Great article at Durham in wonderland . . .

http://durhamwonderland.blogspot.com/2006/09/sunday-news-and-information-request.html

"These four officers were responsible for the same area. Gottlieb arrested ten times as many Duke students as the other three officers combined, for the exact same time period. [Update, 11.54am: A commentor notes, "The statistical odds that Gottlieb's arrest of more Duke students than the other supervisors in his district was not due to random chance (i.e. he was intentionally targeting them) is: p < 0.000000000007."]

"Civil rights advocates often use such extreme statistical disparities to prove bias. But at Lead and Gold, Craig Henry raises an issue that most interests me: "Duke parents might want to ask what the administration was doing about a policeman who was targeting Duke students for harsh treatment."

Can't wait to get Gottlies on the stand.

So, how much do you think Durham atty's rake in on defending Duke students each year?
