This week on 60 Minutes, Armen Keteyian interviewed Coach Mike Pressler, the lacrosse coach who was forced to resign after three of his players were accused of brutally attacking and raping an exotic dancer at a team party in 2006.
It's a story 60 Minutes co-producers Michael Radutzky and Tanya Simon remember well. They followed the case from the time the accusations were made in March of 2006 -- to a year later in 2007 when the players were declared innocent.
In that time, 60 Minutes produced three detailed reports on the strange details surrounding the case, and conducted interviews with the three players and their families, the forensic expert involved in the case, even the other exotic dancer that was there the night of party, Kim Roberts.

There is no one that I will not watch or listen to. Then I make up my own opinions. Americans need to take what other people and pundits and the media and politicians tell them, and then look at who benefits and the potential motives and then be very cynical.
I found the segment interesting. This event in Duke was a travesty and those who hyped it and pushed it needed to lose their jobs, and should be sent to prison as a deterrent to their corrupt style of justice. America’s justice system is now overrepresented by racist elites and those with self serving political ambitions rather than objective justice. Average white Americans have become sacriifical lambs to the hypocrites of political correctness who are typically more racist that those they tar and feather.
So, who are the biggest cowards. The low life administrators at Duke, or the crowd at W&L?
Quite the contrary. I’m on the cops side 95 + % of the time. But when they shoot at an unarmed 50 year old man RUNNING AWAY from about 30-40 feet... kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
And what about this cop? You on his side too?

Never forget the “Gang of 88” jackasses, the Duke faculty.
I’ve followed this case since the beginning, all the way up to this day. A group of us still meet on Liestoppers.
I honestly can’t answer that question. There are SO MANY cowards and weasels, that it’s not possible for me to say who is worse.
I saw that segment - and am duly impressed with the coach - I hope he has the opportunity to play Duke with his little Bryant University team and whip them!!
“It’s not unreasonable to believe the cop thought his perp had gotten hold of his taser.”
that’s not a shooting-in-the-back-of-a-slow-fat-unarmed-man-5-times-at-50-feet offense. the fat man clearly didn’t have the taser, and if he did, the taser is a single-shot device that had already been used and posed no threat to anyone.
These boys, nor the coach, will ever feel like they have normal lives again. I wonder what ever happened to this coach?
A cop cannot allow his weapons to fall into the hands of anybody else, even if it’s just a one shot.
I’m not excusing him for moving it to the body, that alone should cost him his badge, but we cant ignore the possibility the cop honestly thought he was armed.
“I know the Lacrosse Kids received a substantial settlement from Duke.”
Depends on what you mean by “substantial”. Best guesses are that they netted about $2 million each, after expenses, and before taxes.
(A phony lien claim against one of them—debunked within a couple of hours after it was reported—made it seem like they received a much larger figure; but, as noted, that report was debunked by sleuths on the NET almost immediately.)
An apparently shallowly-researched recent book on the case repeated the larger figure—which imho is indicative (along with many other things in that book) of how bad its research was. But that’s MOO...
The first of 10 demands on the Duke Lacrosse Case:
We demand a vigorous prosecution and a thorough investigation...
