He needs to be informed by bloggers and readers of the facts of the rape hoax case. Please don't assume that McManus keeps up with the case in the close manner many of us are accustomed to. Please send timelines, the Slate piece by the legal scholar and other intelligent commentary from various bloggers. Avoid speculation and stick to the facts. The facts are on the side of the Duke players; when you have the facts, argue the facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1156881882771335992006-08-29T16:04:00.000-04:002006-08-29T16:04:00.000-04:00Peterson is a sideshow to the Nifong re-election e...Peterson is a sideshow to the Nifong re-election effort. There are a lot of delusional folks supporting ole Mike's campaign, principally Mike himself. If he was simply held accountable by the voters for the standards he set for himself he would be summarily dismissed from office. Let's look at one example from his campaign website:<BR/><BR/>"On Winning Trials: The shortsighted prosecutor concerns himself only with victory in the courtroom and is willing to take whatever advantage he can, no matter the consequence. The wise prosecutor understands that victory at trial is merely the first step in a journey that ends only with the completion of the appellate process. Along that journey, it is the prosecutor who actually bears the ultimate responsibility for seeing that the defendant has a fair trial, and any prosecutor who leaves that burden for the judge and the defense attorney will likely find himself having to repeat the trip at some point in the future."<BR/><BR/>Even if the Durham Three weren't represented by first-class counsel and if the bloggers and other concerned citizens weren't reminding us of the injustices of this case, Mike wants us to believe he would have been more concerned about dispensing fairness than gaining a conviction....delusion, pure and unadulturated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1156869322726458132006-08-29T12:35:00.000-04:002006-08-29T12:35:00.000-04:00John, here's a story you'll be interested in.Ethic...John, here's a story you'll be interested in.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/columns/ethics_archive.jsp" REL="nofollow">Ethics Corner: Did N.C.
