Three paragraphs was enough for me.
I presume the families and their civil lawyers are keeping book on this stuff.
From Duke in Wonderland
"Rosenberg dismissed my request—commenting that only extremist advocates of the economic status quo could say anything positive about the lacrosse players."

Yep those out takes from Seligmann were very powerful. I do think what we have here is:
1. One guy who knows he is a bit of on the edge guy in Finnerty.
2. One guy who knows he is a part leader but part follower and get along to go along guy in Evans.
3. One guy who did every thing right. A guy who probably rarely if ever drank underage. A guy who got good grades, did everything asked of him, etc. and was the model kid in Seligmann.
Seligmann is naturally the most outraged that this has happened.
Also on those out takes Evans' comments about graduating on mothers day and what Nifong stole from Evans' mother is something everyone should hear. It is terribly sad.
Rosenberg dismissed my request—commenting that only extremist advocates of the economic status quo could say anything positive about the lacrosse players. He added that he had no regrets about signing the Group of 88’s statement. (Its author, Wahneema Lubiano, told ESPN Magazine that signatories were fully aware that “some would see the ad as a stake through the collective heart of the lacrosse team.”) Rosenberg concluded by breathtakingly asserting that he and the other signatories believed that Nifong was motivated not by the pursuit of justice but by the looming Democratic primary for district attorney. Even with this knowledge, he signed the statement and publicly condemned his former student.
I wouldn't consider letting any child of mine attend that school after that.
In his column for the week of August 24-30, 2006, Cash Michaels wondered, SHOULD BLACKS TRUST D.A. MIKE NIFONG?
The answer is "NO," Cash, my friend, and you know it. We know it. The whole nation now knows it. And it's high time you shouted it to your core constituency, including the African American voters of Durham County.
Some African American commentators have known it for a lot longer.
