Pure bunk. Over 500 law professors (criminal law, at that) were asked to sign a petition on behalf of the falsely-accused Duke lacrosse players, well after it had become obvious that they were the victims of a railroading by DA Nifong.
Precisely ONE agreed to do so — a retired Arizona Supreme Court judge.
So much for the moral squint used by law professors...
Erwin Chemerinsky btw was a prof at Duke University Law School during the Duke lacrosse case — that is, while “Scottsboro II” was happening to Duke students right in his own back yard.
He was missing in action...
He too must have a moral squint that prevents him from seeing legal wrongs in certain cases...
