The subsection "Group of 88" has multiple problems. First off, it says "Holloway played a central role in the Duke lacrosse-team rape case". As far as I can tell, Holloway had no role at all in this criminal case. Her involvement was peripheral at most. It is also claimed that "Holloway conceived and was a signatory of the “Group of 88” statement". The source used for this statement does not even mention Holloway. I was unable to find a source for the claim that Holloway conceived of the ad (but I didn't try very hard). The rest of the section mainly consists of long quotes from a single source and includes a quote from an unreliable source (a web forum). This section needs to be pruned down to verifiable and neutral facts. Nigel Pap (talk) 22:14, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The source for the information is Yaeger, Don, and Mike Pressler. It's Not about the Truth: The Untold Story of the Duke Lacrosse Case and the Lives It Shattered. New York: Threshold Editions, 2007. Holloway's role is discussed on pages 121-8. She certainly was central to creating the "group of 88" ad. She had no role in the legal process. Paul B (talk) 09:18, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
