[QUOTE="syracuse95, post: 86279, member: 860"]
The problem is that the dust is making national news.  The dust settling won't.  This isn't an issue that will be played out between the Syracuse Police Department and the Onondaga County DA on the pages of the Post-Standard.  The finger pointing is now part of "the story" on ESPN, and potentially CNN, HLN, Fox, etc.  The perception in the here and now is that the local officials (SPD, DA, SU) tried to cover this up.

Here are the possible endgames...

1) There's no evidence of any wrongdoing.  This is a non-story, and won't really be covered at the national level.  The perception of those outside the Syracuse media market will be that SU had some sketchy stuff happen and the local government helped cover it up.  Bud Poliquin can be as eloquent as he's able in explaining why that's not the case.  But if a tree falls in the woods and nobody's listening, does it make a sound?

OR

2) There's evidence of wrongdoing.  This is a story, and will be covered heavily on the 6:00 network news on the heels of the PSU case.  I don't need to explain the fallout from this one.

In the meantime, the story is "The King of Syracuse kept the police and DA from properly investigating a crime"

No good can come of this, no matter the outcome.
