A pre-existing medical condition, Garvey said, would have made an injury particularly harmful.After the incident, Harvard coach Tim Murphy suspended Velissaris and Lane for the 2006 home opener against Holy Cross for exercising “poor judgment.” The night of the altercation, another Harvard football player was arrested in a separate incident.

The adversarial process in the U.S. and other Western countries tends to be messy and unpredictable, combative and often emotional, which is why it is so effective at producing judgments that last.
