Throw this b*tch in jail along with her defense lawyer.....

Why am I not suprised at any of this

Well, the alleged victim and Mike Nifong.

[ClearCase_guy]

I wish the investigation would just drop the Duke students entirely. Just arrest Nifong and the woman and investigate the hck out of them for the next couple of years.

Time to prosecute the dancer, Nifong, and time to begin restoring the reputations of these boys.

Hard lessons need to be taught in this case in order to avoid future political witch hunts.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"Nifong has said he hopes to try the suspects together, possibly beginning in the spring of next year."

The real reason for the delay in the trail start is to put distance between the publicity and the inevitable loss for the prosecution. Nifong is playing this to the hilt for his political advantage. In a just world he should be recalled and disbarred instead of being part of "OJ Justice II."

No kidding. I think it is obvious to everyone except Nifong that this girl made the whole thing up.

[Ninian Dryhope]

The case against the Duke players is worthless. The good lawyers that the player have hired will tear this case up. There is no chance that anyone will be found guilty of rape in this case.

Memo to D.A. Nifong regarding your wish to try them together:

Wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which hand gets full first! This fool knows he doesn't even have a case but continues to make himself look stupid! Why?

If you book an exotic dancer, make sure she's white.

"About 36 hours later, the woman told investigators she had been raped, sodomized, beaten and strangled by three men in the bathroom at the lacrosse party house, according to police affidavits."

Not only was she completely trashed and changed her story multiple times, there is no way possible that the attending physician would have failed to spot physical signs on her body if any of these events had really happened.

I've been saying since the beginning that this entire thing was a hoax and I still stick to that. It's not only an election-year race card ploy, it's a witch hunt against three young men with no proof whatsoever they attacked her.

One of her multiple stories is that she was dragged into a bedroom.

"Wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which hand gets full first! This fool knows he doesn't even have a case but continues to make himself look stupid! Why?"

He's obviously a Democrat. The nature of the charges is more serious than the evidence to support them, so lets prosecute these rich white boys and everybody a lesson!

[ishabibble]

I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that even under a broad definition, Nifong's handling of this non-case is prosecutable misconduct. Unless there is an OJII jury, this entire stinking mess will get tossed out, but the big question now seems to be, why is Mr. Nifong risking his career over something so completely flimsy?

[SE Mom]

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

[Malacoda]

Unfortunately, there is no complete restoration of their reputations after this. It's a sad fact that once a man has been accused of rape/domestic abuse/what have you, even if it is concretely proven to be false, people still hold it against him.

As an aside, I'm convinced that Nifong would prosecute his mother and grandmother if it would get him a few cheap headlines. What an utter @$$.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Sad to say, but this doesn't surprise me.

Thought you might be interested in this, Alia.

Have you been watching Dab Abrams on MSNBC go nuts over this? That prosecutor better have a smoking gun that he is unlawfully withholding or he needs to drop this crap now.
