There will be other stories; there always is when a renegade like Gottlieb is involved -- he can't help himself. The September 22 hearing will be fascinating since Gottlieb conducted the line up. There may be a suppression hearing on the photo ID and, if so, Gottlieb will be forced to testify. I find it interesting that the dossiers mentioned in the article were collected before the LAX case broke, meaning that people knew he was out of control and did nothing to reign him in. Because some students chose to go to trial to fight bogus charges, the Duke administration cannot claim ignorance of this situation. As an aside, I'd love to ask Brodhead what did he know and when did he know it.

The ironic part is this is nothing new. When we went to Duke twenty years ago, students knew not to roam into Durham after dark because we did not know the dangerous areas and even then the local police had a reputation for roughing up Duke students. In my humble opinion, Gottlieb and Nifong had been pulling these stunts of treating Duke students like yesterday's garbage for years with impunity, only this time they took it way over the top.

remember too.....Duke students have money and don't want any prolonged court proceedings.....thus, its easy money for the local district....

just like all the "emphasize" patrols that the police and sheriff depts do.......

its more about how much money they can bring in thru tickets than actually preventing road mishaps......
