A question for Correll
In her letter of August 30th, Debrah Correll says she has a question she would like to ask Nifong, point blank.
I have a question I would like to ask Correll, point blank. How would you like for your daughter, if you have one, to be beaten, gang raped and sodomized?

Let's rally for Cheek
Kim Brummell in her letter of August 28 asks voters not to focus attention just on the Duke lacrosse case. However, a search of Durham County court calendars for the past 12-plus months indicates that this is the only case District Attorney Mike Nifong has handled since being appointed DA. Prior to being appointed DA, Nifong spent many years in traffic court, also not trying criminal cases. Therefore, the Duke lacrosse case provides many voters their only view of Nifong and, what an ugly view it is.
True, in the beginning most citizens were outraged at those "hooligans" and that "blue wall of silence." Outraged that anyone would treat anyone the way Nifong so publicly alleged, Durham citizens rallied together.
However, then the DNA evidence came back and many began to question. Since then, most of the claims Nifong made to the media during those first two months proved false. In his words, "I would say there were some things we hoped we would have in terms of evidence we ended up not having."
Shouldn't we expect the DA to have evidence in a case before seeking indictments?
The N.C. Bar Ethics Rules: "A prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister of justice and not simply that of an advocate; the prosecutor's duty is to seek justice, not merely to convict. This responsibility carries with it specific obligations to see that the defendant is accorded procedural justice and that guilt is decided upon the basis of sufficient evidence."
Durham voters rally once again. Vote for Lewis Cheek. Recall Mike Nifong
