Please forgive me for asking this, but who or what is "BO"?

[abb]

Why, it's the Bloviater himself, Bill O'Reilly

I took the leak/release of the voice tape of the first policeman who saw her in the Kroger lot as a preliminary sign the police had not signed on with DADA.

[panthermom]

Both of my brothers are cops, one actually a detective who works sex crimes. They're disgusted by the whole thing. This DA is blind with ambition and doesn't care who he takes down.

[TommyDale]

Oh, that BO. I don't watch that any more. I guess since I was out last night, I must have missed some good stuff. A detective is leaking info that undermines Nifong? Too funny! I see the local poll results show that Nifong is trailing, and has higher negatives than favorables. Awww...

[Polybius]

Lawyers almost never speak in such a direct way about a case. It has to be a slam dunk.

Don't be so sure.

O.J juries can acquit an obviously guilty man because of his race and convict an obviously innocent man because of his race..........You know, like the liberal news media does.

[Locomotive Breath]

Well, they were criticizing him at a pre-election forum for his handling of the case. Of course, everyone there including all three candidates took it as a given that the lax team was guilty even though the DNA had come back negative. I think there's only so much they can say and still appear professional.

Here's one site and you can read about Shelden Williams' experience with rape accusations as a high school senior all-American committed to play for Coach 'K'...

I live in Iowa where really REALLY good highschool kids have been removed from the prom court and forbidden to play baseball just because a year old photo surfaced of them holding beer cans. If just a year old photo can change so much than just the fact that the lacrosse team team had a druken party with a stripper should ruin these college students. And NO means NO means NO! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO OR WHAT A PERSON HAS DONE IN THE PAST! If the stripper said NO the guys should have backed off.

So let me get this straight! Because these young men were engaging in what you consider immoral behaviour, they deserve to be falsely convicted of rape???? If they are guilty of rape, of course they should be convicted, but where is the evidence of this crime?

There seems to be plenty of exculpatory evidence.

" O.J juries can acquit an obviously guilty man because of his race and convict an obviously innocent man because of his race..........You know, like the liberal news media does."

Very good point. Too bad in this day in our country race transcends the law with many juries.

[windcliff]

Thanks. I'm always looking for it first thing in the morning.

On other forums, which I won't disclose, involving retired and active cops, it's universally agreed Nifong is A. Nuts, B. Stupid C. Malicious.

It is everyone's fervent hope that the officers involved are doing the CYA bit. Violating someone's civil rights under color of authority carries some serious prison time. Witness the sentences at the Rodney King affair. Sixteen months, mostly at half way house for an incident that took place in the heat of passion. Now consider Nifong has financial reward for his errors and is supposed to be a trained and edumakated professional. Add in the fact he's ignored offers from the defense to see evidence establishing these lads innocence. Oh to be a fly on the wall there!

This DA is blind with ambition and doesn't care who he takes down.

I think you're right about that. I also think there's more to it. I have liberal acquaintances who live in fantasyland. They are absolutely blind to any facts that don't fit their beliefs about politics, race, gender issues, etc. Nifong seems to fit right in with them. He's Don Quixote of the left, out to slay the privileged white windmills on the lacrosse team.

[panthermom]

Removed from the "Prom Court" - indicted for "Rape", I believe the boys removed from the prom court with go on with life unscathed. Being indicted for rape with no evidence is a whole different thing.

My California father-in-law assured me that O.J. would be acquitted because of his race. At the time, I though he was really out of touch with modern-day reality and stuck in the 1940's.

I'm older and wiser now.

You know what's scary, think of the jury pool of Durham.

[JLS]

NeonKnight, It seems that ccwoman does not understand why people are discussing who the woman is in this case. Hence the no means no response. ccwoman seems to have:

1. missed the idea that some people doubt that a woman of her past and occupation would have said no but rather how much you willing to pay.

2. bought into the leftist idea that confuses commercial disputes with rape. If someone has sex with a sex professional and then does not pay, it is not rape though the left loves to yell rape if the do not like the accused, but rather it is a commercial dispute and theft of services laws are the appropriate action against the accuse.

Just goes to show when you buy the arguments of the left, sometime you don't clearly think through what others are saying.

[connectthedots]

Is he waiting for the second round of DNA test results? Will he sit on those test results until after the election?

If the second round of DNA tests helped the DA, we would know about it by now.

"Also, he called the cab at 12:04am"

Everyone else says 12:14am. Is this new information?

[TommyDale]

"You know what's scary, think of the jury pool of Durham."

What I find even scarier is the GENE POOL in Durham!
