I want the guys cleared too. If this were happening to my brother I'd want him cleared to the fullest extent possible. I wouldn't want him going through life under a cloud. The question is, how do you make that happen?
I agree that it would be a good thing if Crystal would throw Nifong under a bus and claim he pressured her into going forward. If she just drops out though that leaves Nifong room to say - hey, I would have won the case but she's just too traumatized. That's not good. I think they'd have to pursue a a civil action of some sort, or maybe what Dukie07 is suggesting - I've never heard of that before.
A trial would expose the truth but be an ordeal. I have a feeling it would be long and drawn out. And you can't predict a jury although I find it impossible to believe Nifong could get all 12 jurors to convict. I don't relish the idea of them going to trial. I just want them to get their reputations back. Somehow. I want them made whole again.
Skip a criminal trial. Let some of the unindicted players sue the AV in their home states. That will put things on the record. And keep the 3 from having to endure even more
court proceedings.
Unfortunately there aren't many options open to them now that Nifong has forced the issue, are there?
