Back when 60 minutes did actual investigative reporting with integrity!
I’m sure a lot of you know this but the woman who lied about being raped is now in jail for murder. No joke.
Good for Ed Bradley for being so dogged in this case and investigating everything fully, especially when his health was failing. He was a credit to journalism.
Objective media reporting with no bias whatsoever. Good job Ed and 60 Minutes.
On 1/28/18 I watched 30 for 30 and was too pissed to go to sleep. I cannot believe that a DA would act in this manner. Glad he was disbarred, sued and now his life is trashed. One of the police committed suicide in 2014 and the accuser is now in jail for killing her boyfriend. Fate does have a way of punishing those who are truly evil. The mental scars are lifelong I’m sure.
Nifong fits the prototypical narcissist. He did more than 50 interviews on national T.V. for this case.
It should never have gone to trial, Due process was bypassed and the media hung them boys out to dry.
I don’t know who Ed Bradley is, but he has earned my respect.
One of Ed Bradley’s last stories for 60 Minutes. Never learn: Richard Jewell, Duke Lacrosse, UVA, etc.
The town must really hate the school if the prosecutor and police acted the way they did.. And the faculty hates the athletes… The best story of all time
Sad how Duke’s “Group of 88” (a.k.a., “Gang of 88”) went on to further their careers at Duke, and other universities. A testament of spoiled, narrow-minded people in our Ivory Towers?
Just got done watching the ” 30 for 30 ” on this ! Mind blowing !!
Reade Seligmen lives in my town he’s now a lawyer and has a charity revolving around false allegations and helping those people great guy
Bradley says at 1:50 that the accuser picked anyone of the lacrosse team and it was like shooting fish in the barrel. Truth is, the one picture she did pick was not at the party and wasn”t even in the county that night. Wish the three accused sued CBS as they sued Duke and multiple others AND WON because of the total fraud in this case……The accuser was sadly, not in good mental health.. she is now dead, of course. One police officer who also contrived evidence is dead, having committed suicide when the truth came out. Nifong said they were guilty before any evidence was examined and the news media was very happy to parrot his claims.
Fun fact: the accused of these players is in jail for murder now
It must of killed Bradley to cover this case. He knew the three were innocent but at the same time had to tow the CBS company line that the three were guilty.
Difong should have gotten 30 years
Great journalism. I think he knew it was BS right from the go.
It’s a damn shame she was prosecuted, it might’ve saved that man’s life. Smh.
The deputy chief of police who handled that case was the main crack and cocaine dealer in that district. He ran a bar where all drug dealers came and made deals enjoying the deputy’s protection from police harassment. Deputy then came down hard on the college kids as his public relations initiative to help out his image.
the prosecutor lied and KNEW IT, but offered an amazing plea deal to the innocent people
YES, and women can AND should take responsibility in preventing sexual assualt as well—-do not always blame it on the guy.
the odds are against the stripper because she’s changed her story, her desecriptions of what the accused look like. The other stripper says the police report isn’t accurate of what the woman said. The prosecutor took the case to the media without examining the facts of the case, and is still trying to go ahead with this? Let’s hope that justice is served and this prosecutor and lying stripper get jail time
If this happened during the metoo era
Ed Bradley was a real journalist
Ed Bradley. So much class and integrity. Where are the Ed Bradley’s in 2021?
Yeah, the odds are against the stripper…rape is one of the toughest crimes to prove…very very hard, I hope justice is served in the end too! My hearts goes out to all of them! Note to everyone: Thanks for keeping the comments in here mature!
That female reporter almost sounds sorry that there is no evidence! The media completely disgraced itself over this. Ed Bradley, last of the TRUE reporters.
anyone know where i can watch the entire 60 minutes segment that was shown tonight (sunday october 15 2006)? i missed 60 minutes and would like to watch the ed bradley segment with the duke players and the accuser.
If you’re going to slam Kifong you have to slam the defense attorneys because everytime you look up, they’re in the news making comments. The judge should have issued a gag order long ago.
I go to Duke and know Reade from two classes and also outside of class. He didn’t do it. Nifong might get his bar association in this state revoked for his conduct (he violated at least 3 rules in the bar guidelines) Namely, the worse, he brought the media into the case without them finding it out first.
Thank you for your support 60 Minutes
Moral of story: dont hire strippers
People lie?
How come people that falsely accuse people get no punishment??
1:02 “So, they feel confident they are innocent”……..What is that supposed to mean, Ed???
It’s actually pretty crazy
Gotta’ get ‘dem Duke Boys!
The Duke guys got a 60 million settlement .
The media, professors , New York Times and Al sharpton accused them of quilt
Exotic dancer, uh? I suppose you can’t say “crack ho'” on TV.
@karlsmith00 That was sarcasm “sweetie” YOU need to perhaps read it a couple of times before sending a knee jerk reaction. The statement clearly is a tribute to Ed Bradley compared to the rest of the media. Its not about women. Sorry
This is scary stuff
237: LOTS of white guys would love to give Kim Roberts some gooooood lovin’ though 🙂
SO THESE BOYS WERE FOUND INNOCENT. YET THE NY PARK 5 WERE LOCKED UP LOST THEIR INNOCENCE. Hmmmm
Shame on media, the professors and the Jessie smollet girl for their abhorrent behavior. Shameful
Believe all women lol
Women empowerment!
The stripper was never charged. Black privilege.
Just watched the 30 for 30. No offense but all those guy’s couldn’t of hired a better looking stripper?
HOORAY, Kim Roberts! Only a black woman could exonerate three white boys! Instant credibility! (no sarcasm intended).
Ladies were more than likely threatened and took the money.
