Lacrosse lawyer wants apology for poster (Duke)
Durham Herald-Sun ^ | June 15, 2006 | John Stevenson

Posted on 06/16/2006 8:21:15 AM PDT by zaxxon

Lawyer Alex Charns unleashed a second salvo this week in what he calls his "poster war," demanding a public police apology for a March placard that sought help in solving the Duke University lacrosse rape case.

Charns, representing one of the unindicted players, also reiterated an earlier request that the Durham Police Department launch an internal investigation into the situation.

Police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said the department had no immediate comment.

According to Charns, the poster libeled 46 lacrosse players before the district attorney acknowledged he had sufficient evidence to prosecute only three for the alleged rape of an exotic dancer during an off-campus party at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. in mid-March.

The poster said the accuser "was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed. This horrific crime sent shock waves throughout our community."

If any of the freepers wanted to assemble a little get-together I'd be more than willing to don the Benson apparel and play a butler for a while. I'm humble and here to serve. ^_^

If they were my boys, I'd feel the need to fight this all the way through, now, to get a complete exoneration.

I wouldn't wish this nightmare on anyone, but once in it, I'd want to go all the way through it!

Talk about a wake-up call. How many students are risking their futures because of politics in the towns where their potential univeristies are located???

A jury intimidated by the New Black Panthers is not a safe bet.

Remember when Johnny Cockroach brought in the Nation of Islam members in their bowties......standing there in the Courtroom. Sending a message to the jurors.

There will never be a trial in Durham, and likely not one elsewhere.

If there was that much blatant intimidation of the jury, isn't that appealable?

I get your point that in these circumstances, common sense and truth may not count for much, but still....

From your lips....

That's why I'll need the lazy boy, to watch this unfold in the fall.

And to watch the landscaping process thanks to the Bobcat. ;-)

Just read on Drudge that a small earthquake just hit North Carolina -- you don't think my comments about standing before the Lord with this lousy injustice of a case -- no, surely not. :-)

This case must be dismissed before it ever gets to trial.

There is no hope for justice with the cast of characters involved behind the scenes.

Much too much at stake. I suspect even the girl's family is intimidated by certain race hustlers.

My sister-in-law is in Cary. Not too far, right. I'll hang with y'all and be happy to do the dishes. Anybody want to watch my 2 year old? Mr. RecallMoran can be the designated driver (again).

In other words, the campaign manager is the third prostitute involved in this story.

Hardly there are:

1. Mangum

2. Pittman [aka Roberts]

3. Nifong

4-100. Various MSM talking heads, analysts and reporters.

101. The Durham city manager.

102. Then maybe Nifong's campaign manager.

I'm going to have an OPEN HOUSE for all of you all and we'll charter a bus to the defamation trial. What a way to spend the summer, eh?

Cool!! I'll hire the strippers and buy the keg.

Until we move to stop black on white crime we are going to have this kind of treatment increasingly.

Only the hispanics may not turn the other cheek.
