Did politics and publicity railroad the Duke lacrosse defendants? Or were their accusers treated unfairly? In America, who fares better when a criminal trial becomes a media circus?

This special Constitution Day event featured Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor and Supreme Court Reporter, Slate.com. The panel discussion was moderated by Mark Obbie, followed by Lithwick’s lecture. Panelists included Linda Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy and Political Science; Sanjay Chhablani, Assistant Professor of Law; and Tom Maroney, Professor of Law. This event was co-sponsored by Syracuse University’s College of Law and the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at Newhouse.
