What c...I'm writing this comment April 15th, 2007. <BR/><BR/>What changes a year has wrought. Seligman, Finnerty and Evans declared "innocent" by N.C. attorney general Roy Cooper about 4 days ago.<BR/><BR/>Michael Nifong, Durham prosecuting attorney totally disgraced and on his way to being disbarred, and possibly removed from office.<BR/><BR/>New phrases have taken root:<BR/><BR/>"Nifonged" the art of being smeared guilty while innocent.<BR/><BR/>"Angry Studies" and the "hate 88" which symbolize African American Studies and Womyn's Studies and their ilk. The "hate 88" are the 88 professors at Duke who posted their now infamous "listening" statement which strongly suggested that the Duke Lacrosse team was guilty of terrible things indicative of white, male privilege.<BR/><BR/>Three Duke sets of parents just calmly going along with their lives; sons doing well at a pretigious college when their lives and bank accounts were turned upside down. At this stage each family owes approximately 1 million dollars in legal fees. The family's are actually working families; they're not to be confused with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Huge bills for them. Initial bail was set at an astronomical amount, $400,000.<BR/><BR/>TV pundits; embarrassed themselves in a rush to judgement; particularly WRONG: Nancy Grace, Georgia Goslee and Wendy Murphy. None have yet to repent of their rushes to judgement. All were staggeringly wrong in their theories.<BR/><BR/>Unknowns became heroes:<BR/><BR/>1) Dr. Robert K.C. Johnson, Joan Foster, John in Carolina.<BR/>2) Defense attorneys: Joe Chesire, Wade Smith, Brad Bannon and the late J. Kirk Osborn.<BR/>3) Roy Cooper - next governor of North Carolina.<BR/><BR/>An incredible year; every morning I would wake up and eagerly head to Durham-in-wonderland to find out the latest.<BR/><BR/>Ya gotta love K.C., he is a little anal retentive! grin Dr. Bill Anderson and Michael Gaynor also added regular insights that high-lighted truth.<BR/><BR/>Civil lawsuits to follow.<BR/><BR/>Biggest remaining questions: Will Richard Brodhead still be president of Duke University next year.<BR/><BR/>When will Mike Nifong beforced to step down as D.A. in Durham. Soon I hope.S.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09746381491495106590noreply@blogger.com
