Liestoppers is a must

visit every day for it's daily update of links to who's saying what about the Duke Hoax , it's enablers and those working for justice, and its outstanding posts.

Now readers have another reason for visiting Liestoppers: this column highlighting the work of Beth Brewer.

It was Beth who stepped in where others feared to tread. She's led the challenge to Durham's rogue DA Mike Nifong's plans to inflict on Durham four more years of the kind of injustice Duke Law Professor James Coleman described in June:

[In the suspect identification procedure,] the police not only failed to include people they knew were not suspects among the photographs shown the woman, they told the witness in effect that there would be no such "fillers" among the photographs she would see.

This strongly suggests that the purpose of the identification process was to give the alleged victim an opportunity to pick three members of the lacrosse team who could be charged. Any three students would do; there could be no wrong choice.(bold added)

The prosecutor would not care if the pre-trial identification was subsequently thrown out by the court. The accuser would identify them at trial by pointing to the three defendants seated in front of her as the three men who assaulted her. The prosecutor would argue that she had an independent basis (independent of the identifications thrown out) for doing so.

You know Coleman's describing a key part of Nifong's frame-up of three Duke students - David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligman.

Beth Brewer has the courage to fight rogue DA Nifong.

She's helped give Durham a chance to reject Nifong - elect Cheek so that Governor Easley can appoint someone for a two year term; someone who'll strive to give Durham what it doesn't have now: justice in the DA's office.

Please read the column and vote if you're eligible for Lewis Cheek.

Who knows? We might wind up with a DA who has the same kind of character, intelligence, and commitment to justice Professor Coleman has.
