ISBN: 9781416551461 - it's not about the truth: the untold story of the duke lacrosse case and the lives it shattered (34 resultados)

Condición: Good. Mike Pressler walked into the bottomfloor meeting room of the Murray Building and, as he had done hundreds of times over a sixteen-year career at Duke University, prepared to address his men's lacrosse team. Forty-six players sat in theater-style chairs, all eyes riveted forward. It was 4:35 P.M. on Wednesday, April 5, 2006. The program's darkest hour had arrived in an unexpected and explosive announcement. Pressler, a three-time ACC Coach of the Year, informed his team that its season was canceled and he had resigned, effective immediately. While his words reverberated off the walls, hysteria erupted. Players cried, confused over a course of events that had spun wildly out of control. What began as an off-campus team party with two hired strippers had accelerated into a rape investigation -- one that exposed prosecutorial misconduct, shoddy police work, an administration's rush to judgment, and the media's disregard for the facts -- dividing both a prestigious university and the city of Durham. Wiping away tears, Pressler demonstrated the steely resolve that helped him win more than two hundred games. For the next thirty minutes, Pressler put his personal situation aside and encouraged his players to stick together. He also made a bold promise: One day, we will get a chance to tell the world the truth. One day. This is that day. Pressler, who has not done an interview since the saga began, has handed his private diary from those three weeks to New York Times bestselling author Don Yaeger, exposing vivid details, including the day Pressler was fired, when the coach asked Athletic Director Joe Alleva why the school wasn't willing to wait for the truth to come out. It's not about the truth anymore, Alleva said to the coach in a signature moment that said it all. In addition to Pressler, Yaeger interviewed more than seventy-five key figures intimately involved in the case. The result is a tale that defies logic. It is tough to be one of fifty people who believed a story when fifty million people believed something else, Pressler said. This wasn't about the truth to many of the others involved. My story is all about the truth.…

Jacket, which has been price clipped, shows a one-inch closed tear to top of front panel at flap fold. The infamous case of the university whose faculty prematurely condemned members of its own (all white) lacrosse team when a black stripper accused those young men of rape, based on a narrative of "white privilege." The lacrosse program was suspended and Coach Pressler was forced to resign. At least one professor even started giving the lacrosse players "flunking" grades (unrelated to their academic performance) upon the accusations being made public. The complainant changed her story many times, finally even dropping the assertion that she had been "penetrated" (an element necessary for a charge of rape.) DNA evidence -- withheld by the prosecution from the defense in what defense lawyers described as "a game of hide-and-seek" -- proved the complainant had indeed had sex with at least four men in the days before the alleged crime (she had said she had not had sex for a week), but that none of the lacrosse players had been involved. All were exonerated, after running up $30 million in legal bills. Despicable County District Attorney Mike Nifong, who used the case for political advantage with black and liberal voters, was disbarred after this book was published, served one day in jail for contempt, and filed for bankruptcy protection in the face of $180 million in civil suits. He was the first sitting district attorney in the history of North Carolina to be disbarred. Subsequently, murder convictions against Darryl Howard, who at that time had been imprisoned for murder for 20 years in an unrelated case, were vacated on the grounds that prosecutor Nifong had withheld DNA evidence in HIS trial. That evidence, some of which wasn't tested until 2010, implicated two other men and cleared Howard, who walked free after 21 years. All prospective jurors in rape and murder cases should read this book. 321 pp. Reduced from $32.…
