While West has merely invited reporters to come to him, Victoria Peterson, a woman who has long aspired to be a Durham political player, has charged into the fray, appointing herself a spokeswoman and defender.
When cameras gather, Peterson is there, sharply attired in a summer dress and matching hat. Whether anyone with a press pass wants to listen, Peterson is heard.
"Excuse me, we would like to do a press conference if anybody would like to listen to what some of the African-American women of this community have to say," Peterson said as reporters and TV cameras turned to follow a lawyer downstairs after a June hearing.
Three reporters finally stopped and took notes as Peterson talked about rape statistics in Durham.
Peterson, 52, said she is a watchdog, not a publicity hound.

"How do you find the two defendants in this case?" Shabazz shouted.
"Guilty," the crowd shouted back.
About 30 local residents participated, including school board member Jackie Wagstaff and activist Victoria Peterson.
This would be a good point to post on Ruth's or Melanie's blogs to remind them we see it when the NandO forgets full disclosure of who's who...
Good Catch! Black Panthers a registered hate group!
Georgia Goslee was a nobody before she started the Duke AV circuit.
But, how can they leave Kim Roberts "opportunism" out of an article on that subject.
Some of that stuff, as you know, was recycled. I think they put that article together in 30 minutes.
They could've also written an article detailing all the people that are in jail or awaiting trial related to this case.
