BET Poll:
By BET.com News Staff
Posted Oct. 23, 2006 – Over the past several days, new questions have surfaced about the credibility of the dancer who accused members of the Duke University Lacrosse Team of raping her. Three former teammates professed their innocence to CBS’s “60 Minutes,” while a second dancer suggested the alleged victim had lied.
Last week, we asked, "In light of the investigation by '60 Minutes,' what should be the impact of this new report?"
And here's how you voted:
About 41 percent of you said, "The Duke alleged rape case should be further investigated."
About 33 percent of you said, "The Duke alleged rape case should be dropped because of lack of evidence."
About 26 percent of you said, "The Duke alleged rape case should continue to trial."
I don't get the difference between
"The Duke alleged rape case should be further investigated."
and
"The Duke alleged rape case should continue to trial."
That being said, it's semi-encouraging that one third of the readership of BET's (unscientific) poll has come to the conclusion "The Duke alleged rape case should be dropped because of lack of evidence."
