I wonder if you are as miserable as you come accross?

3.Facing civil lawsuits and a criminal trial, NiFong puts a bullet in his head.

That's not too far fetched, he was a draft dodger during Vietnam.

[Ohioan from Florida]

There's another prominent case besides this one that's bringing out the cockroaches, too. Where's the RAID when you need it?

[chesley]

I wouldn't be so fast on that. God knows what Nifong said or did to her to manipulate her to make the accusations she did. In fact, we might find that the accusations she made bear little resemblance to the charges Nifong came out with.

Actually, those words weren't mine, and should have been italicized as a quote from the poster that I was replying to.

My words were encompassed solely by the last sentence of my post. Sorry for the mix-up.

[chesley]

Just as a thought, don't you think that just consequences should be somewhat proportionate to the actions? Do you actually consider that the nightmare that these boys have gone through, for no reason, is proportionate to hiring a stripper, or even using the N* word? Which these are the guys that did it.

[chesley]

And you seem to be in the wrong place and the wrong time with the wrong ideas.

[chesley]

And now that they have paid the consequences with $100,000, how about we let them off the hook and start with some consequences for the criminals, the stripper and the DA.

Being lied about, by the way, is not a "consequence" of anything that you may have done. All blame lies with the liar.

Hard to believe that you seem to be incapable of grasping this point.

[chesley]

The only way to "heal" that community is to cut out the cancer, Nifong, the stripper, numerous people associated with Duke university. Then some heavy chemo onth Jesse Jackson and the other race baiters.

She deliberately accused non-existend people of rape, for the purpose of avoiding being confined in detox.

I don't care if she accused 'little green men', if she hadn't made the accusation Nifong wouldn't be involved. She is just as guilty.

[Sue Perkick]

Beats anything I've ever seen.

[HoosierHawk]

Dear sitetest,

Regrettably, there is no allowance in the law for hanging this SOB.

Hear, hear!

[Krodg]

I should have read back before responding...sorry.

[Sue Perkick]

Oh yes. Very true.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Typical lib professor!

Libs have such trouble with cause and effect. She now says she was not penetrated because the DNA evidence showed that these young men did not. The very DNA evidence that was withheld that has now come to light caused the effect of her changing her story (i.e. lying) once again with another story. Professor Kennedy, it does not strengthen the case it totally discredits the case.

I don't care if she accused 'little green men', if she hadn't made the accusation Nifong wouldn't be involved. She is just as guilty.

She bears some of the blame, sure. But were it not for the grossly unreasonable actions of Nifong, there might have been no case, either. On the other hand, Nifong's actions suggest a strong disposition toward railroading innocent people that some other circumstance may well have occurred had this one not. It may never be possible to know, ultimately, how many people owe their freedom to CGM regardless of her intentions.

Nifong is toast he embarrassed the gov. who appointed him,end of story.

In a perfect world, what you said would be so true....

I wonder what roven thinks should happen to the most unholy among all the players: Crystal.

[xxqqzz]

I think this is also a big embarassment to the DNA laboratory. If I was a defense attorney, I would use this to question any DNA evidence from that lab. If they witheld information in this case, they may have done it is others.

[snarkytart]

still think this is what's gonna happen.
DA, "I object Your Honor! The rape charges have been dropped. Any testimony or evidence regarding those charges are no longer pertinent to this trial."
____

What? Noway will this be left out if there is a trial. Of course the judge will allow the accusers written statement that she was raped in as evidence. It goes to impeachment and credibility of the accuser.
I do not know why people think because the LAX players are no longer charged with rape all the statements about rape are now not allowed.
