It will be interesting how the case management
system controlled by the DA plays out on this one.
You are correct, the Quad families had a long wait
while police may have tried their best to catch the perps.
That pesky evidence and credibility thing seems to
hold the authorities back, except in the Duke case.
Other Quad perps are still on the loose. There is plenty
of outrage and it comes from the AA communities themselves.
They have been complaining for years to their special
sample ballot leaders. Guess poor blacks do not have
much leverage over Howard and Bill.
Yes, better editorials can be writtten, but I doubt many
people have read them in years. Same for the N&O.
The HS is getting thinner and thinner, as the N&O gets
thicker with the ads. I see a complete buyout/merger
in the future. Then there will be only one lousy rag to
keep up with.
"Gray was only the driver, Thomas said. He was an NCCU
student with a once-bright future."
The promising Central student defense seems to
work well in this town. Now what are the chances
everyone in the Duke case comes to their collective
senses on Dec. 15th and gets rid of the farce?
One would think the mayor and his cronies at the
NAACP have exacted enough flesh by now. It would
be their last chance, before the big boys come
crashing down on them. Durham and Duke really
need to get on with fixing their problems, instead
of creating new ones.
"Frankly, I think the only people in Durham who give a damn about such terrible crimes are the victims and their families and a handful of resident conservatives who actually have a social conscious."
Then what was all that talk about supporting Nifong because overall he was such a good DA, and you couldn't judge him by just one case?
If he was such a good DA, would things like this be happening? Would the whole Durham justice system run
like it is traffic court, only with bigger payoffs?
If the community thought he was such a good DA, so that they elected him TWICE, even after all the facts of the Duke hoax were in, then they are getting what they deserve.
I think the "special" designation has take this out of the "case management" system.
