Are you saying you are convinced of their guilt without trial?

Duke Itself can be sued to the MOON!

I'm guessing some administrators are quaking in their overpaid loafers about right now!

They could start by suing the Raleigh News & Observer, which published the photographs and names of every player right next to very inflammatory articles suggesting guilt and general bad behavior by the team.

It is likely that the News and Observer has already contaminated this case and permitted Mangum to pick out one of these kids to identify for her false charges.

Oh, Lord! Missed that conference. Good thing, because the scene you describe would have made my blood boil.

The media has now become THE outlet for nutcases. And both the media and the nutcases eat it up.

True, reminds one of the Puritian Salem witch hunts.

BTW, WRAL has a online poll going about whether the DA should proceed...please skew accordingly (right hand side)

Oh, that was NOTHING, believe me.

That very same lady screamed at the DA that she wanted to know exactly WHO carried the DNA samples from the SANE nurse to the Durham Police Department because they had OBVIOUSLY tampered with it.

She also said that the girl, since she was black and since she was accusing Duke players (never mind she didn't name anybody for 31 hours) should have been HELICOPTORED to any other hospital, other than Duke Medical Center because Duke was probably involved in covering up for the boys.

When the DA tried to say that Duke was a fine medical facility, the crowd BOOED!

It was A M A Z I N G.

Sure you can.

It's called defamation of character.

And it won't be hard to prove it's PC driven.

Yes ... With the "Sign of Lacrosse," even.

Sorry. Long day.

You can sue them for defamation of the players without a trial or even a complete investigation, firing the coach, and disbanding the team. You BET you can!

And what are the odds that Mangum had insurance that will foot the bill for her visit to the Emergency Room at Duke Hospital? Nada.

So Duke's reward for trying to help this pathological liar will be to get stiffed in addition to trashed in the media and probably eventually sued.

what the rules are about providing pictures of people to her to help her memory.

If it was only last week, after the huge media circus erupted, that she first identified anyone, then it need not be the DA's office or the police who coached her - her boyfriend, friends, local race hustlers, anyone - could have shown her pictures identifying the names and faces of the lacrosse team, telling her which ones were captains and which ones were living in the house.

No, but you seem to be aquitting them without trial.
