Newsweek profiles Duke Rape Frame-Up Case defendant Reade Seligmann in its current issue. It is a remarkable piece in so many ways, but i am particularly struck by this tidbit of information near the end of the article.

"I always believed that the truth will trump everything," he says. "I have to believe that." He'd already planned to go to law school, but now, he says, it's gotten personal: he wants to become a criminal defense lawyer.

This experience would be sufficient to make even the most optimistic person cynical, but it hasn't cone so with this young man. Instead, it has given him a purpose --to ensure that no other defendant gets violated in the way he has by rogue DA Mike Nifong. Maybe that will be a positive outcome of this travesty of justice.
