I have a hunch that much of what we see going on with regard to Durham and Duke is not unique. The rape hoax itself of course is new, but it shows what can come from this toxic background. I don't think we at FR really understood the level of corruption we were dealing with until well into the story.

Actually what is different is that there may be an opportunity to retake Duke from the lefists or at least make the playing field more equal. Whenever such opportunities arise at any university, we should avail ourselves of this. Or from the other perspective, if the leftists at Duke get away with throwing some of their students under the bus because of their sex and race, what will ever check them.

I am less concerned with Durham. I think we have a duty to stand up and stop the railroading of outsiders any place in the US. I think if Durham wants to clean up it should clean itself up. College matter because opinions from college spread throughout the country.

State law in NC is really a big problem that has allowed this hoax to go on. Prosecutors have so much power there that they don't have in other states.

The discovery statutes have only recently been changed to allow for open discovery. I can't imagine how prosecutors got away with that for all those years.
They don't have a speedy trial statute. In California a defendant has a statutory right to go to trial within 60 days. In NC they have this ridiculous case management system where the prosecutor can really control the pace of the case and when it goes to trial. Since they have that power it's easy for them to get the judge of their choice.

The law in NC greatly favors prosecutors. They can get away with alot.
