Late last week, Crystal Mangum — the accuser at the center of the notorious Duke lacrosse rape hoax — admitted for the first time that she lied about being brutally assaulted by David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann at a party in 2006.
From prison, where she's serving time for murdering her boyfriend in 2011, Mangum asked for the three men's forgiveness: ''I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong.''
She's not the only one who should be groveling: At the time of the trial, Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann were mercilessly dragged through the mud by rabid progressives with an ax to grind.
The players had the audacity to be well-off, white and male: The media responded like sharks to a bucket of chum, framing the young men as vicious, racist, misogynistic monsters.
