If you have not heard of the Duke lacrosse rape case, let me urge you to find out more about it. It would be a waste of my time to explain the case as it has been done thoroughly at other blogs. Start by reading Robert KC Johnson's case narrative, and continue with basically any and every other post he has made there. Also see John in North Carolina's blog for more people who have responded in impressive and rare fashion to the false charges, incompetent law enforcement, and flat out lies that are disgustingly common in this case.

Johnson has followed the case extremely closely from the start, primarily because he was so disgusted by the behavior of some Duke faculty members known as the "Group of 88". He is meticulous, incredibly well researched, thorough, honest, honorable, and tenacious. I almost would say that I would not like to see KC as my opponent in an argument, but really, the opposite is true. KC is exactly the kind of rival any person of integrity would want. In short, he is exactly the kind person those without integrity would shiver in fear at.

He has exposed shameful behavior of many throughout this case. He has eviscerated Durham district attorney Mike Nifong, the Group of 88, the Durham police, the DNA testers, protesters at Duke holding up signs saying "castrate" those who should be presumed (and are very likely) innocent. KC has also given out well deserved pats on the back to many others, including the student run newspaper The Chronicle, taxi driver Moezeldin Elmostafa (who corroborated an alibi for one of the accused), members of the Duke economics department, and Duke law professor James Coleman.
