Duke: the beginning of the end?

It appears the Great Duke Rape Hoax may be inching toward its proper dismissal.

Up until yesterday, the charitable characterization of Brian Meehan, head of DNA Security, was incompetence beyond words. That positive DNA matches of three men were found on the person of the alleged victim, none of them Duke lacrosse players, was withheld from defense counsel, would seem to be (in the best light) a huge blunder by a scientist unaware of of the rules of discovery.

Then this moment:

Seligmann attorney Jim Cooney: “Was the exclusion of material the result of a specific agreement between you and representatives of the state of North Carolina?”

DNA Security director Brian Meehan: Yes.




As always, the esteemed KC Johnson weighs in.
