30-30 Duke Lacrosse Story: Fantastic Lies

[royboy]

Evans' public proclamation was irrelevant to the outcome of the Duke case. It had nothing to do with the unraveling of Nifong.

I seldom agree with michnittlion, but I do believe Evans' public proclamation was important in public opinion, a factor in more people questioning or opposing Nifong. The DNA evidence, or lack of it, that came out was of course crucial and not connected to Evans' statements.

But public opinion matters.

"Whatever reason" is obvious. The lawyers for C/S/S are telling them to stay quiet. And at the stage in live JVP was at at the time he was in no condition to endure intense questioning even about football, much less the JS stuff.

Then the lawyers for C/S/S are wrong. If you are innocent, there is/was NO risk to making a controlled public statement (you don't have to answer any questions) in mid-November 2011 where you just look into a camera and strongly say "I did not do this. I am innocent."

Even YOU can't be that stupid or ignorant:

"In the Freeh Report, Louis Freeh concluded that Dr. Spanier was aware of Jerry Sandusky’s reprehensible behavior, and that he actively covered it up. That is false. As Dr. Spanier’s defamation complaint lays out, Freeh recklessly and maliciously disregarded evidence demonstrating Dr. Spanier’s innocence, including a Federal Investigative Service report vindicating Dr. Spanier. By all accounts, Dr. Spanier was one of the most honored and decorated University presidents with a sterling reputation before Freeh and Penn State published these false conclusions. Dr. Spanier knows that he is innocent. And once an impartial jury has the opportunity to weigh the full body of evidence — not just Freeh’s one-sided presentation of it — Dr. Spanier is confident that the public will know it too."

Spanier statement published in the New York Daily News


You can reasonably agree or disagree with the contentions.....but he sure as Hell DID proclaim innocence......you invertebrate putz.

We are a visual society --- and have been for 2 generations. Get in front of a camera. 100x more powerful than a statement released to the New York Daily News.

You must be an idiot. No lawyer in their right mind is going to have C/S/S saying public things about that case. Corbett knew this as an attorney. That is why those trumped up charges were brought against them to keep them quiet.

LOL......keep moving the goalposts wherever you want Paulie.

It's clear you maxed out your intellectual capabilities with your in-depth reviews of the Men's Rooms in Michigan Stadium.

I guess David Evans' lawyer was an idiot himself.

Note the Evans statement from May 2006 (it was part of last night's documentary) --- he didn't field questions. If a lawyer allowed him to field questions, no doubt THAT would have been idiotic. (e.g., Amendola and the Costas/Sandusky interview)
