If Lucy had been from a lower income family and this had happened in an apartment complex in Birmingham (or most anywhere), and the swains' jobs were changing tires or oil for a living, or they were roofers or landscapers, or on the dole, the case would have been closed (like it was in Ithica) and no civil lawyer would have bothered to bring the case against the mechanics, roofers and landscapers, and the lower rent apartment where the events occurred. "If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal, if her daddy's poor just do what you feel . . ." as the old song goes. Social class is very much a factor in Doe's lawsuit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvUQcnfwUUM&list=RDwvUQcnfwUUM&start_radio=1
