Didn't Nifong say something early on in the case that it didn't matter if there was no DNA evidence against the defendants? Before DNA testing was available, a case like this would often have been one person's word against another's, with the jury to decide who is lying. Nifong can claim he believes the accuser...and if he can get 12 jurors to believe her, it doesn't matter if the rape happened or not.

This case has the potential to cause a lot of distrust and lack of confidence in our legal system generally, on the part of tens of millions of Americans. But how many are even paying attention? Has the MSM given any attention to the latest developments? I get most of my news from FR and FNC...the brief times I have switched to one of the enemedia stations they are on some other topic.

I don't know about "generally" but certainly the North Carolina legal system.

All those snow birds driving south on I-95 will be verrry careful not to speed in that state. They could get Nifonged.
