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."

Durham Govt officials and their police force are rapidly approaching 3rd World status.

I'm with you! I am not a fan of suit-filers in general, but these young men sure do deserve something for what they have been through. Too bad they can't take it out of the district attorney's hide!

Not just the black community...Can you imagine how all the liberals from Asheville to Wilmington are going to feel? And the distrust is not just going to be the law enforcement, it will apply to all the drive-by Press!

I'm on my way out the door but had FNC on the other night earlier in the week and Sean said "More coming up later in the week about threatening (and I think he said obscene) hand gestures and faces that Nifong has been making".

That's all he said and I've never heard another word about it.

Did you guys get flooded when Alfredo (sic) came through?

Duke LaCrosse players guilty until proven innocent.

Marines in chains and solitary, guilty until proven innocent.

Have the Durham authorities and Marine leadership been talking again?

I will surely rot in hell for saying this, but they are

GONE!!

I love them for coming, but this morning is the first time I have been by myself since May 16th at 3:30 p.m.! I am not kidding.

I need MY TIME and MY FR.

The reason they stayed an extra day is that, would you believe, just that morning, they took their car to be serviced at one of the dealerships downtown where the flooding happened! GRRRRR...........

we'll charter a bus to the defamation trial.

Make sure to reserve a seat for a lawyer and another one for a bail bondsman, or for a sack of your own cash that you can do without for a year or two. You want an example of "trumped up charges" and "abuse of process"? Be an out-of-stater in Durham making a lot of noise about this case.

It'd be fun, but honest to God I don't think I'll even be visiting relatives in NC any more now that I've seen what kind of legal system they have there.

As other attornies have stated. Not unusual for the adversaries to have heated comments to each other.

Hannity likes to pretend he has inside information that he can hype.

Reading today tho, that the campaign manager for NIFOG has jumped ship to the opponent who is mounting a write in campaign against NIFOG!
