A Duke University report mentions your hero, captain Evans, who rented the house of sin. You said he virtuously did not have three beers that day -—
From the report — “Bad alcohol-related behavior seems to be reinforced rather than mitigated by the group. Responsible senior leadership on the part of team captains [Evans] seems to have been too often missing. Despite repeated and stern warnings from their coach and his imposition of significant punishments for unacceptable behavior, this behavior continued.”
“the house of sin”
Well, if that’s a “house of sin”, what do you call the house rented by a black frat for an off-campus party in January, 2007 (while the Duke case was still going on), at which black athletes were present; and at which a white Duke student was dragged into the bathroom and raped (by a non-student)?
(An actual crime occurred there.)
Police found drugs and a gun at the house (no guns or drugs at the Buchanan st. house).
Which coaches were fired over this? Which teams had their seasons cancelled? When did Brodhead say, “Whatever they did was bad enough?” about this case?
While on bond—1/8 of the bond originally fixed for the lacrosse players—the rapist raped yet another woman. No wanted posters were issued for him and he remained at large for months.
Finally he agreed to a plea bargain which would get him a possibility of a little over two years plus time served for
committing two rapes.
That’s the difference in treatment between being a white Duke student accused of a crime in which DNA proves your innocence even before you’re arrested; and being accused of the same crime when you are poor and black.
