Tawana Brawley 2006?

Tuesday’s DNA results which produced no match to any of the accused members has changed the Duke Lacrosse rape scandal from a despicable abuse of the poor and black by the privileged and white to possibly our generations' Tawana Brawley case. While it is important to wait for all the facts to be revealed before deeming the lacrosse players “innocent”, the DNA non-match seems to make this case all but un-prosecutable. If the victim is pulling a Tawana Brawley (if you don’t know her story it’s told in the article linked below) Ruth Sheehan of the Raleigh News-Observer writes she is doing perhaps the greatest injustice to victims of true rape.
