I was just at the hairdressers and not one person in there believes the stripper and they were all outraged, I mean really ticked off, at the school for not standing by these young men and at the out of control DA.
Who, if anyone, does Nifong directly answer to? Is there no one who has the authority to go to him and find out before the primary whether there is evidence not yet revealed, as all the pundits insist must be the case if Nifong is not a complete idiot?
For the Durham voters to vote on May 2, with no outside authoritative reassurance that Nifong is proceeding in good faith, is not in the public interest. How could Nifong continue as DA if he wins, but is later shown to have acted unethically?
Hi. New poster, but have been following threads with much interest for days. You people rock! Two things:
With respect to how the school has handled this: I support President Brodhead. I think he did what was necessary to protect the other 6000+ students at the school. His response to suspend play was measured; his cancellation of the season was spurred by the email - that in itself was at least as inflamatory to the black community as the allegation was. In all press releases he has professed the need to let due process take it's course. IMO, to do or say otherwise, would not be prudent.
With respect to "injuries" consistent with rape: could a dildo cause such injuries and not leave dna? I know nothing about the escort trade, but might that be something an "escort" would have in their "bag of tricks"? Might account for the missing minutes between when AV left the house and was dumped at Kroger's. BTW, why does a grocery store need a security guard??? Yikes.
While I believe one should never say never, I don't think a rape occurred in that house.
I hope Nifong fries.
