Reade Seligmann writes to the blog hooligans

KC Johnson has it over at his place.

I think that Seligmann illustrates just how reckless and misleading the press coverage of this case was and is. Say what you want about the "lax culture" or the appropriateness of the party, the fact remains that he did not "fit the profile" they drew and in many ways he stands in opposition to it.

An underclassman, he had nothing to do with organizing the party.

Many lacrosse players had run-ins with the law. RS had none.

Many of the lax run-ins with the law occurred before Seligmann arrived at Duke.

He was a good student and good athlete.

He did charity work.

On the afternoon of the party, thousands of college students were getting drunk on Spring Break. Reade Seligmann played golf.

When the lax party started to turn sour, he bailed. He left long before Nikki and Precious. He was not there for the arguments and insults.

He called a cab and went for burgers. He even gave the cabbie a nice tip.

The only reason his name is discussed is because the DPD and DA gave a multiple choice test with no wrong answers.

There are those who still try to find a way to smear his name. It can't be the facts, so it must be the agenda.
