As Diane Catotti rebukes her colleagues who have called for the resignation of a DA the Bar said broke three laws and violated the Constitution--and as she proposes various procedures that seem more designed to retry the lacrosse case than to determine how the police sought indictments against three innocent people without probable cause--it's worth considering just where her loyalties lie.
Below is a photo of her from last September. Unlike other backers of Nifong (such as Floyd McKissick), Catotti has never said that she regrets having so publicly backed the disgraced DA. It seems that her loyalty to Nifong's crusades, if not Nifong the person, is very deep indeed.
Hat tip: T.K.
AG Cooper came through and did the right thing. I see business as usual by this time next year in Wonderland. Its a shame, but there are so many agenda's being pushed that true justice for the DPD and other enablers just won't happen. I pray I'm wrong, but I see nothing to show me otherwise.

ReplyDeleteOne small correction: The lacrosse case cannot be "retried;" there was no trial to begin with. Nor should it have been.
The fundamental problem with the approach of Catotti and the Council is that they appear to want to re-examine the merits of the charges against the players. That has already been decided - the charges were meritless.
The sole purpose of the inquiry, as I understand it, is to examine the conduct and role of the police in charging and arresting three obviously innocent young men. That has nothing to do with race or sex. A rape counselor cannot assist in such an inquiry.
An inquiry of this sort requires people with training and expertise in the law and police procedure.
Just because the case became polluted by with racial and class rhetoric does not mean the inquiry should be similarly contaminated.
I am afraid the committee assembled by the City will only find ways to justify the police conduct by examining the role of the DPD through the same prism of race, sex and perceived social status that created this mess in the first place.
Maybe there is something more here than a misguided fool.
ReplyDeleteAgenda, money, something owed to Nifong. Who knows?
This thing should be over in a few weeks. What is the use of for a calling for a resignation now? I do not live in Durham, North Calolina or the East Coast. I don't care about their cops,Da, Maypor, etc. All I crared about was the guys being proved Innocent.
ReplyDeleteThe mischief of putting a "rape crisis center advocate" on the committee, is that such persons have no qualifications in proper law enforcement procedures, nor do they even care about proper procedures.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, they uniformly take the position that "women never lie about rape," and as such they don't even believe that men accused of rape are entitled to a defense.
Such a person would endorse a police procedure to hang the accused without trial. How can we expect such an individual to honestly assess a frame-up?

Which is exactly why Catotti, having failed to prevent the inquiry, immediately made this demand.
She is also very loyal to the NC NAACP as can be seen on her bio on the Durham website. While such an act would not normally render criticism, under the circumstances it is certainly worth evaluating seeing how the NAACP took a postion of rendering a verdict in this case long before any facts came forward.

When I was a senior in college, I took an honors seminar entitled human sexuality: past, present, and future. One class we had a discussion with rape councilors. While a lot of rape activists are loopy, some generally do care and do not prejudge and care for ALL who claim rape but do not immediatly believe.
In this case I do believe she will get a loopy leftist. However, we need to be careful about painting with a broad brush. We saw what happended to the guys and "jock mentality."

ReplyDeleteIndeed, they uniformly take the position that "women never lie about rape," and as such they don't even believe that men accused of rape are entitled to a defense.
What is the current reported rape rate? Around 1 in 1000 females in the population, I believe. Even assuming that 61% of rapes are not reported (and ignoring any discounts for the false reporting rate, whatever it is), that means around 2 in 1000 females are raped in any one year.
That being the case, 99.8% of females never lie about rape because they simply do not get the chance.
Now, of those who do make rape claims, I figure that somewhere around 10% are false.
That being the case, I think that female concerns about rape are vastly over-hyped, as are male concerns about false rape claims. Although, I suspect that the second concern is a reaction to the beatup about rape by certain groups.

ReplyDelete"Paper: News & Observer, The (Raleigh, NC)
Title: Council comes clean
Date: January 20, 2007
Before the Durham City Council voted 7-0 Tuesday in favor of a major rezoning for Duke University, members paused to acknowledge their ties to the county's largest employer.
Council member Mike Woodard read a legalistic statement disclosing that he is a Duke employee but that his employment and compensation were not tied to the approval of the rezoning and therefore it was not a conflict of interest to cast a vote that benefited the university.
Council member Diane Catotti then disclosed that her husband works for Duke, but she also said that his compensation and employment were not tied to her vote."

ReplyDeleteProfessor Johnson, I'm also a professor of history. As an historian, I do not understand why you haven't addressed how, and why, the law protects criminals like Crystal Mangum. It would seem to me that you need to explore why women can make false allegations against men and suffer no punishment. This is an historical phenomenon sui generis to this case.
I don't mean to be overly critical, but the above is a key aspect of the case. Why at this point in American history must society tolerate repulsive immoral behavior from individuals like Mangum? Her freedom is an insult to the average law-abiding American citizen.

Perhaps you are correct. If race was a 'set your hair on fire' issue back in April of '05 in Durham she may have her hands full if she voted against a proposal from a minority contractor.

ReplyDeleteI fail to undrstand how that resume makes her position for the support of MIke Nifong and her resistance to the reform of the Durham city government in the least bit tenable. Let's review the facts; Three young men were falsely accused of rape facing a max of 30 years in prison each. They spent$3-5 million to defend themselves of these spurious charges by a known prostitute and substance abuser for a case built on innuendo, illegally withheld exculpatory evidence, procedurely and ethically challenged identification methods not to mention continual lying by Nifong and Wilson and a myriad of other deceptions.
And you and Catotti have the unmitigated gall to suggest that no investigation is needed, Nifong shouldn't resign (he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible). Nifong and Catotti are an embarassment to one of my schools-UNC. When political agendas are advanced with the sacrifice of innocent people regardless of their sex, race or religion, those promoting such agendas need to be fully exposed and pilloried before the public. No exceptions - right or left.
Hey with all this chatter about Catotti's "rape counselor" headed for the commission, I'm reminded of the dude with the SANE nurse for wife who was going to slam dunk KC's critique of Tara Levicy. Isn't that project overdue? Where is that cat and his wife?

If Catotti really is a "trained

likely would be to try to water-
down all efforts to remove Nifong
and the DPD.
Stacking the deck isn't new, and
neither is putting someone in jail
with unreasonably high bail in
order to gain a "witness" (stooge-
stoolie.) Stacking the deck on
commissions has a similar feel.
Catotti doesn't like "speculative

How about "speculative bankruptcy,"
when they're sued out of their
bloody wazoos? That's obviously
what she's trying to thwart.

ReplyDeleteThe selection by quota is a sham and will ruin the integrity of the commission. Imagine if you were a black and/or female and were selected to join the commision. Wouldn't you have some sense that, since you were chosen by quota, there was some EXPECTATION that you would act according to a race/gender based agenda? I am embarrassed to be a Durham resident. This is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bitch. The Quota Queen got her "community quota" to exclude white males from representing the community in any interactions with the outside police (5 men) brought in.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad day's work for the NAACP's token white member.
All but eliminate white input other than one besides the Femmenazi white woman "rape counselor" she demands be added for her value in the non-rape case that revealed widespread police problems.
According to Durham's Aug 2006 Demographics, whites are actually a slight majority at 45% (blacks are 43%), and Catotti excludes the 3% Asian and 8.3% Hispanic part of the population from any consideration in being part of the community part of the independent investigation - as well as white males.
Marvelous!
"The sole purpose of the inquiry, as I understand it, is to examine the conduct and role of the police in charging and arresting three obviously innocent young men. That has nothing to do with race or sex. A rape counselor cannot assist in such an inquiry."
ReplyDeleteI must disagree that a rape counselor cannot assist in such an inquiry. Merely being a rape counselor does not sabotage your mind and dictate that you must believe any claim, no matter how thoroughly discredited, of sexual assault -- any more than being on the women's lacrosse team meant, as some pundits thought, that you must be overlooking the clear merits of the case and instead defending the accused out of blind and ignorant loyalty. A rape crisis counselor of competence and integrity might be able to provide some of the most valuable information of the inquiry, by pointing to the process by which Mangum was built up as a victim and saying "This is exactly the point at which any competent investigator should have suspected the possibility that Mangum's allegations had no basis in fact, and these are the people who should have known it."
Of course, a rape crisis counselor picked by Catotti is extremely unlikely to be one whose competence and integrity are sufficient to allow them to admit that the lacrosse players and not Mangum were the victims of the affair.
No white males because the case was charged with race & gender issues?
ReplyDeleteWTF?
White males were wrongly charged and then later found innocent. The *victims* were WHITE MALES, Diane.

"Putting someone from a rape crisis center on the commission only makes sense on the assumption that someone was... raped. As there was no rape, this is not a rape case. So the commission is tainted already by its assumption that the case has something to do with rape."
ReplyDeleteThis claim, that a rape crisis counselor can add nothing of value since we now know that there was no rape, is false. It would be like saying "The bank robbers got into the bank by posing as auditors from the FDIC; obviously, real auditors from the FDIC have nothing of value to tell us about how the people who could have stopped the robbers' access to secure areas instead unwittingly aided it." Given that this is Catotti's pick, I agree that this rape crisis counselor is almost certainly going to push the denialist party line of "let's pretend that there's still some credibility to the charges", but if we let ourselves fall into the trap of "oh, all people in profession X have this stereotypical mindset I attribute to them" then we're lowering ourselves to the level of those who thought they knew the lacrosse players to be guilty just because they were "spoiled rich white boys".

ReplyDelete"I must disagree that a rape counselor cannot assist in such an inquiry. Merely being a rape counselor does not sabotage your mind..."
Since there was no rape, a rape counselor would contribute about as much as a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker. The only reason to include a rape counselor is to "retry" this case in public and pretend (again) that there was a rape.
The only crimes committed in this case involved Nifong, the enablers and the lynch mob.

Basically, it sounds like a slimy deal where a black owned financial firm, Rice Financial, came in and shrewdly played the race card to drum up some questionably city debt financing using derivatives securities (probably something called "swaptions"). Basically, the city could save millions on repaying debt, but could also loose millions more if the market doesn't go right.
Catotti opposed this [which I agree with, having once worked in swaptions -- cities should hedge, not speculate]. She lost a vote that split along white black lines and was accused of being (drum roll please) "a racist".
Maybe she is just playing an election game by playing the race as well as gender card back again for the election.
The whole is just stupid of course -- she was on the right side and now the wrong of crony based stupidity of the worst sort.
[opposition]... claimed that support had more to do with awarding a fat contract to a minority firm than good financial management practices.
Follow the money.
ReplyDelete1:53, I've already addressed your assertion and why it is false, and you just keep asserting it over and over as if doing so was mature debate. I say again that a rape crisis counselor of competence and integrity would be a significant asset to the inquiry, since such a person would almost certainly have seen false allegations themselves, just as physicians inevitably see hypochondriacs, drug-seekers, and people with factitious disorder. Or are we to believe that the police chiefs can add nothing to the investigation either, since they are only capable of nodding blindly and chanting "uh-huh, uh-huh, every suspect's guilty, every suspect's guilty," instead of saying "here is where the DPD departed from best practices and these are the deviations that let this case continue when it should have stopped"?

MAC - There is no evidence that Levicy was hysterical. Anyone with a WERT certification ( that is something worth having Wildreness Emergency Technician)- goes into the outback and helps rescue folk injured has long since passed the hysterical phase.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, Catotti is up for re-election this year according to the Durham City Gov. site. Seems she might be employing the same tactics as Nifong did for re-election.
ReplyDeleteI agree wtih Antaeus Feldspar that "a rape crisis counselor of competence and integrity would be a significant asset to the inquiry."
ReplyDeleteIn that rape crisis counselors often are the first people to hear rape allegations, they can play a major role in prosecutions. There is a good chance that the role of rape crises counselors will be reviewed along with the roles of D.A.s, police, and SANEs. Therefore, a rape crisis counselor could be a useful addition to the committee.

ReplyDeleteWERT is a huge step above the SANE. We even have people calling the rape kit - the SANE kit. WTF
ReplyDelete"a rape crisis counselor could be a useful addition to the committee".
ReplyDeleteBut this isn't a case about rape, it's a case about a false accusation about rape. No rape took place. So what relevance can a rape crisis counsellor have on this particular committee?

ReplyDelete1) James Coleman. OBVIOUS choice. Brilliant, fully informed both on the law and on the facts of the case, eminently qualified -- only a race pimp, or a liar or a moron could claim otherwise.
2) Joseph Neff. Screw the racial quota bullshit: Joe has plenty of bona fides as a reporter for the local "liberal" paper, and an immense amount of information about the case at his fingertips. The commission NEEDS a very highly-informed, go-to "facts person".
3) Butch Williams. Black (I mention this first only to make Diane Catotti cream her jeans.) Fearless defense lawyer. Familiar with right and wrong police procedures, and with everything that can go seriously wrong when cops deviate from what's right.
WERT/WART EMT/EMO All wonderful.

Maybe as a WERT (Wireless Emergency

be looking for the bus that

the front of it.
In any case, people can be hysterical for different reasons:
a person who can climb a building
might get hysterical in the
presence of a snake, someone who
can climb the Grand Tetons might
be terrified of spiders or of a
hypodermic needle. Everyone has
their fears, prejudices and
phobias.
I'd be hysterical if I was someone

Mac - When the DA calls, law abiding citizens answer - no matter how many meeting there are. I am not sure, but I think these were no meeting with Levicy until June and none after her took her Supervisor Theresa. You will know for sure, I think .
ReplyDeleteMac - Rns, Doctors and EMTs are trained to not get hysterical - Unless a personal loss, you would be drummed out of the corps. When the DA calls, law abiding citizens answer the telephone.

ReplyDeleteYeah, when a law-abiding citizen is called by the D.A., you're right: they do answer. Too bad when the D.A. isn't law-abiding.
That's been my point all along
with regard to Levicy's
(potential) peril: since Nifong has
shown such a willingness to drive
his bus right over top of crowds of
people, why should Nurse Tara
feel safe? He wouldn't regard
her any more than he did the 3
students! Especially not with
his own neck at stake.
I've never imputed that she was
guilty of anything, but I have

have found herself coerced,
threatened or similarly treated,
