About time. Guilty until proven overwhelmingly innocent.

Didn't Finnerty already announce that he would not be returning to Duke?

I dont know who the kid is from Long Island, but he said he wont return to Duke. I wouldnt either until Nifong the Ding Dong is out of office and makes restitution to all 3 kids.

For some reason this reminds me of the thread I just read about Mugabe inviting the white farmers back.

Trying to head off a lawsuit, perhaps?

They should also receive retroactive full ride scholarships along with some other compensation from Duke U.

They should be given every opportunity to make up the time and credits they missed- at Duke's expense. If Finnerty wants to transfer, Duke should pay for it, at least for the two semesters they were kept from completing their education. As an alumnus, I feel we owe them that and so much more.

You know normally I am on the side of the accuser. But in this case, it was FISHY from the very beginning. I am hopeful that the boys will have their reputations restored and the stripper and the DA will be punished.

Does the jurisdiction have "recall" elections, by petitions?

Duke alumni must be a pretty well heeled bunch. Ought to be fighting mad, that the local jurisdiction LE did this on flimsy evidence. Ought to be all out to get Nifong out, by any method available under the law.

Why would anyone pay that university the kind of money you have to pay to be there to be treated that way? Don't blame them.

"Why would anyone pay that university the kind of money you have to pay to be there to be treated that way? Don't blame them."

That is precisely why the Duke applications dropped by 20% this year. Other universities in North Carolina are also down, as a result of Mike Nifong and his psychotic behavior.

When Nifong gets disbarred and it's all over, which I'm starting to think may happen sooner rather than later.
