LaShawn has been hot on the Duke Phony Rape Case since the beginning. It smelled, from the beginning. But the 60 Minutes segment (which I missed - I do not watch much - or any - TV) put the nail in the coffin of this canard.
We know politics: "Careers are at stake." Prosecutorial powers are terrifying when in the hands of those who seek not justice, but "success."

I hereby pronounce the three lacrosse players as fully guilty of the crime of being adolescent white jerks. Now go in peace, with the heartfelt apologies from all of us that you got caught up in a political cesspool, and, in the future, just go to strip clubs for this kind of foolish titillating fun, where you cannot be caught up in this sort of disgusting mess.
