Some of you folks may be too young to remember this, but in 2006 there was a case at Duke where a stripper claimed she was raped by 3 men at a Duke Lacrosse party attended by 30 people. Everyone there said it didn’t happen. The DA, Mike Nifong, was in an election and falsified evidence and used that to arrest 3 men. These men were paraded out in front of a gaggle of cameras for televised perp walks and called vile things by the MSM.
88 Duke professors signed a petition with a list of insane demands.
It was an utter shitshow. The DNA evidence was totally false. A judge let the men go. Nifong actually got arrested and disbarred. The media ran with nothing but a narrative for an extended period and then when it fell apart it was like “welp, nothing to see here.”
