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

Links at the article don't make clear that the Accused were declared innocent by the NC State Attorney General.
Just links to a 2006 article on the rape charge being dropped and Nifong's plans to pursue Kidnapping and other felony charges!!
I have friends who have heard Reade Seligmann speak about his experience before, in a similar setting. He is candid, completely honest, and appears to want to focus on how our justice system can be improved to ensure fairness for those who do not have the resources he had.....to retain counsel, etc. A class guy and a fine future lawyer
Cool. If anyone attends and can report this would be very interesting. I wonder what his plans are for his law career?
Will it get posted?
Any reaction from the 20th talk?
How was the talk?
Attended the event with a friend who had also read UPI. We met Reade in the elevator on the way to the theatre where the talk was taking place. We enjoyed talking to him. He is an impressive guy in his second year at Emory Law School here in Atlanta. The Georgia Innocence Project sponsored the event. There were three men at the event who had been freed through the efforts of the Georgia Innocence Project. One of these men, Clarence Harrison, introduced Reade. It was clear that he and Reade are not strangers.
Reade clearly differentiated between the lacrosse players’ situation and that of the men who had been incarcerated. He then gave a personal account of the events that took place. It was incredibly interesting. We had to leave just as he finished speaking so I don’t know if there were any questions from the audience.
My friend commented as we were leaving on the injustice of Nifong’s not being in jail.
