And then there's jesse jacksons point of view. Reward the girl whether she lied or not--she must have been a victim of racist something or another somewhere along the line.

It's an excellent article. She has this exactly right. When Estrich isn't being crazily partisan, she has a fine, legal mind. And she has come a long way on this case. Nifong will have a problem in the legal community after the dust has settled.

No,no,no.
It doesn't matter if she was a victim of racism. It's payback for the racism against her 'ancestors'.

"And what would have happened if the District Attorney had waited to go to the grand jury, followed the identification procedure, let the test results come in, found out about the boyfriend and investigated enough to learn that one of the suspects had an airtight alibi?"
He quite possibly would have lost his reelection bid conveniently held just weeks prior to the DNA tests coming back negative.

Boy Estrich really nailed this one down. I usually d/n care for her viewpoints but she does understand the ramifications of this travesty over in RDU.

Susan Estrich has got this right and it seems to me that Nifong is possibly guilty of prosecutorial misconduct.

She's written an excellent article here. Thank God I can see and read the print version rather than having to listen to her voice <<>>

I disagree. Here's why:
"Conservatives will be outraged that three boys' lives were ruined because an ambitious prosecutor believed a lying "slut" (as in the nuts and sluts defense), which will be played to a fare-thee-well."
Conservatives (as well as anybody else) should be outraged because of prosecutorial misconduct. Estrich is backhanding conservatives as people who are quick to mischaracterize alleged rape victims as sluts.

...wasn't that twisted logic from the fecund brain of "The Reverend" Al Sharpton...? in re: the Tawana Brawley case....? I believe his (in)famous comment was something to the effect that "well, it COULD have happened...!!".... yeah, maybe "Reverend Jessee" thinks along the same lines....

I'm shocked. I never thought that voice would be the voice of reason. But she nailed it.
Thanks for the ping!

Susan Estrich finally realizes that Nifong is the enemy. She was taken in by him. It would be funny if it weren't such a miserable debacle.

She will always be a partisan hack. This case has been questionable from the beginning. It doesn't take a fine, legal mind to figure it out, it just takes common sense. Maybe that explains why it took Estrich so long to see the light.

"I never thought that voice would be the voice of reason." You mean that screeching "drag your fingernails across a blackboard" voice? LOL!
