If you follow national or sports news, you probably saw that today all charges were dropped against three Duke lacrosse players. But it was more than that! The attorney general of North Carolina almost literally shredded the district attorney for his actions in pursuing the case without evidence.
If you want to see what the AG had to say--and what you never, ever want to hear if you work for a prosecutor!--you can do so here.
This story, though, leads to a lot of different questions. Leave some comments with your thoughts!
1. Do you think that the district attorney should be disbarred for what he did?
2. Do you think it is right that the accuser who changed her story will probably get away scot free?
3. What do you think of the Attorney General's proposal? "Therefore, I propose a law that the North Carolina Supreme Court have the authority to remove a case from a prosecutor in limited circumstances. This would give the courts a new tool to deal with a prosecutor who needs to step away from a case where justice demands."
