Until now, I didn't think of Durham when I thought of corruption. No wonder they don't want to give these boys a speedy trial.

I went to college in Va. [Richmond] many years ago. I had a high school friend who went to Duke. I went down to see him many times. I lived in the Durham area right after graduation for about 6 months.

I did not view Durham as particularly corrupt back then. After grad school I lived in Baton Rouge and New Orleans in a very corupt state. I now live outside a town that has had its corruption issues. I worked in politics at one time in some not so corrupt areas and in some very corrupt areas. This case has in my mind moved Durham way way up the corruption list. And it does not have any redeeming tourist or visitor values like some of the corrupt big cities in the US.
