“He’s not sharp, nor civil, nor right”

I love it. Great line.

Why? What was the driving force for his actions? Doesn’t make sense.

I heard he was facing a tough primary challenger. I must admit to not following this in any way that resembles "closely". But that is what I read.

There’s a lot of blood in the water on this one, and Duke and the city of Durham are looking at legal liabilities big enough to shut both of them down. The potential is there for having the entire liberal power structure at a major university basically decapitated.

The university sure was quick to throw the three students to the wolves. Perhaps it’s time for them to apologize for their rush to judgment.

It would be a great day if they actually had to pay a price for their hit and run smear, but we know that these people never do. They are free to ignore facts and constitutional principles that do not conform to their ideologies. “after all” they would claim, “even if it wasn’t true in this case, we’re still right...” These are truly nauseating individuals, who not only wouldn’t give their own the benefit of the doubt, but ignored sacred American tenets to stab the accused in the back. Damn them to hell.

I’ve always wondered if he, his staff, or members of the police force were customers of hers. I followed the case closely for nine months, and the chief of police conveniently “disappeared.” The reason was that his “mother was sick.” We FReepers found that a bit odd.

Not just the three students, but the entire LaCrosse team and the coach as well. The coach has grounds to make himself independently wealthy.

I hope Brodhead is made to pay personally for his culpability.

I wondered the same thing. There had to be more. After his win, Nifong could easily have dismissed the case. Instead, he deliberately, knowing the players were innocent, continued. And who are the men whose DNA was found on Crystal? A great cover-up there.

President Brodhead should be fired. Surely there is a clause in his contract that allows for the removal for such incompetence.

Saw Rev Al interviewed by Chris Wallace on Fox this morning. He STILL refuses to apologize.

"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us"

Some Reverend he is ay? Wolf in sheeples clothing.

The timing of Imus remark and the dropping of charges in the Duke case is a cosmic alignment setting the stage to display the rabid hypocrisy of these blinded fools.

“A great cover-up there.”

Yes, and furthermore, why have they decided not to prosecute her? Simple.... they don’t want her to talk.

Once again the Media refuses accountablility. When proven wrong (which is most of the time) they just ignore it and move on to their next big lie.

the reason these two keep going is that because they are BLACK, and loud, they get a pass on everything,
if they were WHITE and uttered those words about a black man who turned out to be falsely accused, they would have their credibility trashed, they’d be apologizing to whomever would listen (see imus), and then vilified
and fired anyway

until, they are treated equally to us lowly white americans, an held to high standards, they never will get their just rewards

Go for it. I’ll donate.

Actually, I have read elsewhere that he needed about 3-1/2 more years to vest for a pension.

However, one of the people running to be the DA was a women who he was on the outs with and who would probably not have kept him on if she won.

Thus, the need to run to be “reelected” DA. OH, and the white boys be dammed.

I hope he, and Durham county, are sued for every cent they are worth. And then a little bit more.

The media could have stopped this at any time if they had been willing to ask hard questions of Nifong—like, when did DNA stop being a reliable indicator of innocence?

Indeed. The media and various talking heads are completely and undeniably implicit in the character asassination of the Duke lacrosse team via their silence in Nifong's about-face. No DNA linking the suspects? No problem, we'll do it "the good old-fashioned way" instead.

In the quickly-famous "Daily Show" video from Thursday ripping Nancy Grace a new one, they noted her about-face on the importance, oops, the unimportance, of DNA evidence in a violent rape case.
