The Innocence Project Via Cliopatria, a powerful review of a book about the Duke lacrosse case, whose District Attorney went to jail today (but only for a day): ... Houston Baker, a noted professor of English, called the lacrosse players "white, violent, drunken men veritably given license to rape," men who could "claim innocence . . . safe under the cover of silent whiteness." Protesters on campus and in the city itself waved "castrate" banners, put up "wanted" posters and threatened the physical safety of the lacrosse players. |
