inappropriate alright!

I mean he presented his reasoning for this case continuing to go forward in spite of no DNA being found, the "victim" was able to identify the Duke boys in a lineup.

Well duh! Mr Prosecutor, nobody denies they were all at the same party together! It's not like they boys would be HARD TO IDENTIFY!!! It wouldn't take much of a memory for this stripper to recall them out of a police lineup. It proves NOTHING!!!

District Attorney Mike Nifong, however, continues to insist he believes the alleged victim was sexually assaulted and claims she was able to identify one of her attackers last week

See how ridiculous this statement really is?

What I don't understand is that the search warrant names the three supposed attackers by first names, yet the DA is now saying she can only identify one, and she only did that last week. Why is it weeks into this investigation and no suspects from the original 46 have been eliminated? Added to the DNA, it becomes apparent that they don't have much of a case.

Let's say that she was raped. We can't pick three players from ramdom and convict them because they were at the party- without a positive ID or physical evidence, there is nothing to go on. What's scary is that the community is out for blood and if the DA did no more than pick three names out of a hat and charged them, he could get a Durham jury to convict. That is why we must continue to follow this case closely- a miscarriage of justice could occur if responsible people are not vigliant. You have to wonder how many times it happens when the cameras are off.

Right. It would be odd if she couldn't identify a few of the guys. But she was wasted at the soiree, wasn't she? That could have effected her sight and memory.
