THE Duke Lacrosse Case, The Voters And The 2016 Election
One of the few Duke undergraduates to protest the prosecution of the Duke lacrosse players was Stephen Miller of the class of 2007. Miller wrote multiple articles for the Duke Chronicle and spoke on multiple news programs criticizing the prosecutor and Duke administrators. After graduating in 2007 Miller worked for Republicans on Capitol Hill and in 2015 he worked for Trump’s campaign and has been the speechwriter for Trump’s major speeches. washingtonexaminer.com
‘When our peers are accused of heinous acts, we should be the first to demand they be given the presumption of innocence-their immutable right. Instead, from the first day, many immediately presumed the lacrosse players’ guilt and called for their punishment. Sadly, I imagine many will continue to do so.’ Stephen Miller’s 2006 piece in the Duke Chronicle
