A must-watch documentary on the 10-year anniversary of this shameful chapter of American jurisprudence. I have to hand it to ESPN for taking a clear position on this - Nifong, Mangum, and the mainstream media were all villains in this farce. A few of the subjects this documentary interviewed infuriated me for their refusal to accept reality; however, for the most part the director got it right.

Yes, excellent documentary. The 85 Bears one was also excellent.

These young men were railroaded by an incompetent prosecutor. The accuser should have never been believed in the first place.

I saw this last night. It was tragic what Nifong did to those kids. I never saw anything about apologies from the liberal faculty or administration who went off half-cocked when the allegations surfaced.

...most important of all, how a media-obsessed country so much wanted this story to be true.

I'd have phrased it, 'a Media obsessed with pushing racial division and strife, so much wanted this story to be true.'

Yep, that’s the liberal world alright.

The stripper/whore who lied about the gang rape is doing 14+ years for stabbing her boyfriend to death. So, she has that going for her.

I don’t have cable, but of its available online, I’ll watch it. Amazing it’s been 10 years.

I’m looking forward to this because ESPN was in the forefront among the liars. I wonder if they’ll be honest about that.

I suspected Ms. Mangum was lying when the media interviewed her father who said “If what she is saying is true...”

IF??

Her own father can’t be sure she’s honest? That clued me right there that she wasn’t being truthful. If Daddy won’t even stand behind her, that’s all I needed to know.

Fantastic Lies on YouTube

Not the best format in the world, but watchable for those of us that do not have EPSN.

There was a tremendous amount of politics (campus and Democrat/Republican) in this incident.

Yep, I just happened to be on ESPN - which almost never happens. Must watch, for what the gov’t can do to you if they want to.

Ok, I saw this last night. Initially I thought, “Huh? They are going with the whole lib agenda?” But the director was very careful and set up these idiots perfectly. Even the reporterette who wrote the column against the team had to recant and apologize (although fat lot of good it did later).

Two thins stood out: 1) these young men are far better men than I. I would have been bitter, vengeful, and not rested until Nifong was in a cell next to a child rapist; and 2) many of the initial critics STILL did not get what they had done, even after they admitted they were wrong. The “out of court” settlements, I hope, were enormous and severely dented Duke forever. But I doubt they did.
