It was akin to screaming fire in a crowded theatre.
I agree with you.
I think the Duke professors, the Black Panthers, Jesse Jackson, and all other groups who ganged together at the beginning of this case should be sued as a group who acted in concert to ignite the firestorm of rage against these innocent men.
Wishful thinking. Look I'm not defending these crude pricks however you can't go suing people for their opinions. They may be wrong, crass, unintellegent, bias, prejudice, bigoted, but free speech entitles one to their opinion, especially in public. If you can show how the entire legal system was influenced to accuse these boys of guilt, then maybe, but that would be a huge stretch.
