Duke President Richard Brodhead cancelled the lacrosse season.
The DA knew the accuser was unreliable yet he prosecuted and was later suspended
Guilty until proven innocent i.e. the accuser is full of shit
Yes, they moved without having a jury weigh in on it and decide based on the evidence and cross-examination. It was a travesty of academic justice.

The boys were all expelled, if I recall correctly. Granted, they were partying with a prostitute, so maybe that's enough.

They were not expelled for partying, which would be a suspension at worst.
I think they sued Duke and won a nice cash settlement but still, their lives were ruined

They should go back for another dipping from the slush fund of the state university.

That sounds familiar.
reply
Yes, but they were screwed up one side and down the other. I haven’t heard of them since then.

Yes, all expelled and the lacrosse team disbanded. All due to lying. This is part of law. Lying does not go.
