Their cobbled together teams of student journalists and went searching for the truth as investigative journalists. I enjoyed following their work.<br /><br />And I doubt they are finished with the Duke lacrosse rape hoax project.<br /><br />I sensed several times that Darby and McCartney had at their finger tips archival newspaper records of similar false accusations and charges brought against Duke students over the years and they have those records safely sealed away.<br /><br />Sealed away and waiting for the proper time to pen the final chapter in the careers of dozens of Duke faculty, staff and former students who maliciously sought-out white male athletes to persecute. <br /><br />Should be interesting reading for all of us to include criminal justice professionals and FIRE.<br /><br />Be patient Ryan and Seyward.<br />::<br />GPGary Packwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177986821224068759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-54716928542744340892011-03-18T15:40:02.906-04:002011-03-18T15:40:02.906-04:00I agree with Quasimodo about the cover of Newsweek...I agree with Quasimodo about the cover of Newsweek.

The DA, after review from the State Attorney General, decided not to pursue an alleged rape. The alleged victim sued 9 defendants for negligence and other causes of action, and suits against 6 of them have been thrown out. One of the current defendants is alleged to have been witness to the alleged rape for 45 seconds. In any case, the public reaction is that despite such a lack of evidence, all alleged perpetrators are guilty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-88782914567965601212011-03-15T12:54:10.448-04:002011-03-15T12:54:10.448-04:00An anniversary Duke will try to overlook
