Duke University, where three lacrosse players were wrongfully accused of rape, will establish a center devoted to training lawyers to fight wrongful convictions. According to president Richard Brodhead, Duke will invest 1.25 million over the next five years for the project at the law school. The project will investigate claims of innocence b the state’s convicted felons and raise awareness of problems in the criminal justice system.
You get my “high five”. What took you so long? Why only 1.25 million over five years?
Not to rain on your parade, you get my heartiest congratulations! Well done Duke University! Yeah Duke!
