Trial by Media

Published Apr 28 2006, 02:43 PM by webteam

Read about why the splashy Duke rape case is a made-for-media blockbuster in "Blue (-Eyed) Devils?" -- this week's "Don't Quote Me" column in the Phoenix.

And here's an AP story reporting that the alleged victim in this case accused three men of rape a decade ago in a case that apparently went nowhere. This is going to be one of those drip, drip, drip trial-by-media events.

Whitey and Pablo?

An Intriguing Suggestion for the Times Co.

Whether or not the charges are false, the desperation felt by the accuser, (appropriately or not)and her supporters is pretty depressing. They have to know that they are burning down their own house. If nothing else, I think we can foresee a temporary prudence in the actions of some college athletes. Andy Puopolo's death in the Combat Zone sounded the death knell for that "neighborhood".
