"It does not come from thin air as did the Brawley claims..."

and yet Tawana Brawley was never held accountable for her made up claims.

I think that the case of the Scottsboro Boys in Alabama, though color reversed, is a better analogy here. In that case a white woman made a false rape charge against blacks and the injustice of the trial caused a major fracture in the justice system. The lack of evidence and the obvious attempts by prosecutors to railroad the accused because of their race in order to assuage local fury, look remarkably similar to this case. Nifiong is railroading the "Great White Defendants" to ensure his success in the local general election and to placate the race baiters in the national media.
