On MSNBC this morning, Reade Seligmann stated again how he was accused of sexual assault even though he had cell phone records proving that he was not even near the alleged victim when she claimed he was. He asked: What would have happened if he had not had those records? Did he now need to remember every place he went and every person he met so as not to be falsely accused again?
What is even more scary to me is that Mike Nifong’s supervisor – I assume it’s North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper – did not stop this injustice a LONG time ago. Was he afraid to “step on Nifong’s toes”? Did he know of other cases of injustice and did not want to set a precedent of intervening? This case should deeply concern all of us.
But I suppose that most of us will just forget about it and secretly hope that it only happens to other people. One lesson we can get from all this is to watch what company we keep. If there hadn’t been a party that included an “exotic dancer”, none of this would have started. So keep in mind Peter McWilliams’ CPA test: what do you create, promote, or allow to happen in your life?
