"this case is not going away..."
I'm guessing a jury will have the last say on that, not you.
Yep, let's just keep flogging that dead horse.
"No charges have been filed in the case, but Nifong has said he believes a crime occurred at the March 13 party, which according to court records was attended only by lacrosse players."
Sounds like the crime that occurred may have been on HER part. If that's the case, I certainly hope they file charges.
"What a joke. The woman, according to the tests, DIDN'T EVEN HAVE SEX. Where's the crime?"
The crime is in the false allegations made by the complainant. She should be vigorously prosecuted.
What is going away is his reelection chances, he had a lot staked on the race card.
No, actually, DNA tests don't conclusively prove that, or that a crime didn't happen, but this sure doesn't help. The DA seems to be not entirely objective about this case, though. Just in the last few days, he promised that DNA would prove a crime.
Of course it's not going away. The feminazi's and race pimps have had a field day persecuting the guys on the Lacrosse Team and now that they've got their teeth in they don't want to let go. Sheesh...
That's the problem. It's beginning to look as though this is not about the Duke University Lacross players. It's about an existent racial tension in Durham and the DA is exploiting it to win re-election.
To be fair, I still don't know what happened that evening. Until now, it seemed to me something may have happened, but now I wonder. But whether it did or not, this case, or lack thereof, should NEVER had been in the media like this. This DA has now trapped himself and he really has to prosecute it or totally lose all credibility--and the next election. If he prosecutes and loses, he can blame it on the jury.
The president of Duke University ought to resign for not supporting his institution. He's behaved shamefully. What a dreadful president.
the gal came in with injuries...no DNA match....sounds like she got mad at these guys...and so she accused them of gang rape...NO evidence this accusation is true whatsoever...what's with this DA anyway
This clown made his announcement at a political rally for black Democrats. If that doesn't disqualify him from this case -- and from the bar -- I don't know what does.
Being a rich white male(first impression).
What is he doing? Is he crazy? This was an after-thought set-up to extort money from these students and nothing more. They ought to sue her for defamation and the DA ought to bring charges of false reporting. Absurd. Obscene. Ridiculous.
Doesn't the DA realize that if he were to Win this case in spite of the lqack of DNA evidence, he would be screwing up the chances of his "Brothers" getting out of prison based on any new analysis of DNA evidence that proves they were not the ones perpetrating the rape and/or murder?
He is playing with a Two Edged Sword here.

The need a Grand Jury. But which of the "White Boys" do they charge?
Well then, who does the DNA belong to?
WHERE'S KIM?
One of the new lines now is that the negative DNA results were a direct result of a conflict of interest. The conspiracy is that the tests were done at Duke University Hospital and not at UNC Hospital in order to whitewash the results.
