It's the rest of the lax team... some who lost so much- respect, academic standing, guilt by association,

It's about a community (Dook) that had to go through this episode (I can't believer i'm defending duke)

it's about the high school seniors who had committed to duke and then watched from afar as their school-to-be was bashed (and not b/c of the performance of the b-ball team. HAH! Had to get it in. )

It's about Durham, North Carolina which became a town under siege by exploitive news media (read: nancy grace, rita cosby, etc...)

It's about race relations coming to the forefront in ways that were unpredictable, sometimes positive, and sometimes, very negative

It's about Lives of the parents of the the accused, the friends of the accused, the siblings of the accused, their friends.

It's about the people of North Carolina who were promised a DA who swore he would not run for a second term when appointed to his position... and then lied.

It's about the waste of state resources spent on this case.

And it's about the fact that he could have ended it all... just by playing within the rules of the legal game... but didn't.

Nope. It's not just about three Duke Men. It wound up being about so much more.
