Well - I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!

But then again - NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Look, I don't have to defend myself here, too, guilty until proven innocent, etc. Nor do I have to give myself a case of post-traumatic stress disorder by dragging up for your amusement every sordid detail of the worst four years of my life.

But look at the Duke case - You have seen the evidence - you know what a dog this is. But Nifong has plenty of defenders! And not just the pot-bangers - Nancy Grace, Wendy Murphy - former prosecutors have been giving very active support! The MSM supported his actions for a long time, and the NYT and the Herald Sun see nothing wrong with what is going on here.

There is a huge segment of society and a huge segment of the "justice system" that is twisted beyond belief. If a person walks into a courtroom, whether it be criminal, civil or probate, they have a right to expect fairness, objectivity and impartialness.

That, however, is NOT what they are going to get.

How much more evidence do you need?

Sad but true. It's naive to think that trial is going to magically prove them innocent.

You brought up the details voluntarily. I simply asked a few questions to fill in a couple blanks. But if you don't want to answer questions, I suggest you not bring up your personal experience to begin with. It's kind of Nifongish to only want to tell certain parts of the story.

You made a claim that corruption took place, but you didn't specify in any way what form that corruption took. It simply sounds like things didn't go your way until the very end, and you attribute that to corruption. That's an easy charge to make, but if you have nothing to back it up, it's just hot air.

I've already said I believe you, so there should be nothing traumatic about our discussion that you didn't bring on yourself voluntarily.

Nothing you've said is "evidence". It's opinion based on your view of your own unfortunate episode and this case, and your opinion consists of broad, sweeping statements, nothing more. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but please, don't try to pass it off as fact or evidence of being rampant throughout the country. There are thousands upon thousands of criminal prosecutions every year. Two cases do not make a national crisis, especially when one of them was primarily a civil case.

BTW, I was not asking you out of amusement, simply the need for clarification on the corruption claim that you made and still haven't backed up. But that's fine.
