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

Wouldn't the fact that articles were already ready for publication be an indication that this is a PR move? A PR decision?
TO 3:21 PM--
Now you are beginning to understand what is going on.
Yup, no doubt the text of the speech was released to the media ahead of the talk itself. Call that PR if you want, but it was certainly designed to make this talk newsworthy.
"Duke needed to be clear that it demanded fair treatment for its students," he said. "I took that completely for granted. If anyone doubted it, then I should have been more explicit, especially as the evidence mounted that the prosecutor was not acting in accordance with the standards of his profession."
Translation: For those who have suddenly developed amnesia while inside the orgasmic bliss of the Duke law school discussions......Richard Brodhead was so paralyzed by the racist threats and intimidation coming from black members of the Gang of 88 and the New Black Panthers who would show up around campus as needed ......that even contemplating that Reade, Collin, and David should be afforded due process was way down the line on his list of priorities.
Hey, just don't dare call little Dicky a racist. That was the most importanst issue for him at the time.
Brodhead is not strong enough to lead through this kind of crisis.
It requires a set which he does not have.
How can anyone take this phony speech as anything but his attempt to save himself?
Professor Horwitz,
The point is, if this is a PR move, it is not a genuine apology. There is no contrition, no remorse, no guilt, no learning, nothing. To call it PR is to call it NOTHING.
