn’t ever heard about this kind of situation: 2 people pointing the finger at each other and claiming that the OTHER person is the plagarist and they were the original author. </p>
<p>“Although the court is at a loss as to what motivated Duquette to plagiarize Coster’s paper, the evidence established that Duquette acted recklessly when she did so,” Scholl wrote. "She also acted recklessly when she failed to disclose the truth about what she had done in the face of the charges leveled against Coster by CCSU and Coster’s eventual expulsion.</p>
<p>“Although it does not appear that Duquette could have contemplated such a result from her efforts to simply get a good grade in Dr. Moss’ course,” the judge continued, “she did nothing to rectify the situation when she had an opportunity to do so, but instead continued to claim the paper as her own to protect her own status at the university, all to Coster’s severe disadvantage and harm.”</p>
