Comments Policy
(1) Comments are moderated, but with the lightest of touches, to exclude only off-topic comments or obviously racist or similar remarks.
(2) My clearing a comment implies neither that I agree nor that I disagree with the comment. My opinion is expressed in my words and my words only. Since this blog has more than 1500 posts, and since I at least occasionally comment myself, the blog provides more than enough material for readers to discern my opinions.
(3) If a reader finds an offensive comment, I urge the reader to e-mail me; if the comment is offensive, I will gladly delete it.
(4) Commenters who either misrepresent their identity or who engage in obvious troll behavior will not have their comments cleared. Troll-like behavior includes, but is not limited to: repeatedly linking to off-topic sites; repeatedly asking questions that already have been answered; offering unsubstantiated remarks whose sole purpose appears to be inflaming other commenters.
- "From the Scottsboro Boys to Clarence Gideon, some of the most memorable legal narratives have been tales of the wrongly accused. Now “Until Proven Innocent,” a new book about the false allegations of rape against three Duke lacrosse players, can join these galvanizing cautionary tales . . , Taylor and Johnson have made a gripping contribution to the literature of the wrongly accused. They remind us of the importance of constitutional checks on prosecutorial abuse. And they emphasize the lesson that Duke callously advised its own students to ignore: if you’re unjustly suspected of any crime, immediately call the best lawyer you can afford."--Jeffrey Rosen, New York Times Book Review

lots of good stuff without finger pointing
Duke & Carolina at it's best
bad link.

The link did work but there was a blurb that you had to watch before you got to the roundtable.
JLS says...,
This column jumps off from an idea discussed here some, Nifong's kid changing his name:
Help! I’m Being Nifonged!
I enjoyed this line in the column:
Let’s see . . . who else do we have that we must hound, disdain and then ignore forever?
One thing that can be said about Melanie Sill, besides the fact that she and her colleagues at the N&O prejudiced this case tremendously for months, is that it's obvious she didn't get her job by sleeping around.
Is it just me who isn't getting the round table discussion? I was linked to a story about Cheeks.

Just let it keep playing. The roundtable will emerge.
I got the link to work. Excellent discussion by smart people. Thanks KC. P.S. The total budget for Durham's public defender all year is 3.1 million -- the total rumored defense cost of this one case. No wonder such crap passes for status quo in our courts. Unconscionable.
I don't think the cost of Dukes 3 defense should be the standard. If there had not been a bunch of crooks along the way, it probably should not have cost over 10K. That's because the case should have never been filed.
It seems pretty awful that the budget for public defenders should be raised simply because there are so many crooks in our court officers.
The Roundtable was good enough.
What they didn't mention was
that some - (such as the 88) -
wanted to see Sharia Law
applied for the "offenders"
(maybe a couple of honor killings
and whatnot.)
That's what the Potbangers
were asking for, with their signs
calling for the removal of certain
parts of the students' bodies.
Ummm.
Where was the Hurled Scum's rep.
in the roundtable?
