Forty People Can Keep a Secret - If There is No Secret
May 22, 2006
Ben Franklin famously said, "Threed people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." That truism must have been in Stuart Taylor's subconscious, when he wrote his most-recent column on the Duke rape case:
[H]ow likely is it that the more than 40 kids ... could have maintained an airtight cover-up since March 14 of a gang rape in a small, crowded house, with not one heeding pleas by parents and lawyers to protect himself by fingering any guilty parties?
Perhaps because there was no cover-up, because there was no crime to cover-up? You can read Mr. Taylor's full column here. (Via Overlawyered)
