“We jumped all over this guy like the Ethnic Studies profs at Duke jumped all over the Duke lacrosse team. “
Hardly an apt comparison. We literally “jumped all over this guy” because he left his stuff in the hotel room and boarded a flight back to France — which has a history of never extraditing criminals. They barely got there in time to drag him off the plane.
Some people need jumping.
I am not talking about the police arrest. I am talking about the trial in the press. The authorities knew the next day that there was something a little off about the victim, yet they let the one sided story continue to be pushed by the press. It was selling papers.
I’m wondering if the story about the woman living in an AiDs housing building is true. The way that part of the story was written was always that she lived there, not that she has AIDS.
