Duke Lacrosse False Accuser Crystal Gail Magum Arrested For Arson and Attempted Murder...

Popehat:

Magum will almost certainly receive something that comes far closer to resembling immediate due process for this alleged bathroom incident than did the three college students she falsely accused of raping her in a bathroom. The media’s narrative in this case — nutty girlfriend acts nutty — is far less powerful than the narrative in the Duke Lacrosse case — racist privileged white boys victimize poor black woman. Therefore, even though she is a black woman, and even though there will be some media interest in her case, the presumption of innocence will likely be applied somewhat more seriously.

I will be waiting eagerly for Amanda Marcotte’s take. It will be up any minute now.
