If There is No Sperm, You Cannot Confirm

It is becoming increasingly evident that members of the Duke lacrosse team will not be charged with the sexual assault of a 27 year old stripper on March 13.

On Monday, attorneys representing the athletes said that the DNA testing conducted on 63 of the 64 members of the team failed to connect any of them with the rape or beating of the woman.

This is not good.

It is obviously an awful thing whenever a woman is raped, but at least it seemed like the scumbags who did it were going to get theirs. Now that it appears her story was at least fabricated and maybe completely false, you have to wonder what happens now.

How could someone make up such a terrible story? A whole country got behind this woman in an attempt to show that we wouldn’t let some rich, trust fund snobs get away with brutalizing a woman. Racial tensions in Durham have escalated to the point where people’s lives are in danger.

All of this over a lie.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m sure the portrayal of the team members is completely accurate. They are a bunch of brats from wealthy families that think they are god’s gift to the world and can do whatever they want. The e-mail that one kid sent was disgusting. The way they acted during this whole ordeal was tasteless.

The school was right in pressuring the head coach to resign and for canceling the rest of the season because that was the correct way to handle the allegations against the team.

But right now, at least, it looks like a lot of people deserve an apology.

No matter how hard it is to give.
