I have no<BR/>connection to Duke or lacrosse, but<BR/>have followed this case from day one. Ironically, Mr. Nifong has<BR/>done an equal injustice to the Afro-American community in Durham.<BR/>They are being insulted by his<BR/>support of a woman who insults<BR/>the intelligence and integrity<BR/>of those who do not need his<BR/>disingenuous efforts which are<BR/>only for himself in the end.<BR/>The young men who have been so<BR/>falsely accused should join forces<BR/>with their upstanding citizens in<BR/>the Afro-American community against<BR/>the attack that they have both<BR/>suffered by this pathetic looser-<BR/>Mike Nifong. Our society is so<BR/>much better than falling to the<BR/>level of his ignorance.Keep up the<BR/>good work - I hope your writing<BR/>receives many accolades. Good investigative journalism is such<BR/>a dying art.

Their accuser and prosecutor/persecutor are not.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Neff's article in The News & Observer is a sign that the worst is over for the Duke Three and the time is coming from their accuser and Mr. Nifong to experience agony.<BR/><BR/>The North Carolina Democrat establishment has to cut its losses. Mr. Nifong, don't expect continued protection from the big bosses. The abomination gag order was your last gift. In the future, it will be short shrift. You can't justify what you did, so, of you, they must be rid. To Durham's Diabolical Duo (yes, Crystal and Mike, that means the two of you!), the day of reckoning will come by Fall. The most you can hope to do is stall. At the Duke Three, you shamelessly took your shot. Succeed, it did not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1154897536952083992006-08-06T16:52:00.000-04:002006-08-06T16:52:00.000-04:00If I may John, I will post an amalgam of three sep...If I may John, I will post an amalgam of three separate comments made by me way back on April 09, 2006. There are other comments as accurate throughout the history of this travesty, but I have permission from the author to use mine.:)<BR/><BR/>The below amalgam is in response to your item and other comments, so they might appear a little disjointed, however I think they will show that this fraud Nifong is committing never had the appearance of legs of legitimacy upon which to travel to trial. <BR/><BR/>This was obvious early on. Only those seeking to profit from racial unrest were interested in pushing this. Which is a subject for another post sometime. Herewith the amalgam of comments:<BR/><BR/>"The truth about DNA testing is that it has freed more accused AND convicted than it has manage to convict.<BR/><BR/>It has long been touted as the definitive answer to identities of subjects.<BR/><BR/>The lacrosse team is available to be DNA tested, the evidence has been sent to a lab for testing. If they find no match, but had evidence to test and access to the suspects, that means they have the wrong suspects.<BR/><BR/>That as they say is elementary, dear Watson. <BR/><BR/>Sounds to me like the prosecutor is alerting the alleged victim that he doesn't believe in the strength of the case and forewarning her that she may have to testify falsely against the accused if they both are to reap the benefits.<BR/><BR/>They obviously had evidence or they couldn't have sent it to the lab. I would think that seeking a conviction against suspects the evidence might clear would be a crime in and of itself. His warning to the alleged victim would appear to be conspiracy to commit a crime. Conspiracies can happen in public if disguised as something else. <BR/><BR/>We don't know that the evidence will exonerate the suspects. It may well incriminate them. But surely conspiracy to commit a crime if it does not, is a crime of its own.<BR/><BR/>I think a lot more questions should be asked of a prosecutor that says he could pursue a conviction against the evidence. <BR/>yep, AC, hence my comment about a conspiracy to commit a crime so that both accuser and prosecutor can enjoy the benefits.<BR/><BR/>Also, explains my comment in another thread reminiscent of Tawana Brawley.<BR/><BR/>We'll know more when all the evidence is made available. Which is why it strikes me as amiss that plans are already being laid for proceeding if the evidence is exculpatory. Something stinks here. <BR/>Do not get me wrong. If the evidence indicates guilt on the part of the accused, if they are ever identified,they should be punished mightily.<BR/><BR/>However, so should this prosecutor. He is not relieved of responsibility for an immoral and illegal plot to "pursue charges" if the evidence clears them. <BR/><BR/>So even though it is still possible that the evidence will indict the accused, that possible fact only constitutes good fortune for the prosecutor and in no way diminishes his guilt for planning to commit both an immoral wrong and a legal trespass and the abuse of power of his office."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1154893714463618692006-08-06T15:48:00.000-04:002006-08-06T15:48:00.000-04:00I think you should include LieStoppers in your lis...I think you should include LieStoppers in your list of blogs.

My Thoughts NIFONG DROP THE CASE BEFORE YOU LOOK LIKE THE D.A. IN N.Y. 10+ YEARS AGO. I forget her name bur her initials are T.B., and Jessi Jackson go home and close your checkbook.
