Duke Lacrosse Shenanigans Revisited
All apologies for the untimely delay in relaying this now long forgotten and what I fear has become old news update to you.
Please forgive the infraction and accept this final update as a token of my sorrow for dropping off the face of the planet for a while. I will try my hardest to not let it happen again.
There are really two posts that should have followed my last one on this issue. The first one is here, and the basic gist is that the DNA that was taken from the semen left behind on the 'alleged victim' did not match the DNA of any one of the Duke Lacrosse players.
The second post would have been here, and it would have been the finale because as you will see, the case was closed. Yes the legal proceedings were long and drawn out as they usually are in this wonderful legal system that we employ in this country, but in the end justice prevailed and the Duke Lacrosse team ultimately only suffered a little sullying of the reputation.
They are up and running now and all is well.

Well at least you have the integrity to mention it, unlike the lynchmob bloggers who ran and hid from the story when it didn't go the way they wanted it. (BUT, actually, those guys and their families went through a LOT more than you indicate. Imagine having your family's names and homes given out to hate groups like the New Black Panthers?) Hence the multi-million dollar lawsuits against Duke and Durham, which are coming to a head now.
And don't leave out the outstanding fact that the D.A. himself went to jail (the guy who has given us the term "Nifonged")
