- W1485758052 abstract "INTRODUCTION On December 28, 2006, Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong filed his initial response to North Carolina State Bar grievance committee's complaint that he had unethically withheld exculpatory DNA evidence in Duke lacrosse case. Nifong concluded his missive with a swipe at blogosphere: A well-connected and well-financed (but not, would suggest, well-intentioned) group of individuals--most of whom are neither in nor from North Carolina--have taken it upon themselves to ensure that this case never reaches trial. (And if this seems like paranoid delusion to you, perhaps you should check out websites such as former Duke Law School graduate and current Maryland attorney Jason Trumpbour's www.friendsofdukeuniversity.blogspot.com/, which has not only called for me to be investigated, removed from this case, and disbarred, but has also provided instructions on how to request such actions and to whom those requests should be sent.) (1) A few months earlier, District Attorney had similarly complained about blogosphere. Asked in June 2006 by Newsweek reporter Susannah Meadows to comment on mounting evidence of actual innocence, Nifong replied, I have seen quite a bit of media speculation (and it is even worse on blogs) that either starts from a faulty premise or builds to a demonstrably false conclusion. That is not my fault. (2) Nifong was hardly only prominent figure associated with case who read blogs. Sergeant Mark Gottlieb, lead police investigator in lacrosse case through summer of 2006, stated under oath that he regularly perused blogs, looking for tips. (3) After players' exoneration, defense attorneys publicly praised work of several blogs; Jim Cooney (who represented Reade Seligmann) and Brad Bannon (who represented Dave Evans) even posted items on Liestoppers forum, thanking bloggers for their efforts. (4) All sides in case, then, conceded that blogs affected developments in Durham. This article will examine reasons why blogosphere proved particularly well-suited to covering lacrosse case and will analyze potential drawbacks to intersection between trials and Internet. II THE LACROSSE CASE'S SUITABILITY FOR THE BLOGOSPHERE Three major reasons accounted for blogosphere's influence in lacrosse case. Readers looking for information about accuser Crystal Mangum could find it more readily on blogs, which then provided links to other Internet sources. The blogs established their credibility by exposing poor reporting by mainstream media, especially that of The New York Times, and benefited from Internet-friendly policies of Raleigh TV station WRAL and Raleigh News & Observer. Additionally, blogs provided superior coverage of specialized issues, notably proper procedures for forensic nurses and agendas of Duke professors, that were important on fringes of case. A. Otherwise Unavailable Information Between first press reports of charges on March 20, 2006, and Attorney General Roy Cooper's publicly declaring three Duke lacrosse players innocent on April 11, 2007, no newspaper or television-news broadcast identified accuser Crystal Mangum by name. Instead, mainstream media described her as the woman, the accuser, the alleged victim, or the victim. (5) Such behavior is standard practice for rape and sexual assault cases. Rick Gall, news director for WRAL, justified his station's policy in an April 2006 interview, stating that nondisclosure was really based on a community expectation that we don't release We believe community would be appalled if we released it. (6) Orange County North Carolina District Attorney Jim Woodall explained policy's rationale in News & Observer: Over years, have known so many, both women and men, who would tell me they did not want to go forward in a case because they did not want to let people know what happened to them, because of stigma attached. …" @default.
