Ten Years After

In the Duke lacrosse case, the families of the boys were well-to-do. What if the families could not have afforded to pay for the high-priced attorneys? Those boys would have been in prison today instead of leading respectable lives.

As for the woman who accused them, she got hers in the end. As did Nifong. Karma is a bad thing to tempt.

Damn right it is and karma is going to pay the left a visit this election.

This was the first 'big case' I remember where 'guilty until proven 'not proven' was carried out. No due process, their names released, the school slamming them.

"Women never lie about rape." Not so.

More of the war on men/boys.

We have a lot of guilty before trials anymore, and that sucks. The regular media, and then social media - we have folks being convicted by society much too fast anymore. And then sometimes you see riots, for example, before a trial even has a chance to begin. Facts don't matter to many anymore, nor do juries. Too often we see "vigilantes", as in entire areas being the judges instead of waiting for the actual facts and letting our justice system take its course.
