Newsweek initially was ready to string the players up before trial. They seem to have reconsidered.

Perhaps they finally read some of the actual evidence?

Nifong clearly had other priorities than the impartial enforcement of the law; no doubt he has political ambitions and was seeking to play to his fancied electorate. He should travel to Massachusetts and work for Tom Reilly, that state's Attorney General. Birds of a feather...

Newsweek is Pravda on steroids. Time and Newsweek are liberal media outlets bent on the destruction of American society to please their communist masters!

Newsweek did initially participate in the witch hunt. After all, the mantra of the wackedout media is that white guys are guilty until all chances are removed.
Now they backtrack in the face of overwhelming evidence, but as the last line of the story makes clear, the damage has been done and Newsweek along with the City of Durham has destroyed reputations and must pay a high price for their destructive actions.

Sometimes a law suit is justified. I'm not a lawyer and don't watch them on tv, but something like a wrongful prosecution seems possible. There was a lot of slander taking place as well. I loved the comments from some of the so called "black leaders" who were sure that the white players were guilty simply because a black woman accused them of rape. As much as I don't like Dook, maybe the players can hire Freda Black. She seems like she would enjoy the opportunity.

I heard Even Thomas on NPR today, discussing this article. He shounded like he'd been reading the FR threads, only he was even more sarcastic about Nifong. Needless to say that was VERY surprising.

Are DAs ever actually charged with prosecutorial misconduct? I hear threats about it all the time, but it does not seem like it happens very often. Seems to me that, like judges, they can pretty much do whatever they want and there are no consequences.

Since the dancer's word is now considered questionable, why doesn't Nifong test the DNA of the only lacrosse player not tested so far.

I think the prosecutor and the "victim" should be sued for slander along with other damages.
There should also be criminal charges against both.

I hope this is a cover story -- their original report was.
To: All
In the material turned over by the prosecutor, defense lawyers found a note that the accuser had been unable to pick Evans out of an earlier photo display composed of Evans and several "fillers," or strangers. Whether she was able to identify Seligmann or Fin-nerty out of other photo displays is unclear. So you show a line to someone with fillers. Then you show them one without fillers. I would guess you would recognize someone the second or third time around. Plus these kids pictures were out there.

According to their lawyer, Mark Simeon, the accuser's parents have not heard from their daughter for weeks and are very concerned.
NYT 6/08/06
The woman's father said in an interview Thursday that she was seeing a psychiatrist and was in no condition to testify. "I don't know how long it'll be before she gets back in her right frame of mind," he said. "It could be years."
