VICTORIA'S police force is riddled with "deep-seated and continuing corruption" that will only be flushed out by a powerful and wide-ranging royal commission.

Council Approves Probe of Poli
DURHAM, N.C. — A former state Supreme Court justice was selected Friday to lead a panel that will examine the Durham Police Department's investigation of the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case.
Mayor Bill Bell proposed the 12-member panel, which will be headed by former Justice Willis Whichard. The panel also includes four former or present police chiefs in North Carolina, and each of the seven city council members will appoint a member.
Bell and others have said a previous report prepared by the city manager and police chief didn't sufficiently address their questions about the department's actions in the case.
Bell said that report failed to say whether police or Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong was in charge of the investigation. Nifong recused himself in January amid ethics allegations tied to his handling of the case, and state prosecutors dropped all remaining charges against the three indicted players in April, calling them "innocent" victims of a "tragic rush to accuse."
