Someone should hold hearings on why the DOJ can rush to investigate every conceivable slight against one group or another but won’t investigate
death threats made against a defendant in a courtroom by a uniformed member of a militant hate group;
witness arrest and intimidation; warrants obtained through false info; evidence tampering; police destruction of evidence (tapes, phone records) needed by the defense; falsified medical and police reports; etc.
Yes, I’m talking about the Duke lacrosse prosecution–”Scottsboro II”, with just the colors reversed. You won’t find a bigger deprivation of rights and example of railroading against unpopular defendants since 1931.
But no DOJ interest at all. . .
