Then, just last month, the director of a DNA laboratory that tested samples taken from the woman testified that he and the prosecutor had agreed in May to withhold some of the findings. The exculpatory nature of the results - specifically, that the swabs included traces of semen from several men, none of them the Duke defendants - offer the strongest evidence yet that the prosecutor himself should be the subject of an investigation, and that he should have no further connection with this case.

I'm lovin' a paper trail. Some of the stuff on the video isn't really "new developments". We've known from the beginning that her descriptions didn't match the boys. Scary that some people still get all their news from TV.
So Bremner can make excuses for a child molester but condemns the boys. You can't make it up.
Skeletor is never going to stop drinking the koolaid.

We can't thank him enough

Mayor Bill Bell knows a good thing when he sees it. Monday morning, in his State of the City address, Bell saw fit to recognize police Cpl. David Addison.
Addison, the coordinator of Durham's CrimeStoppers, was voted the best in North Carolina last year. As soon as he started searching for our area's serious lawbreakers 17 months ago, the program's arrest rate shot up.
The 36-year-old resembles a one-man crime-fighting machine. This guy is everywhere, humming along in overdrive. I call his ever-enthusiastic approach "The Addison Attitude." All of local government should try adopting it.
At Monday's function, Bell said simply: "David, on behalf of Durham, thank you." The crowd applauded. But Addison was humbled at the gathering, and equally modest when I tracked him down later while he was tracking down criminals.
"I'm chasing some leads near the old South Square," Addison told me. "It is an honor to be recognized. But no one person does it alone. I'm a catalyst. Without all the help I get from citizens, fellow law enforcement officers and the department, my efforts would be in vain."
Still, who makes up the CrimeStoppers staff?
"It's just me," he acknowledged. ...

Thanks for the heads up - I will definitely be watching!!

I would like to think that most University presidents would have read with deep shame pages 16 through 18 of the defense change-of-venue motion. To my knowledge, these pages represented a first in the history of modern American criminal law: the behavior and statements of an institution's faculty were cited as one of the principal reasons for which students of that institution could not receive a fair trial.

There are well over 100 replies now. Little Dick Brodhead is getting righteously hammered.
Luckily for us, Colmes is still on vacation this week :)
They scatter like cockroaches when you turn on the kitchen light.
Fact is, we've got cockroaches, and we'll never get rid of them.
Was the part about the search warrants in the earlier article(sorry if so)

Police Still Investigating NCCU Student's Shooting Death
Posted: Today at 10:53 a.m.
Updated: 41 minutes ago
Durham — More details have emerged in the investigation into the death of a North Carolina Central University student.
WRAL has learned through sources that search warrants were served Monday in Greensboro regarding the shooting death of Denita Monique Smith, but a Durham Police Department spokesperson would not confirm that.
Authorities said Smith, 25, a graduate student from Charlotte, was shot inside a stairwell of the Campus Crossing Apartments Thursday morning and then fell down several steps to the sidewalk.
A maintenance worker at the apartment complex found her body.
Durham police did say Monday, however, that they talked to a woman Friday who witnesses saw driving away from the apartment complex in a burgundy Ford Explorer less than two hours before Smith's body was found.
Police still have not named any suspects in the case.
Anyone with information about the case should contact the Durham Police Department at 919-560-4440 or Durham CrimeStoppers at 919-683-1200.
At N.C. Central, students returning from winter break were trying to understand what happened.
"I just broke down and cried and said, 'Not my Denita, not my Denita,'" said Rony Camille, editor of N.C. Central's student newspaper, The Campus Echo, for which Smith was a longtime staff member
A tribute to her life was published in Monday's online edition Monday and will be published in the print edition later this week.
"I really was shocked, because this is family," Camille said.
University officials said Smith received a bachelor's degree in English from N.C. Central and had planned to wrap up her thesis this semester. She was also engaged to a Greensboro police officer.
A memorial service for Smith is scheduled at 10:50 a.m. Tuesday at B.N. Duke Auditorium at N.C. Central. Her funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday at University Park Baptist Church in Charlotte.

In the late 1950s, the Vanderbilt Divinity School became something of a hotbed of the emerging Civil Rights movement, and the university expelled one of its leaders, James Lawson. Much later, in 2005, he was made a Distinguished Alumnus for his achievements and re-hired as a Distinguished University Professor for the 2006-07 academic year. [1]
As with Lawson, the university drew national attention in 1966, when it recruited the first African American athlete in the Southeastern Conference, Perry Wallace. Wallace, from Nashville, played varsity basketball for Vanderbilt from 1967-1970, and faced considerable opposition from segregationists when playing at other SEC venues. In 2004, a student-led drive to have Wallace's jersey retired finally succeeded. Harold Vanderbilt was chairman of the Board of Trust between 1955 and 1968 when racial integration was a very prominent topic at the school. Today a statue of him in front of Buttrick Hall memoralizes his efforts.
In 1966, Oberlin Graduate School of Theology moved from Ohio to Nashville, in order to merge with the Vanderbilt Divinity School. In 1979, Vanderbilt absorbed its neighbor Peabody College.
Memorial Hall, located on the Peabody campus, was the subject of a lawsuit to remove the word "Confederate" from its facade.History, race, and civil rights issues again came to the fore on the campus in 2002, when the university decided to rename a dormitory on the Peabody campus, Confederate Memorial Hall, to Memorial Hall. Nationwide attention resulted, in part due to a lawsuit by the Tennessee chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, who had helped pay for the building's construction in 1933 with a $50,000 contribution.
The Davidson County Chancery Court dismissed the lawsuit in 2003, but the Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled in May 2005 that the university would have to pay damages based on the present value of the United Daughters of the Confederacy's contribution if an inscription bearing the name "Confederate Memorial Hall" were to be removed from the building or altered.
In late July of 2005, the university announced that although it has officially renamed the building and all university publications and offices will refer to it solely as "Memorial Hall," the university would neither appeal the matter further nor remove the inscription and pay damages.***
As I said, the bio of Cornelius Vanderbilt was an interesting story:
***
In 1818, he turned his attention to steamships. The New York legislature had granted Robert Fulton and Robert Livingston a thirty-year legal monopoly on steamboat traffic. That is, competition was forbidden by law. Working for Thomas Gibbons, Vanderbilt undercut the prices charged by Fulton and Livingston for service between New Brunswick, New Jersey, and Manhattan—an important link in trade between New York and Philadelphia.
He avoided capture by those who sought to arrest him and impound the ship. Livingston and Fulton offered Vanderbilt a lucrative job piloting their steamboat, but Vanderbilt rejected the offer. He said "I don't care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead." For Vanderbilt, the point was the superiority of free competition and the evil of government-granted monopoly.[1] Livingston and Fulton sued; the case went before the United States Supreme Court and ultimately broke the Fulton-Livingston monopoly on trade.***
I wonder what Cornelius would have had to say about Race/Gender Quotas, and... Nifong and the 88.
I wonder what he thinks of his great grandson whimpering 24/7 on CNN.
One MIGHT think some of the "pots and pans" types would recommend a lovely "anger management course" for Prof Baker.
"Keep God First!" Amen, Denita.
His Grandson? Who's that?
Someone posted this one at LS

A childhood friend wrote it. It starts right below the picture.
Did I miss the interview with Reade Seligmann on Hannity???
Honest, when you said "grandson on CNN".. the Ferret Major was my first thought....
Well, then.. heheh. Maybe Grandson ain't so different from granddad:

Ruthless in business, Cornelius Vanderbilt was said by some to have made few friends in his lifetime but many enemies. His public perception was that of a vulgar, mean-spirited man who made life miserable for everyone around him, including his family.
He often said that women bought his stock because his picture was on the stock certificate.
He's Gloria Vanderbilt's son.
I knew that would kill you..........LOL.
