"Duke AD's Son Charged In Boating Accident To Appear In Court"
So is the AD fired? Are all sports suspended? Is this guy going to get banned from Durham for 6 months?
I'm sorry, but I'm taking no prisoners. When the other side declared what their standards for "justice" were going to be, that's when we decided those same standards should be applied to them.
As of 6:31 last night, per Coldwater regarding the Duke board on CTV:
7/24 Closed For Night
Obviously no news since all posts were basically bashing.
And it's still closed.
I have never seen anything like this. They really want to put a lid on this case ever since the truth started coming out.
CourtTV pretends to offer a service, discussion boards, that they really do not. They close them at a drop of the hat. They are politically moderated which is ok at FreeRepublic or even DemocrateUnderground but CourtTV?
Boards with people of different views are useful to check any pack mentality over here and us fooling ourselves. But there are no credible people in this particular case who believe a rape took place. So the CourtTV boards do not serve that function and the those that claim to believe a rape took placea are just trolls and do not test the beliefs of those who do not believe a rape took place.
Bottom line, the CourtTV boards are useless in this case. So they are best ignored unless you have lots of spare time to wade through trolls.
More important an issue is where is that 17 page motion from Friday?
No need to apologize, I agree with you. :)
I posted the article so we could monitor the judge's decision. Hopefully some news outlet will even identify the judge, though I am not holding my breath.
Melanie Sill at the Raleigh N&O pushed the June 16 entry on Duke Lacrosse into the archives giving the temporary appearance that it had been deleted. It took us a while to figure that out. She then put up a new entry which has 10 comments already. In the new thread I just pasted in a direct link to the old thread.

"Today marks the four-month anniversary of the Raleigh News & Observer’s publication of the story that first identified the Duke Men’s lacrosse team as suspects in a gang-rape investigation. In its story, the N&O repeatedly told readers the woman was “the victim.” It never once used the conditional qualifier “alleged.”
"The N&O’s March 24 story was the first of many biased and inflammatory news stories and columns the N&O produced. They cast the accuser as a victim and framed the lacrosse team as made up of three brutal rapists and their teammates who stood by indifferently while the woman was raped, and then later refused to help police identify their rapist teammates.. . "
HAH! ROTFLMAO!!!!
Crotchman Couch is on there!
Yes, isn't that special? I can't believe no one is even giving the name of the third cop to get moved to admin desk.
I am busy today and I don't have time to keep checking. WTVD
had it on a news crawl, without a name of course.
Also, the Durham newspaper mentions it, but no name there.
Think it may be Himan or someone else they want to keep hidden? How about Chalmers? LOL!
Not to mention CTV ;) but a couple of posters over there have been actively looking for both that 17-page motion and the quasi-gag order.
Why on earth wouldn[t a reporter get those two documents and scan it onto his/her news organization's website? It's like their all trying to keep those public documents from the public!
LOL! Good work, MM!! :>
Who has the tinfoil?
Could DPD be double-dipping?

"Some of Raleigh's men and women in blue also work security at locations such as the Glenwood South entertainment district when they're off-duty. A city ordinance requires some nightclubs to have uniformed security at the door."

Raleigh police on Monday interviewed two Durham police officers involved in the Duke lacrosse rape case as they investigated last week's alleged assault of a cook outside of a Glenwood Avenue sports bar.
The Raleigh Police Department has been conducting their own investigation on this for a while. There is NO DOUBT that the Durham PD officers are doing the same thing. The difference is that the Raleigh officers are working at clubs as night watch, while the Durham PD is working as protection in the sex industry. Just why the press won't say anything blows my mind.
I agree the CourtTV board regulars are very good at finding court documents if they are available. That is another reason when I am following a case, I look over there.
But then I sometimes fall into the trap of wasting time with trolls.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing that. Sadly, there is probably a very ;arge truth to it.
N & O reports says other DPD officers were at Binko's but not involved. Were they drinking or working security?
The N & O will not answere this. It would require probative questions that may shed unfavorable light on the DPD.
The gag order motion is now posted at CTV due to the heroic jmoo who went to the Durham County Courthouse and got it:

Jmoo attended the last hearing and had a chance to ask Cheshire if Gottlieb's report had been handed over. Cheshire said they had just received it, but hadn't had time to read it. Whoever speculated that Gottlieb's report was the 36 pages of new discovery turned over that day was right.
Geez louise ... what the hell do we need MSM for? /rhetorical question
