Durham, N.C. -- The state chapter of the NAACP on Thursday called on those involved with the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case from defense attorneys to state bar officials to stop talking publicly while the state attorney general's office begins its review.
"We sincerely believe that the high level of public scrutiny and controversy involved in this matter is unwarranted and threatens to pervert the truth-finding process," said the Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
No parties involved in the case have indicated whether they plan to stop speaking publicly.
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, under heavy criticism for his handling of the case, asked the attorney general's office this month to take over the prosecution a decision Barber said his organization applauded.
Until turning the case over to state prosecutors, Nifong led the investigation into allegations that a 28-year-old black student at North Carolina Central University, hired to perform as a stripper, was raped and beaten by three white men at a March 13 party thrown by Duke's highly ranked lacrosse team.

They want a fair probe, with no outside influence but their own.
They sure do not. They want those white boys to pay for something even if they did not do anything.
The NAACP has been so very, very fair. What a great track record at the beginning of this fraud. No calls to drop the obvious frame-up indictments I see. Yes, so exceedingly fair.
This, from the creep who organized thugs to march on the Duke campus demanding jail for the innocent Lacrosse dudes! Everything Ann Coulter says about liberal deceit and evil is true.
Well sure the NAACP wants everyone to stop talking about this case. It makes all the race pimps look like just what they are - hysterics with no regard for facts.
A "fair" probe? Is this like the "fairness" doctrine?
I didnt hear them saying this, when the story made the duke players look bad. I wonder why hmmmmmmmmmmmm
"'Specially since it looks like dat ho wuz talkin' outta her a$$ and them crackers is gon' walk raht on outta dere." He added under his breath.
"Durham, N.C. -- The state chapter of the NAACP on Thursday called on those involved with the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case from defense attorneys to state bar officials to stop talking publicly while the state attorney general's office begins its review."
I wonder what they were calling for when the lynch mobs were protesting in the streets?
Does anyone besides me think that the NAACP is doing more to spread racism than the KKK in the current times?
Fair meaning convict those guys regardless if they're innocent .... it's the acusation that counts, not the evidence .....
Interesting, since up to now the high level of public scrutiny and controversy involved has been the only thing preventing the pervision of the truth-finding process.
Bad time to use the term, "White-wash?"
Now that the case against the white boys is falling apart and the creds of the accuser are in strong question
the heretofore accusatory NAACP is asking for a fair hearing?
If they were serious in their ideas of fair, it should have been voiced long ago.
In their mind, guilty until proven innocent is the norm for any suggested white on black crime.
Thankfully, the families have been heard.
Exactly. Banging pots and pans!
