Duke Rape Case Begins to Fall Apart
LaShawn Barber has a great post on the Duke University Lacrosse rape case which she appropriately called, The Black Helen of Troy. (For more concise information on the rape/seduction of Helen of Troy look here) According to one of the commenter, a father of one of the boys, the DA has no case. Turns out one of the main players accused of the rape was in New York City at the time. Considering the number of interviews the DA has given since the case became public, it sure looks like he is trying to curry favor with black voters. Looks bad for the DA.
Can anyone say Tawana Brawley? The DA has no case: no DNA evidence, no collaborating evidence, no witness, no testimony. Check that. There was DNA evidence, it just did not belong to any of the 46 white Duke Lacrosse players. The some can point out that if the players did not rape her, they will most likely be exonerated. But what about the players good names. They have been tried in the press and by an ambitious politican who hopes a conviction will win him an election. Win at all costs, even if you have to falsely destroy somebody to do it. Despicable conduct on the part of a politican.
If it turns out the stripper was not raped and the Duke players were falsely accused, she should be charged with a felony, not the usual misdemeanor. In this case, she should go to jail.
