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

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

reply

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

reply

That sounds familiar.

reply

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

reply

I do recall the suits that followed, but don’t remember the specifics. I think all of them became independently wealthy from the suits, but I also remember them as being rich kids from the beginning.
They should go back for another dipping from the slush fund of the state university.

reply

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

reply

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.
