I have to admit, at the time I thought they must be guilty of SOMETHING. There was “too much smoke” for there not to be fire. It never occurred to me, at least initially, that the police and the prosecuter would be so deeply involved in a frame job.

I have, and had, a strong bias against Duke as a haven for priviledge, with the Lacrosse team being the ultimate super privledged boys club with a culture of heavy partying drinking and getting away with anything and everything. Given that bias, it was easy for me to believe the accusations. Apparently many others fell into that trap. I think I learned a lot from this case, like how not to believe everything you read/see on the internet! LOL

I actually know one of the players on the team, and by chance ran into him a few years ago while visiting the Duke campus. He was in his 5th year at Duke after having his “lost” year of eligibility restored by the NCAA. Really nice young man!
