At a forum early Wednesday evening, the three candidates for Durham County district attorney fielded questions about law, morality and the community. But all roads seemed to lead back to an ongoing rape investigation involving an exotic dancer and Duke University's men's lacrosse team, and the nationwide attention focused on Nifong and his handling of the case. "The reason that I took this case is because this case says something about Durham that I’m not going to let be said," said Nifong. "I'm not going to allow Durham's view in the minds of the world to be a bunch of lacrosse players at Duke raping a black girl from Durham."

Wonder who is starting to really worry about Durham's image?

'Wonder who is starting to really worry about Durham's image?"

The folks who have and are investing Hundreds of millions of dollars
in the new American Tobacco complex and other downtown projects.

"I'm not going to allow Durham's view in the minds of the world to be
a bunch of lacrosse players at Duke raping a black girl from Durham."

I always thought this meant they were innocent.
