Besides mangling the facts of the case, Ms. Murphy wrote, "If a guilty criminal spends enough money on PR, we can be persuaded that up is down, and a murderer is a national hero." Based on my impression of the DL case and the AK/RS case, I would argue that when a defendant attempts to make a case in the court of public opinion, it is because he or she has already been savaged by some linear combination of the prosecutor and the press.Chris Halkideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933976220776524122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-48914722779641603882011-11-21T20:02:13.096-05:002011-11-21T20:02:13.096-05:00Hey, you think Wendy Murphy is bad.

Those readers will tell you that the NYT long ago forfeited any semblance of impartiality, so this comes as no surprise. What would be surprising is if the NYT developed standards that would would be down the middle of ideological divide between protected classes and others. <br /><br />Remember, as a white male, you are lowest form of life on earth who is the source of all the worlds problems from the beginning of time. If you come in conflict with anyone from a protected class, you should have no expectation of the presumption of innocence or fairness.YaTadKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338700221191136923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-82284398613292505692011-11-21T10:37:47.796-05:002011-11-21T10:37:47.796-05:00This blog is one lone voice crying in the wilderne...This blog is one lone voice crying in the wilderness. The fact that it is absolutely correct on this topic shows how vast that wilderness is. Wendy Murphy is as empty as that wilderness, on any number of topics.

Murphy never offered her services to Mr. Nifong during his ethics trial or to Crystal Mangum during her legal problems. Ms. Murphy, like Nancy disGrace has been silent about the Duke case for several years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-74012342497931063652011-11-21T03:44:51.527-05:002011-11-21T03:44:51.527-05:00Since one out of four women in college will be rap...Since one out of four women in college will be raped or sexually assaulted, I'm waiting to read about the 1,000+ cases at Duke since the Crystal Mangum fraud. Actually, I'm glad I don't have to read anything so disgusting. Thank goodness that statistic turned out to be another epic, even fantastic, lie. <br /><br />Has there ever been a bigger circus-carnival-like fraud and freak show huckster than Wendy Murphy? P.T. Barnum? No? At least I tried. I did a long post on TalkLeft about changing Rape Shield Laws, but it appears to have sunk in into the quicksands of the internetz! <br /><br />Quite obviously, the first thing you don't do is give the anonymous accuser a free stage in your newspaper while outting the alleged culprits. That's what Samiha Khanna did with her "Dancer Gives Details of Ordeal" article. <br /><br />On another note, it was always my opinion that Tracy Cline was up to no good in the Mangum Hoax and that she may have been up to evil. Now, it appears she's completely off her rocker. Can I be sad for someone who I thought was evil? In any event, I am. MOO!

This is the NYT after all. What have they done lately to make anyone think that they would do anything differently? If this had happened 40 years ago, sure, outrage would have been warranted but not now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
