Of course, eveyone's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. However, if either of those guys tried to pick me up in a bar, I'd run in another direction. They remind me of Hoyt from "I Am Charlotte Simmons".

You're not the only poster to quote that movie. Maybe I should try and rent it, because I've never seen it. As for your comments, to me they look like the box boys at my local supermarket.

Appearances can be deceiving. I would hate to be on a jury where the case has already been tried in the media.

I am Charlotte Simmons is not a movie, it is a book by Tom Wolfe. I am not sure if it even out in paperback yet.

Tom Wolfe book that came out about around a year and a half ago about the excesses of college lives. Charlotte Simmons is the a country girl who goes to college and basically caves into peer pressure. Hoyt is a hotshot frat boy who basically uses her to get what he wants.

It's kind of timely when discussing the Duke Lacrosse case, because Tom Wolfe based Dupont University on Duke (ie elite university with a famous basketball team). It's a good book (very graphic sex scenes though), and it does a nice job discussing the excesses of college life. It got "lukewarm" reviews, because it points out some ugly realities about college life.
