Ms. Sill, May I presume to suggest some work assignments at the N&O?

Please send someone over to the city manager's office. Let's remember after the Duke report was issued, how he excoriated the Duke officier about that "eavesdropping" report . The one that stated the accuser told multiple stories that first night. He assured us the police denied this. In light of the recent filings that show police notes confirming multiple stories, the N&O needs to talk to him again.

Who told him what? Did he talk to the police or Nifong? Did he know the truth and lie? Or was he misled, and if so, by whom? Get your best investigative reporter on this. There is a story here, a big one. The story of how and why these charges came to be....and EVERYONE who was involved. He misled the public. Why? What is the story behind the scenes here?

Get somebody else over to the police department.
Is it true the Police Chief is on leave? Who is running the store over there...Nifong? There must be one man with a conscience over there, appalled at this witchhunt. Here's a catchy phrase, Tell them "We know you know,"

Get your editorial page in gear. It looks downright strange that NOW you have so little to say. . .

Start with Kim's original "crock" statement that the rape never took place. Observe how it morphs into a strong "maybe " after Nifong cuts her a sweet deal. Next, we have the five or six line-ups it took, to get an identification from the accuser. Huh? They were ALL lacrosse players..in their jerseys! No wrong answers?

On to the poor immigrant taxi driver, who steps forwardly proudly in the American way. Soon after he is picked up on a dodgey two year old warrant..by the DETECTIVES on the rape case? To the nation at large Durham is beginning to look like Mayberry-run-amuck. Your editorial silence assumes this is business as usual in our hometown. Gosh, isn't that how every prosecutor gets a conviction. Can your editorial page do outrage? If not now, when?

Send another reporter to do some rummaging through old police/court files. Find ONE other incident in Durham where charges were pursued ....when multiple inconsistant stories were disputed by 46 witnesses and no DNA. Just give us ONE to show that these charges are Durham's NORM, not a politically motivated aberration. . .
