I'll bet Nifong, deep down, is thinking a very big "UH OH" right now.

"The current governor of North Carolina is a Democrat, and that party is still dominant at the state level. That should say a lot." Yet we elected two Republican U.S. Senators by large margins in the last two elections. Go figure.

If I were one of these young men and their families I would be outraged. One of them gave up a job or internship because of these trumped up charges. Their names have been drug through the mud and their lives have been put on hold. I throw Niphong and the tramp in jail and sue til the cows come home. I cna't even imagine how much stress these men and their families have endured. This is total BS!

To: leilani
but surely you expect that the accused & their families will be hitting him with civil lawsuits, don't you?
The probably will, but I doubt they'll win them. The truth of the matter is that in this nation, if a DA doens't like you, he can charge you with something and probably get a conviction. And if he knows he can't get a conviction, he can ruin you financially by dragging the trial out. People frequently lose their homes in such cases.

He's stalling because he has NO CASE. He never did, and he could have dropped it at any time. He kept it going to win the primary, then more facts came out but he kept it going to pass the independent candidate filing date (June 30), and now he's keeping it going until after the election. He's hoping for a graceful way out, to say that, upon further consideration of the facts (like talking to the accuser), he now realizes that there is not enough evidence to prosecute.
It's all been about scaring contenders away and maintaining his viability at the polls.

"I've had conversations with (the accuser) about how she's doing. I've had conversations with (the accuser) about her seeing her kids," Mike Nifong said. "I haven't talked with her about the facts of that night. ... We're not at that stage yet." But you were at the perfect stage to arrest the young men you believe raped her?! Incredible.
He's just giving the accuser's atty more time to prep her so she'll sound good in the deposition.
What a load of manure this case is.

This creep thought that white guilt and black fake-rage would be enough to convict these innocent men. He was wrong.
He bears the responsibility for ruining the lives of these men.
He will never be made to set things right.
The men will bear the burden all their lives.

Kalee to Nifong....we passed what should have been "that stage" a LONG time ago.

More often than you know.
My kid was thrown face-down in the hall at high school, marched out of school in hand-cuffs, held in jail for 24 hours, all because the dip-sh*t Dunn County DA forgot to sign a document 3 months before, dismissing a charge. No apology, just a paperwork mistake, little wonder anyone has so little respect for the legal system.

Oh, I beg to differ with your pessimism there. Too much press attention on this case & too many people who would be expected to defend his suspicious prosecution of this case are now jumping ship. (60 minutes, case in point.)
He knows he's in trouble & he knows he's gonna have to come up with a story for a jury in at the very least a civil court which will explain to them why he was willing to press charges which were obviously bogus from the get go.His defense now: I didn't even bother to interview her so how could I have known her story changed every three days?
I s'pose we'll have to wait to see how this plays out, but, tell ya what, I'll buy ya some of that funky NC BBQ if he doesn't land in at least civil court over this.

Not for "no reason". They were persecuted for being rich white kids in a town with a large black population and a prosecutor seeking re-election. If the stripper was white and everything else was the same, Nifong wouldn't have persued it.Thanks for the reminder to never have any of my kids apply to Duke when they approach college age. If the local crime rate don't get ya, the D.A. will!
