My major gripe is that Duke's own report showed the administration was at fault for not notifying Coach Pressler of disciplinary problems with the team. Coach Pressler addressed the problems he knew about. So why do those anonymous administrators get to keep their jobs while Pressler is hung out to dry?
Or daddies
Well I'm still forulating my reply but it's going to be along the lines of "Actions speak louder than words".
I watch those idiot shows occasionally. Morrey?? And I must say that the majority of these women (90%) are black or a mix. These chicks wanta know who the father is for sure. Sometimes they say it could be as many as 6 different dudes. (Varies).
Wonder how much Morrey pays these people to appear? You know darn well that unless there's some good bucks involved, they wouldn't be there.
Well I am sure they are paid. But many of them do it just to get on tv. Plus there is the whole "Baby Daddy" culture. I don't know who these kid's daddy is. But it has been said it isn't her ex-husband.
Well yeah he's dragging this out. He's defying the Constitutional protections regarding speedy trials. Next spring? BS! He doesn't have anything, and that is the reason for a big ol' paper dump. If there is any justice left in the world, those four players will own Durham when this is finally over.
As for the accuser, her lifestyle will kill her. She should be punished appropriately, but I don't think that's going to happen.
A poster on the CourtTV board says all the major cable networks will be carry this beginning at 3:00 pm.
Oh please. Oscar Mayer couldn't mass produce that much baloney. All he cared about was political correctness & pandering to certain factions in the community. He couldn't throw these boys (as well as the coach) under the bus fast enough. Broadhead will be a dark cloud hanging over Duke University as long as he is president.
The reason is simple... The SANE nurse is a material witness, whose identity is currently unknown to the defense. This individual's conclusions have been used to justify this witch hunt, but the person is not now subject to questioning.
If the prosecution wants to have this nurse as an "expert witness", then the defense gets to know who they are - if only because the person's identity will reveal the experience and expertise they do or do not hold.
Ah, but this is evidently a MALE nurse, which means it may be someone other than the "expert" cited by the prosecution (which means my original statements were bad - mea culpa).
This whole thing is confusing to me, in some respects. It is becoming more and more evident that the DA is working hard to maintain that veil of confusion in the public and in the defense - despite the legal requirement to turn over his friggin info!
Regarding Brodhead and his pattern of behavior re: accused innocents, here are 2 articles that should enlighten anyone. "Forget the Facts", is the 1st link in the article. Be sure to read it...it's is specifically about Brodhead.
3:00 pm? I'm on pacific time, so maybe that would be noon my time? I'd like to check it out.
It looks like the N&O has sent the AA reporterette Samiha Khanna, whose byline was on all the pro-accuser, anti-player early articles, to the dugout and turned the ball over to Joseph Neff, whose reporting sticks close to the known facts.
I think the N&O realizes they crossed the line in some of their editorial decisions, and may very well find themselves among those eventually facing civil suits.
That would be 6pm Pacific time, wouldn't it?
The NandO blogs are absolutely must read. It HAS to be a hell of culture shock for an Editor (whose word was LAW in the newsroom) to be questioned by readers like this...
I love it...
Some curly haired male Nifong mouthpiece from Durham said Nifong doesn't have to reveal his witness list till trial.
I thought it was Sgt. Shelton she finally refused to speak to when he tired of her changing stories at DMC.
