Do they issue interim suspensions when professors are charged with felonies??
I wonder what part of presumed innocent they don't understand?
I'm having very unkind thoughts about Duke right now.
The police took pictures of them within days; if there had been scratches on them, they would have been arrested on the spot.
I missed your post last night; that is VERY VERY funny!
These days, fraternization is a big no-no. However, I think these days, both the professor and the student should be disciplined for these reasons :
1. The teacher should be disciplined/fired for abusing his/her authority.
2. The student, if doing this with consent, should be disciplined/expelled based on academic dishonesty.
Would you discipline the student for academic dishonesty (which can result in the student being expelled) if they had a consentul sexual relationship with their professor and they got preferential treatment (like they slept with the professor and got an A)? To me, that is a clear case of academic dishonesty...it's no different than cheating on an exam.
You are right. I misread the last line in that post, and was recalling how the media trashed the young lady's reputation in their defence of the Basketball bozo.
2 Duke coeds interviewed on Fox....handing out "Innocent" T-shirts. Mentioned that what a coincidence "dancer" ID'd 2 of the most affluent guys on the team. Banners hanging from dorms in support of the guys.
Thank you, maggie
How convienient that the DA doesn't have a timeline....
Thanks maggie....
What a wonderful graphic! Thanks so much for that.
Finnerty's attorney speaks out to FNC for first time now.
Finnerty's attorney, William Cotter:
Not going to discuss evidence now. I've never been a DA or assistant DA so I won't tell anyone how to do their job (with regard to DA).
Q: How will you defend your client?
A: We plead not guilty and both sides will be heard and we'll present evidence.
?: Can you prove your client wasn't in the house that night?
A: I'm not going to discuss this.
SO WHY IS HE EVEN ON TELEVISION? Stupid.
ROTFL
$$$$
;)
This is the most useless interview I've seen in a long time. Anything FNC paid this guy was too much.
Thank You Maggie--however--the pictures show Reade at the party--He must have left early.
I'd hire this attorney in a heartbeat...
>>Mr. Seligmann and Mr. Finnerty were apparently suspended from Duke on Tuesday, two weeks before final exams. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, issued a statement saying that the university issues interim suspensions when students are charged with felonies but that he could not discuss the case further because of a student privacy law. <<
Just to add insult to injury. I hope that the DA gets his A$$ handed to him, and then gets sued....I'm steaming mad!!!
I'm not saying he's a bad attorney. I'm saying that the interview is worthless and shouldn't have been made unless he has something to say besides his client is innocent.
Reade Seligmann timeline:
midnight and at 12:02 a.m. girls dancing
??? phone bill records reviewed by ABC show that the defendant's cell phone made at least two outgoing calls.
12:19 a.m. ABC News traced the steps of Seligmann's story, timing how long it took to get from place to place. In repeated trials, the drive between the Wachovia branch and the corner where the cab picked him up took approximately five minutes.
12:24 a.m., a receipt reviewed by ABC indicates that Seligmann's ATM card was used at a nearby Wachovia bank. The taxi driver remembers taking him to a drive-thru fast-food restaurant and then dropping him off at his dorm.
12:25 a.m., he was making a phone call to a girlfriend out of state.
12:46 a.m. Duke University records show that Seligmann's card was used to gain entry
