I would like to disclose a few context items in case someone questions why I have now posted 4+ times on Duke lacrosse. . .
I really dislike Duke; I am a fan of UNC basketball (even though I live 1800 miles away. . .I am not a lacrosse fanI know no one involved in the caseI have no ill feelings towards the girl. I have never done an internet search to read any of the trash posted about her; I think those postings were wrong. I am deeply upset by our media, legal system, and society "rushing to judgment" in cases like this. Meantime, real people are having their lives destroyed by the processI am convinced that the "court of public opinion" is missing a critical branch for people to "get their good name back." We have "professional apologists" (sorry, I meant PR people) for celebrities and sports figures that run afoul of the law, but no ability to say to these players, and their families: we were wrong! We're sorry. How can we make it right?
