I've been out of the loop all day...is that all the news today..other than charges being re-instated to several players?
Although I have been posting a little today, I was out of the loop also. I think that the complaining witnesses's father was on one of the news talk shows earlier but I missed it.
Only one of the players has had the charges re-instated, I think. One of the captains...
I wanna know when Crystal's charges are going to be re-instated to felonies instead of all misdemeanors.....since she was 3 sheets to the wind in the Kroger parking lot.....
((crickets now chirping.....))
The perfect storm of race, class, and sex makes the alleged Duke rape tale perfect fodder for the ‘justice’-obsessed media

Once the sensational Duke University rape case — with its irresistible brew of race, class, and sex — triggered the predictable media circus, an equally predictable chorus of earnest-sounding criticism began to roll in.
“This is gonna end up in the Ringling Brothers Hall of fame,” asserted attorney Avery Friedman as he pontificated about the legal issues on CNN.
“We get high-profile cases on a relatively regular basis,” Court TV anchor Catherine Crier tells the Phoenix. “And each time, the media onslaught is worse than the last.”
A blog called the Maverick Conservative wonders “how we got into this thing of trying cases in the media.... You should not pay any attention to these people either — the media, the lawyers ... etc. It is all noise — often evil noise.”
Despite that plea, members of the blogosphere — like everyone else — have been busy choosing sides since details of this story started emerging in March.
