You just knew that the whole Duke Lacrosse v. The Stripper Exotic Dancer was going to start getting nasty at some point (via the AP) DURHAM, N.C. – A woman who claims she was raped by members of Duke University’s lacrosse team was described as “just passed-out drunk” by one of the first police officers […]

Via the Raleigh News and Observer (sickening) A federal judge has ordered North Carolina prison officials to make sure a death row inmate is unconscious and unable to feel pain during his execution — a requirement that has halted executions elsewhere. U.S. District Judge Malcolm J. Howard wants prison officials to tell him by noon […]

You know, because everyone on death row is a good person: A man who was sentenced to die, then freed after prosecutors at his murder trial were shown to have hidden exonerating evidence, was charged Wednesday with having sex with a underage girl who is now pregnant, authorities said. Alan Gell, 31, is charged with […]

Interesting (from WRAL) Defense attorneys for Allegations that three Duke lacrosse athletes raped and beat an exotic dancer at a party last month were the focus of a public prayer service held on the university’s campus Wednesday afternoon. The interfaith vigil cames as the public watches and waits as Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong’s […]

Perhaps the players didn’t do it, and are owed a huge apology: Wade Smith, an attorney for members of the Duke University lacrosse team, announced late Monday afternoon that no DNA samples taken from the 46 athletes matched any DNA on the alleged victim and that he hopes Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong will consider […]

Quite frankly, I am rather disappointed in the coverage of this story. To date, it seems that most have already tried and convicted the players as a whole. Yes, what the woman said was done to her was horrific, if it happened. The players are not being given any part of that great American standard, […]

But, the problem as I see it (or at least one of them), is that the odds of winning are fixed: How long are those odds? Consider this: Six out of every seven tickets will not award a cash prize. Of the relatively few tickets that result in cash winnings, more than half will be […]

I haven’t really touched on this subject, the whole “innocent till proven guilty” thing. Do not want to go off uncocked like the Defeatocrats. But, the investigation into what happened at Duke is getting very serious (as it should) Duke University announced at a press conference this evening that the university’s lacrosse team will not […]

First, who is Jim Black, and why must he go? From Jim Black Must Go: Over the course of the last 12 months, the Speaker clearly has abused his office. Need evidence? Consider this: The Speaker let a registered lobbyist secretly run his office. He appointed a paid representative of one of the companies seeking […]
