You're interested in Duke lacrosse?
Than Johnsville’s News is a “must visit daily” blog unless you're rogue DA Mike Nifong, a prosecuting journalist at the Raleigh N&O, or one of the shameless Duke Faculty "Group of 88."
Today Johnville’s offers extracts from an article in yesterday’s Duke student newspaper, The Chronicle. The headline's an excellent article summary: "Living A Nightmare: Lax players speak out."
Johnsville also provides today a concise summary of the main points of an open letter to President Brodhead and the Trustees which Friends of Duke University published in a full page ad in yesterday’s Chronicle.
Johnsville’s summary
Main points:If the Trustees, President Brodhead, and the Faculty start implementing those four points, it will mean big changes at Duke.
Speak up for your students
Be fair to the lacrosse team and encourage others to do so as well
Speak up for Duke
Accept the challenges presented by this crisis
Those changes are needed. The Trustees, President Brodhead and the Faculty must refuse to grovel any longer before the Group of 88, their supporters and the “witch hunting” media. ONce they do that, they'll be in a position to start to right injustices and add to the university's strength and statue.
Folks, if you’ve never been to Johnsville, today’s a good day for a first visit.

The facts speak for themselves...
Thanks John,
I really appreciate your great endorsement. Your blog is my must read everyday. I think many people share this sense of frustration that this hoax looks like it might be allowed to continue until a trial next year.
I agree with one of the lacrosse players who said a trial would be a great way to finally bury this injustice with an exclamation mark.
But, waiting until the spring of 2007 just seems so grossly unfair it ticks me off every I think about it.
I'll stay tuned and continue to join you in protesting this gross miscarriage of justice.

Aside from the unsavory parts of his profile, the key item of actual relevance is that Durham Assistant DA Destine was a 1996 classmate of the accuser at Durham's Hillside H.S.
