There's a reason why Chalmer's has been mum all along in regard to the Duke LAX case. Now he comes to bat for Gottlieb's Duke arrest record. Amazing how the "only" unsubstantiated fact in the Blinco's incident was the racial slur.
There's more here ...
I agree... Personally I think Chalmers' statements are an attempt to maintain Gottlieb's street cred... If a black official comes out in support of Gottlieb then it gives permission to the black jurors to view him as less of a white devil than otherwise...
This case has been all along a race case right out of the Jesse Jackson shake down mold. Go after those with the most money, making the most bizarre accusations and hope for the big blackmail payoff.
I find somewhat suspect the claims that a group of liberal raised college students with black teammates present or police officers who work daily within a significantly black population with black peers present, screaming racial epithets. Not out of the question, but somewhat suspect..
