""In this case, where you have the act of rape - - essentially a gang rape - - is bad enough in and of itself, but when it's made with racial with racial epithets against the victim, I mean, it's just absolutely unconscionable," said District Attorney Mike Nifong."

Yep no bias there! The chief problem, is that none of this has been proved in a court of law. But don't tell Nifong that.

I just finished reading the thread; thanks everyone for the details and observations.

The Newsweek article said the 2 students were charged w/rape and kidnapping. What happened to the charge of larceny published earlier?

One of the articles above had Crystal "ALLEGEDLY" stealing a car. That was a fact, not a claim.

I sincerely hope the parents include Newsweek in their suit for defamation....putting their sons' pictures on the cover of a national magazine....
