I nominate this headline for the most incomprehensible award.
"The State's cases rested primarily on a witness whose recollection of the facts of the allegations was imprecise and contradictory," the report said. "This alone would have made it difficult for a prosecutor to prove the allegations. However, with additional evidence uncovered in the new investigation, it was clear that there was no credible evidence that these crimes occurred at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. in Durham that night."
Gosh, I hope this report doesn’t sully CGM’s reputation. /S
Not "there is"...but "there was" no evidence. Rot in hell, Nifong and Sharpton.
Never happen, here’s why:
Sharpton: You guys were innocent? Tough t*t, this sh!t happens to black men all the time. How’s it feel white man?
To the one, that’s what all those race baiters are thinking.
An apology? What have you been smokin boy?
(1) The supposed assault occurred on March 14 2006.
(2) 20 days later - April 4 - it was already obvious that Mangum's story was completely out of whack with the exsiting evidence. Nothing in her version matched the hard photographic and timestamped data they had.
(3) It was already obvious that Mangum was (a) severely impaired with as many as five different drugs in her system on that night and (b) that she had a criminal record which included making false claims.
(4) Despite the fact that there was no evidence to support Mangum's story, and despite the fact that she was an unreliable witness whom no sane prosecutor would want on the stand, the DA went ahead anyway in full knowledge that he had no case.
It is clear that the DA not only suppressed DNA evidence illegally, but that he sent an investigator in to Mangum to help her concoct a more plausible story and refresh her memory using photographs - and that the investigator lied about what occurred in his report.
Nifong should be in prison.
If you go to this web page, there is a video on Mr. El Mustaffa, a cab driver who provided an alibi for one of the accused students. His account was corroborated by a time-stamped picture from an ATM machine showing one of the boys just as Mustaffa reported.
Nonetheless, the original DA’s investigators pressured El Mustaffah to change his story, and threatened him legally. It looks like a very obvious case of corrupt law enforcement at work.
El Mustaffa comments that he just tells the truth, “and everything will be all right.” Let’s hope so; and our respects to an honest man who comes through with his reputation and livelihood intact.
A guy who works at a North Durham strip club phoned in to a local talk radio show about 11 months ago and said he remembered when this same Crystal Mangum came in to audition at his club. He says she danced around wildly and out of control. They asked her to stop and she kept on dancing. They shut off the music and she kept on dancing. They had to physically remove her from the stage. When they went back-stage several minutes later they found her lying on the floor, still dancing. A total burn-out.
To lie and present or make up false information is to "Rather" a story.
Intentional disregard of fact and an attempt to frame the innocent is to "Nifong"

CGM Rathered her story so her victims would be Nifonged into prison.
