Readers' Note: Raleigh News & Observer news columnist Ruth Sheehan helped lead the media attack on the Duke lacrosse players even before DA Mike Nifong spoke publicly about the case.
Sheehan now tells readers: "It was all Nifong's fault."
I don't buy Sheehan's myth-making.
I sent her the email below.
I'll keep you posted if I hear anything from her.

Dear Ruth,
Do you plan to tell readers why you wrote your vicious 3/27 column ("Team's Silence is Sickening") attacking the Duke students for only following the advice of their parents and attorneys?
You know why you wrote that column. You know you know.
You know you're not telling us why you wrote such a malicious column.
Please tell us why you did it.
The only people I know who believe your "Who knew Nifong would deceive me" excuse are people who say the N&O didn't frame the players, and that they wish Nifong was still “on the case.”
How about telling the truth, Ruth?
Give it a try.
It won't get you fired like Coach Pressler, will it?
Sincerely,
John in Carolina

Thanks for your coverage of this case!
Ruth wrote her column before Nifong started his publicity barge. She led the way and is a terrible writer on top of everything else. Who would read this woman? Ann Coulter - she is not.
Who would read Ann Coulter?
