It's about damn time: a formal review of the Durham Police Department's handling of the Duke lacrosse "case" begins today. From the beginning, police conduct was too often unprofessional and biased, without regard for due process or the presumption of innocence. The most egregious example of all of this was the police lineup for "victim" Crystal Gail Mangum in which she was shown only pictures of lacrosse players - no one else. The Police Department assumed that someone on the team had raped her, the only question was her. I'm looking forward to the results of this review, though I admit I haven't the greatest expectations; it is Durham after all.
