Much ADuke About Nothing

Almost a year ago now, I blogged on what seemed to me an all too hasty rush to judgment against the Duke Lacrosse Players. Following several months of investigations, many changed stories and a few outrageous lies by a prosecutor, I blogged again on what appeared to be mounting evidence of their innocence.

Now, I don't think this needs anything more than one last follow up and a warning: Be slow in your rush to judgment. In today's ultra saturated media climate, it's easy to think because some reporter said it or some newspaper printed it, it's true. This is a real good case of a sports program, a university and several innocent individuals being dragged through the mud with no good reason whatsoever.
