The News & Observer has been a Nifong cheerleader since early in the case. The loss of its support is a huge blow to him.

Read KC Johnson's blog for more.

Duke LAX ping.

What a detestable human being!

He should be not only removed from the case, he should be removed from society and put into a jail cell where he belongs.

[DrGunsforHands]

The tide...it is a turnin.

I hope this Nifong fellow steps in it bigtime. He has ruined the lives of many young men on charges that everyone knows are bogus. This guy deserves to do hard time for what he has put these three young men through.

The RN&O can only produce so much chicken salad. Also, the RN&O did cover how the LAX scandal was hammering Duke University.

Nifong needs ten years in general population with the guys he put it, that would be justice.

Is Joseph Kennedy a regular columnist for the NO, a guest columnist, or what? Is there any indication of any change on the part of the editorial board at the NO?

This looks like an opinion piece from a law professor, not an editorial by the paper itself. Too bad, sounds like this guy Nifong is trying to frame innocent kids.

I will be the first to admit that although I took an "innocent until proven guilty," attitude when this first broke, I was inclined to believe that where there's smoke there's fire. Now I'm convinced, this has all been smoke.

Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong belongs in prison for 20 years, no possibility for parole.

[Post-Neolithic]

Which also puts in doubt any other case, this human excrement tried.

No, no, no. Nifong and the Judge need to see this through. If it gets dropped right now, nothing will happen to them. They will all say it was just mistakes and misunderstandings.

If they push forward though, they will end up in jail :)

But I fear that they are going to go into CYA mode and let this whole mess drag on for years.

I called hoax on this the first time I heard it reported.

Shortly after the news broke, one of those "support rallies" was planned and Al Sharpton was scheudled to make an apperance.

When Sharpton cancelled I knew it was a hoax. He couldn't handle a 2nd Tawana Brawley incident.

We might as well move here?

Joe Kennedy is a prof at UNC law school which is Mike Nifong's alma mater. Earlier in the week...

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Nifung should be in jail.

[JLS]

Sorry but professor Kennedy's faux objectivity does not impress me. As many have said, change the race of the accused and the accuser and all these faux objective academics would be dropping their faux objectivity and demanding this case be dropped and Nifong jailed.

Whether the defendants in the Duke lacrosse case are guilty or innocent

This is gratuitous, the paragraph reads perfectly well without it.
