On March 13th, 2006, the Duke University lacrosse team had a party. What happened there became a nightmare that changed lives, ruined careers, tarnished a school's reputation and even jeopardized the future of the sport at Duke.

Wow I’m surprised...this is ABC/Disney after all...
Yes, excellent documentary. The 85 Bears one was also excellent.
Cruz!
Trump!
Kasich!
Rubio!
(*ducks*)
watched it last night...
1) i was amazed nifong got a single day in jail...
2) I wish the 3 Duke lax kid had sued everybody...
These young men were railroaded by an incompetent prosecutor. The accuser should have never been believed in the first place.
Nifong deserved more than one day in jail.
I saw this last night. It was tragic what Nifong did to those kids. I never saw anything about apologies from the liberal faculty or administration who went off half-cocked when the allegations surfaced.
I'd have phrased it, 'a Media obsessed with pushing racial division and strife, so much wanted this story to be true.'
The questioning of Nifong’s DNA expert and his stunning admission under oath was as close to a Perry Mason moment as it gets.
Taped it to watch tonight.
So was the one on the Big East and the Pony Express. The one on the Eagles owner was unwatchable.
While the kids were railroaded by a corrupt and unethical prosecutor, the tracks were laid by the university they attended and the coal tender filled by a racist left wing media pushing an agenda.
The faculty who signed that letter should all have been personally sued and made to pay huge damages. Same with every media outlet that pushed the narrative.
Tell those kids about their “white privilege.”
The Big East documentary was indeed so excellent. I grew to admire Dave Gavitt very much after watching it. RIP.

Yep, that’s the liberal world alright.
the prosecutor wasn’t incompetent, just evil.
Although he did fail to get re-elected or to cover his tracks, so perhaps “incompetent” is te word to use, after all.
The stripper/whore who lied about the gang rape is doing 14+ years for stabbing her boyfriend to death. So, she has that going for her.
No, he got re-elected. That was a crucial point in this story and at least one plausible explanation of this rogue prosecutor’s motives. Apparently, though, his miscarriages of justice did not start and end with the Duke case. That was also illuminating.
Apparently she “wrote” a book about this? I’d bet it’s up there with OJ’s “If I Did It” book in terms of un-readability.
