Agreed. I also would have loved to see Duke ‘s new President at the time, his Administration, and all the faculty (who signed open letter in Duke’s newspaper condemning not just the team but indicting the entire undergraduate population and culture before any investigation whatsoever had begun) held to account.

I am an Alumna who tremendously loved my years at the school. I was so mortified at their behavior that I withdrew a pledge I made for an important year Reunion (it was a pledge so I feel obligated to fulfill it ultimately but not until I leave this earth) and discontinued further financial support since. For better or for worse, the incident unveiled the already-well-entrenched liberal elitism on college campuses that is unchecked, and continues to grow (mis)shaping the young minds who will lead this nation through the future. As far as I am concerned, once you leave, no matter how fondly you remember your years in school, and how much enthusiasm and joy you get from watching exciting accomplishments made by those representing your school, the only voice you have is with your pocketbook, and, at the time, I believe the school took a temporary hit.

That, of course won’t happen, and unfortunately, she and the administration will likely use the suits as fodder to rile up the citizens who elected them in first place.

My remaining wish is that just one local media outlet will tally and publish the net cost of Mosby’s actions including net cost of prosecutions, all settlements, lawsuit awards, and increase in violent crime and related suffering she has cost the citizens of Baltimore! (local FOX News are you listening? It may be up to you and you alone!)

Too bad he didn’t get a lot more jail time. Prosecutorial misconduct should be punished severely.

A move that I’m sure Charles Murray would approve…

Officer Porter was the first trial and that resulted in a hung jury. I believe that Officer Goodson has also elected a bench trial in this case.
