They need to investigate every single person in the Durham Police Department.
I cannot wait to read the papers the AG is going to release on Tuesday.
And I wonder if we’ll ever get a look at the TWO THOUSAND sealed pages in this girl’s medical file. That should have been a red flag right there.
And the DA's office. And City Hall.
Maybe we'll find out why Crystal is never prosecuted for her felonious behavior.
There would be if we had a Department of Justice.
The police investigate and gather evidence. They do not decide whether to press charges or what charges to bring. I haven't seen serious police misconduct in this case, though they may have been to quick to go public.
I put the blame squarely on Nifong's shoulders, trickling down to the race hustlers who flocked to the case, the pundits who took up the cause (most notably Nancy Grace, who has never in her life seen an innocent suspect), and let's not spare the 88 Duke professors who were hasty to jump on the bandwagon.
The school administration itself, I'm not sure about. Criminal charges aside, the lacrosse team had a wild party with underage drinking and strippers on school property, one that landed the school on the front page of the paper. If it had been a fraternity rather than a sports team that had done that, they would likely have been kicked off campus for the rest of the year. Suspending students during a pending criminal investigation also doesn't strike me as particularly outrageous.
