Mr. Nifong did that. And an expression of remorse: he did that too. <BR/><BR/>And it shows willingness to make amends, to the extent possible.<BR/><BR/>I agree with J-in-C's point: this sould entail Mr. Nifong explaining not only his part in the Hoax/Frame consipiracy, but the roles of others. While Mr. Nifong was the lead bad actor, he was far from the only one. No others have been called to account for their misdeeds.<BR/><BR/>Of course, unlike the lacrosse players, their families, and the Presslers, I was not injured by Mr. Nifong. But I wonder what the aggrieved parties would think.AMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872008617279528583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-80268527498888536602007-07-27T11:24:00.000-04:002007-07-27T11:24:00.000-04:00"Nifong has had chance after chance after chance t..."Nifong has had chance after chance after chance to admit what the world knows....nothing happened.

Buchanan Blvd."<BR/><BR/>Parse it carefully - he's retaining the right to claim that "Something happened, I just got the wrong three guys." and "Those three know something and they're not talking." He can make a good living peddling that line on Wendy Murphy's road show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-20161697668632652822007-07-27T11:21:00.000-04:002007-07-27T11:21:00.000-04:00Nifong has had chance after chance after chance to...Nifong has had chance after chance after chance to admit what the world knows....nothing happened.

When you are of average IQ and you're trying to frame 3 innocent people, and you've got to get accomplices in the DPD , the media and academia, well it really would be a "difficult" task. Nifong saying it was "painful" refers to his realization that his frame-up had failed. That really hurt him. This dog has no redeeming social value.<BR/><BR/>SweetmickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-13190838634400275632007-07-26T20:32:00.000-04:002007-07-26T20:32:00.000-04:00I am 100% sure this so-called apologyis part of a ...I am 100% sure this so-called apology<BR/>is part of a calculated<BR/>forgive, forget, and move forward <BR/>strategy.

Nifong should come forward with the evidence of abuse and implicate the DPD and Duke in the abuse.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, this is only the start of the apologies that should be coming.
