Dunno 'bout "never," but probably not during our lifetimes.

You're late to the party, max. Pity, since we know you won't be around long.

And again. :) I think one of those Duke Lacrosse threads is the first time you and I had a debate.

Good times. I may have to go back and read it when I have a little time.

John Edwards comes to mind. Don't believe he will be tried again.

Doubtful he should have been tried in the first place, and really, the Justice Dept. was reaching on those criminal charges. I think the right thing happened in this case.

Edwards may be a slimeball, but I don't think he's a criminal.

Brian Banks and his attorney were on NPR about 30 minutes ago.

Very interesting discussion.

It began with a discussion of false rape accusations and why some people do not want to discuss the approximately 10% of accusations that are false.

How about we arrest the false accusers? Do you think Wanetta Gibson should go to jail?

Yes. Is that your profundity?

Given the circumstances that her false accusations had some serious consequences for Banks I would like to see her face sthe same consequences. Throw her ass in jail for however long that kid had to serve.

Sure. Is that all?

In case you didn't see this:

Brian Banks Gets Tryouts from Seahawks, Redskins, Chiefs and Dolphins

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/fo...icle-1.1087382

The Seahawks just posted an interview with coach Pete Carroll (who was recruiting Banks to USC at the time of the allegations) to their Facebook page. Tryout in Seattle is tomorrow!

Brian Banks will be on Leno tonight.

Falsely accused, jailed, lost part of his life, and now, as if all of that isn't injustice enough, being relegated to potentially playing for the Seahawks.....man, this poor guy can't catch a break. ;) (Sorry but yes, I did have to go there).

Seriously, good for him, I hope it works out, and he finally gets to realize his dreams.
