Duke lacrosse: "On your marks, get set..."

This should be interesting.

AG to release Duke lacrosse report Friday

Typically, this kind of Friday document dump is a great way to bury a story. In the lax case, however, the real action as been online. That means "Vinnie in the Bronx" is going to have all weekend to chew over everything that ends up on the web. For those who are interested, here's where the action will be:

KC Johnson owns this story like Redford and Hoffman owned Watergate.

LieStoppers will probably weigh in. More importantly, their sidebar is loaded with automatically updated links to other sites that have followed the case.

The LieStoppers forum is the best place to see how the "wisdom of crowds" and "emergent collaboration" work. The collective knowledge of the posters there dwarfs anything the MSM can bring to this case.

Talk Left Forum and Court TV will probably show us the limits of such collaboration. Watch a few trolls and sock puppets do their best to impede the dialogue.

I've been critical of the News and Observer through out this case. It will still be a must read, though, because Joseph Neff is a great reporter.
