I’ve already written twice about this episode of the Duke lacrosse scandal. Check the first of those posts for details. I touched on it again to make some points about people jumping to conclusions in a heated controversy that’s bound to have some nastiness on both sides. But there was an important piece of the […]

The first has an introduction and overview. The second and third are about the potbanging protest and its connection to and impact on the controversy surrounding the “listening” statement. This one turns to […]
Also tagged Duke University, flame wars, KC Johnson, liestoppersI left out a few things when I hastily posted this earlier today, so this is version 2… I’ve been hoping to finish a full-blown post with the evidence Johnson was wondered so much about. As usual, things drag on. So, as a stopgap, some responses to Johnson and other commenters. [A “full-blown post” is […]
Also tagged Duke University, KC JohnsonThis is my email exchange with KC Johnson before he posted in answer to my first three posts in my Duke Lacrosse case series. References to Claire Potter are explained, more or less, in this entry and the entries it links to. [Dec. 11: I originally posted only paraphrases of Johnson’s emails to me but […]
