I'm very disturbed about this; I just called the governor's offic.

I told her that I was a resident of Raleigh and that I belonged to several web sites where this case was being discussed and maybe the governor ought to know that people are talking about not coming to NC and not even thinking about sending their kids to school here.

I would not send my child to Duke and have a relative who is relieved their child selected another school.

Good job Howlin.

I wonder if they would even care if an "outsider" from the northeast called to complain?

We are moving to the area as soon as we resolve some issues over the foundation of our house and can sell. We were considering western NC or eastern TN - Smokey Mountains/Cherokee. We now have no intention of living in a place with such a screwed up criminal justice system and such flagrant denial of civil rights and due process. One doesn't have to do ANYTHING to get caught up in the Kafkaesque criminal justice system there. It is a NIGHTMARE!!

We will become volunteers, NOT tar-heelers!
