But at the news conference in front of the Durham County Judicial Building, state NAACP President William Barber had another skewed figure in mind -- the disproportionate number of TV cameras on hand to document the progress of the Racial Justice Act compared to all those lenses three years ago at those same courthouse steps trained on defendants and their lawyers when the Duke lacrosse situation was commanding so much attention.

And why was there so much attention focused on the lacrosse case? (Do Barber and Al McSurely
know anything about why that might be?)
