Many would say true and that's how most on the looney left look at the whole thing. I also believe that's why Nifong thought he could pull it off.
Here's a perspective from an atty. who has played D1 lacrosse. Keep in mind that the President of the University slandered thes kids within 48 hrs., by "apology" e-mail to alumni, fired coach Pressler summarily, and their own weenie left wing student newpaper was on the same tack. When the girls lax team wore "innocent" badges, opponents considered those to be "fightin' words". Nearly everything wrong with Academia today is contained in this one case. As for Nifong, he is a crooked politician, plain and simple.
