Nifong conduct rebuked early (DukeLax DA was warned)

This is key:

The accuser in the Duke lacrosse case used sex to assault the members of the team. Everybody knows the extensive damage that she has caused. However, other than the minor crime of filing a false police report, she has done nothing wrong. She is free to assault another victim. If she had not been caught by very expensive attorneys, she would have received millions in civil suits. She could use her children to attack a victim and it would be legal. If they attacked a teacher and instituted a lawsuit against the school, the taxpayers would have to pay it. The laws should be changed from no crime at all to a felony. If this is difficult to believe call your representative with the North Carolina State Legislature.

And, I think this is exactly the approach Coman, et al are going to take. Slam Nifong, exonerate/excuse CGM.

These bogus types of lawsuits and the pinwheel have been going on throughout America for many years. These can be called by other names: reparations for race/gender/class issues. The primary beneficiaries are liberal lawyers, MSM, and Democrat Politicians.

The lawyers who went after Rush, were they punished? no. Did Bill Cosby get any recompense after being falsely accused? Did the chick get punished? No.

By not appropriately amending the "legal" parts, potential accusers like CGM are "encouraged".

Thanks for all your postings on this thread. Quite an edumacashun.

What does it take to get a corrupt politician indicted?

Make sure he has an "R" after his name.

According the parents in the 60 Minutes report, Nifong knew the DNA did not match the 3 Lacrosse players several days before he filed charges against them. They wondered what basis he had for filing charges, as, apparently, he or police investigators have ever even interrogated the 3 accused.

One professor commented that Nifong dug a hole, and when he found the case falling apart, he kept digging.

[Locomotive Breath]

We shall see if the new prosecutors have that attitude.

[Carolinamom]

Coleman's comment that I thought particularly damning: Nifong was "indifferent to justice".

[Locomotive Breath]

I thought that his comment the other day that "Nifong is mooning the justice system" was even better.

Not much if he/she is a Republican.

A miracle if he/ is a Democrat.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

What's wrong with what that parent said? I hope they put Nifong through legal hell the next several years and financially reduce him to the condition of a bag lady living out of a Giant Eagle shopping cart.

And they have the money to do do just that to this cretin DA.


If it were MY kid, I'd se to it Mike Nifong never ever recovered from this and I'd harass him though civil courts for decades.

Boyfriends, with semen in her rectum and vagina?? The proper, clinical term is "johns."

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

They're ALL the bad guys and all three should be financially ruined in civil court.

While we're at it, each and every one of those imbecile brainless liberal "professors", (remember, those who can do-those who CAN'T teach.) who signed that statement in the papers should be individually sued for libel.

Destroy them all....here's a great chance to teach academia to keep their mouths shut.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

be glad they're rich and can do something about it.

Arrogantly or not...and it IS a war. One Nifong should be a smoking-crater casualty of.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

She belongs in jail, too.

And she will burn in you-know-where forever over her sinful LICENTIOUSNESS.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

The new prosecutors just have to say two words and get out of it easy.

"Charges dismissed."

[Locomotive Breath]

Unfortunately, now that the "reset" button has been pushed we're starting over at square one. They have to pretend that CGM has credibility and then go from there, etc.

[TomGuy]

I noticed the Duke President was really doing a dipsy-doodle dance.

He knows lawsuits are coming. He was hoping to head some of them off by 'inviting' two of the accused guys back to classes.

These families have so many potential lawsuits, they can make a career of them (pending statutes of limitations). It would seem they have cases against:

Nifong himself,
the County DA office,
the city police,
the DNA lab,
the University,
various University professors,
the accuser (at least maybe they could attach the $$$ Jesse Shakedown Jackson was going to give her for her 'education').

Heck, they might even have a good case against Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

They would even have good grounds for lawsuits against the various media, if any of those reports were libelous.

[Sue Perkick]

There was nothing wrong with Rae Forker Evans comments. As a matter of fact I thought she showed commendable restraint. These families have been put through unbelievable agony for almost a year now over something that is clearly a blatant lie. She sent a message to several people. Hope they got it.

"Today we settle all family business..."

[Sue Perkick]

LOL!

Maybe. And perhaps this is Nifong's attempt to delay the inevitable coming against him.

But, with as much nationwide attention that this case has already received, I don't think the political powers (local and state) will want to prolong this, thus, put themselves in an even worse position. They are in danger of this becoming a Federal matter. If they impede or prolong it, they could find themselves facing Federal charges.

I hope the political powers have determined to put this case to rest in a hurry. And that means a quick review of the evidence (or lack thereof), a determination that there are no grounds to pursue against the boys, and open the checkbook and hope the families are willing to settle out of court.
