Note to Editors:
John F. Burness is the senior vice president for public affairs and
government relations at Duke
Durham, N.C. -- As both President Brodhead and I have said repeatedly over the
past few weeks, we have to have confidence that the police
investigation will ultimately reveal the truth. While the criminal
allegations in this case are extremely serious, it is important to
remember that no one has been charged and that in our system of law
people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
