Catalino, Sherwood, Payton, Crotty, and Loftus at the least, are all part of the Carrington suit. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/north-carolina/ncmdce/1:2008cv00119/47871/ |

Had to follow my Hooligan friend over there... "We see it differently. We are elated. Depositions will lead to an unraveling and… exposure. We want their actions and their moral depravity…. exposed… from Duke Nurse Levicy…up to Brodhead and Steele. “None of which is remotely mentioned in the count that will be argued at trial.” Is this all you have to say? Your dismissal of all that these families endured, of the burden their reputations still carry… because of del;iberate Best-for-Duke PR/PC decisions made at Duke? That’s it? Is this what you would say to the Families involved…sitting across from them? “So my alma mater can be somewhat relieved that much of this awful matter can be laid to rest. I’ve actually wondered if Duke could sue Nifong for putting the school in a position in which they were going to get taken to court and defamed in the media no matter what school administrators did, but I’m saying that as a philosopher/journalist/alumnus rather than as a lawyer (which I’m not).” How is this “awful matter” laid to rest? As long as there are individuals who smear these kids..that “something happened”..it will not be “laid to rest” for the families. Remember, the Lacrosse players were either brutal racially motivated rapists…or bystanders who enabled the rape. Did Nifong put Duke “in a position” where they were forced to break the law? At the time of most jeopardy to these kids, the Brodhead administration decided (according to the suits) to break the law in their zeal to help Nifong and then later deceive the court to cover-up their disregard for FERPA law. Why? PR and PC mattered more than three real kids? How was THIS Nifong’s fault? Why did it take days to decide the Black Panthers could not march (armed they announced) on campus during exam weeK? PR and PC? Some of these “privileged kids” slept in cars because the families, were terrified but could not afford anything safer for their sons. Remember, the N&O had published the “Wanted poster” with all their names and photos..which, despite pleas, Duke REFUSED earlier to take down from their website and therefore helped “targeting” of these students be accomplished. Why? Why the need to be uber-cooperative to the point of breaking the Law and actually endangering these kids? The 88 “thanked” CASTRATE-sign carrying protesters for “not waiting” and rushed to be signatories to an ad printed at the WORST POSSIBLE moment during the forming witch-hunt. Why? To show solidarity with issues of minority students? THREE students had 40 years of their lives on the line? Could they not have shown caution, compassion for THEM? Why not wait for facts? DNA? Anything more than hysteria and accusation? Would they have published if this were say..Katie Rouse..raped at a Black fraternity party. (no, they didn’t) Bias is ugly in any skin hue. These people have been elevated at Duke…where there world view has more influence. So how is “this awful matter laid to rest?” The mind-set, the bias exists. Whose son might be their next target? Whose grades adjusted to fit their need to promote their world-view? Some of us remember how these faculty tyrants humiliated these innocent kids in class..on only an accusation and no evidence. Did they do this to the young men whose fraternity hosted the party at which Katie Rouse was raped? I recommend they not be absolved of lynch-mob mentality to ANYONE. “CASTRATE THEM!” “Thank you for not waiting.” What ignorance. We want the ignorance and moral depravity once again on display. It will seep into the depositions. It will stink up the room as we learn more. The stench of what we learn will hopefully envelop Brodhead, Levicy, et al till it precedes them into every room like a cheap cologne for the rest of their lives. The counts that remain will do nicely, thank you. |

Sounds as if the new Chronicle editors were too busy trying to form a Justice4Brodhead group. I hear they are assembling items to auction for his benefit, inscribed copies of THE SCHOOL OF HAWTHORNE (I have one to contribute, signed "fondly" to Pat), copies of LAST DANCE WITH GRACE (with odd smears), the original CASTRATE sign, the holograph of Cathy Davidson's 2007 explanation of how what she signed in 2006 does not mean what it meant in 2006, the bathtub where Mangum built her blaze, 388 unpublished pieces from the Gang of 88 that have been listed as "forthcoming," DVDs of Brodhead doing his "whatever they did" speech, &c. Assembling this stuff takes a lot of time and many hands so it is unreasonable to expect them to cover an old court case. Joan, it's time to be patient with these great people who not only replaced but surpassed the never-been-missed Ms Butler.

"...388 unpublished pieces from the Gang of 88 that have been listed as "forthcoming," Is that count accurate or just humor? |

When you are my age nothing is "just humor": humor is all that gets you through. No, I did not do an actual count of anyone's faked forthcoming publications, though the fond inscription to Pat is real. I wonder how long Pat kept the book. |

When I think of 'accurate details' most others would never notice, I think "Payback". Starting there and proceeding with what I know about the "88", if that number had been accurate, the only surprise I'd get from it is that you took the time to research it ...and that wouldn't have surprised me very much.

He's waiting for Nifong to translate the judge's ruling. Unfortunately, Nifong doesn't read any documents!
