(CBS) The three Duke lacrosse players indicted for a rape they say they didn't commit are indignant over the effect the charges are having on their lives and their families.

In their first interviews, they speak to Ed Bradley this Sunday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Which paper, FL?

[fabriclady]

In Durham's, Herald Sun, go to letters.

[Neverforget01]

How does any attorney support a DA who brings indictments without an investigation?

[old and cranky]

ok, I should have kept reading and I would have seen that you already knew the club she is dancing at.....sorry

[Howlin]

Okay, I'll find it.

This was in the N&O in a Letter to the Editor:


"But the context in which these violations occurred suggests that the rights of both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrators may have been placed secondary to other considerations by those conducting the investigation."

Well, I missed the entire thing. I had the DVR set to record it and for whatever reason, it didn't record. This is not the first time this has happened when it was set to record from a local network affiliate station.

I will just be damned. No repeat, either, unless somebody knows of somewhere else it will be aired?

[old and cranky]

tryton said he took his "white girlfriend" with him...but do you really think you could stomach it?

[ltc8k6]

"Nancy Grace will probably have cousin Jakki on."

Crystal already skewered Jakki over the $2M offer story. Skewered officially in the police documents, I mean.

A vote for Nifong

---

I am sick and tired of people who accuse Mike Nifong of using the lacrosse case for political gain when they are using the case for their own political purposes. Let's put this mess into perspective. I am a long time Durham defense attorney. I have never tried a case against the district attorney. I have tried cases against Jim Hardin and Mike Nifong when they were assistant district attorneys (ADAs). The vast majority of cases are resolved between defense attorneys and ADAs. Sure the DA needs to understand the law and trial work so he can supervise those working under him, but the ADAs carry the load. Any DA is only as good as the people he gathers around him. He is primarily an administrator not a trial lawyer. He runs an office of several ADAs and a large support staff. Durham County has some of the most experienced, capable, and accessible ADAs that I have worked with. Nifong may have made mistakes concerning the lacrosse case, but he has done his job as an administrator by gathering around him people who do good work. Can we be sure that Lewis Cheek or Steve Monks or whomever the governor might select will surround himself with excellent ADAs? Neither candidate has addressed any issue but the lacrosse case. I will not vote based on a single case. I will vote based on the thousands of cases handled capably each year by the ADAs in Nifong's office. I will vote for Mike Nifong.

Probably not, but I might "take one for the team," if you know what I mean...........LOL.

[Howlin]

Look in 402 and around there; NeonKnight posted the whole thing!!!!!

[SarahUSC]

Jez - you can see it online - neonknight uploaded most of it, I think. The link is somewhere in this thread

[McGavin999]

I didn't see it. I just got home from the neighborhood meeting and saw the thread and thought I'd catch up on it.

[fabriclady]

Must be the ole buddy system. They're liberal buddies, and we know now the libs will overlook anything to protect their own.

[Howlin]

Look in 402....there's a link to it there!

[Dukie07]

Ditto what you said.

In a perfect world, six months from now when this travesty is history, I envision a "60 Minutes" segment that starts out, "Remember last October when we reported on the prosecutorial misconduct in the Duke Rape Hoax? Well, look what we have since found out about Mike Nifong...."/rose-colored glasses

[fabriclady]

Yea!!!!
That's it.

[Howlin]

No, it's this one:

[Jrabbit]

And what is that nasty, skanky sore on the mutts knee??? Leprosy?? She is without a doubt a "dirty legged woman"! (that was my daddys way of describing a loose moraled woman) LOL
