Right, Bryant did not settle a criminal charge. He could not. But the case against him did collaspe just as the trial was about to start. That is not untypical in such cases.
No one except salivating evil ones wish any repeat of the LA Riots. The "gnu" black panthers, the whole scene, set, camera crew involved with this Durham case needs exorcism. Or extradition to their planet of origin.
They oughta charge that strumpet for trying to ruin these guys lives.

yucky....
"So does anyone know if performing a pregnancy test on a potential rape victim is a common procedure? I have no idea, but if others know, I would be interested in hearing about it."
Having been employed at Wash. U./Barnes Hospital Dept. of OB/GNY years ago, it was standard protocol both at Barnes and before that I was at St. Louis University Hospitals -- it was standard protocol there as well. Since they provide most of the Docs. in St. Louis, at least here in St. Louis is was standard then -- assume we haven't changed.
I agree 100%
This whole case was merely about Nifong winning the election, and to do that he had to have the irate black vote which he got. The only question is why he keeps prolonging the inevitable.
It won't hold, and because the field the America haters think they are playing on, doesn't exist in real time.
The Dream and the Nightmare.
At one time I would have politely ignored your opinion -- about four years ago -- now, I have to say you may be entirely right. I have never seen such an assault on young, white males in my nearly 60 years. This is frightening me and it scares the hell out of my son and his friends. Son says he feels as though he has a huge target painted on his back. I know it's residual from the fright we experienced, but in some ways, I think he may be right, too.
Nifong is now prolonging this because it keeps him from going in front of bar hearing for misconduct.
Thank you. I remember this.
You may be right, but I have tried to be fair -- even when we went through the same thing. I sort'uv believe that as long as the Accuser wants to testify, they have to go forward. Even if the D.A. has his/her doubts, it's the system we have. Once perjury is committed, there is something to go after. The important thing is to let the system do it's work, but it's such a crap shoot -- with juries (esp. in Durham) -- it's hard to get through to the end and there are no guarantees that you'll win. It's all how a jury sees it and if you have folks who would knowingly imprison someone just to get even, then there's no way our system can work.
"Nifong is now prolonging this because it keeps him from going in front of bar hearing for misconduct"
There are at least 100 very bright people on this thread, figuring out all the angles.
Nifong may not be as smart as we first believed. Conniving, but not too bright.
"the truth shall set you free" is non-partisan
Charges are dropped all the time whether or not a victim wants to go forward. The victim is not a party to the criminal action. It is the people v. John Doe. Nifong is the people for this purpose.
The only reason he is continuing this is he fears, bar sanctions, personal liability and possible criminal liability. The NC bar has already said they won't have a hearing until the case is over. A law suit if filed today could not go forward until the case were over. Thus prolonging this stops everything execpt the Department of Justice investigation.
Well, then, so much for my trying to be fair. Hang the SOB! ;-)
Thanks for the info. Off topic, my daughter is at Wash U. now, freshman year, and she loves it there!
Haven't read all the thread yet, but did y'all know this?
