Disgraceful Nifong should depart

Mike Nifong has demonstrated that he is not ethically or professionally fit to prosecute a littering case, much less the sexual assault case involving three Duke lacrosse players.

[aculeus]

The article forgets his first name it's DEMOCRAT.

[MplsSteve]

Excellent.

Does anyone know if the Raleigh News-Observer has weighed in on Nifong's debacle?

I'm looking forward to their opinion.

[Nonstatist]

If these lacrosse louts broke any laws, they probably will get away with it

Isn't that sweet?? How about some epithets about the lying, felonious, crackhead whore?? ...Not on your life.

Sounds like the writer has a "guilty of something even if they are proved innocent" point of view. Since he's already figured out that Nifong blew this case, should he be calling the victims of this injustice "louts"?

Has he even considered what sort of payback that Duke, the city of Durham, and the State of North Carolina are in for in the form of civil suits and "violation of civil rights" charges? These kids will win so much money at the expense of Nifong's supporters that they'll go right from graduation to a gated community with a golf club.

Not to mention, the crack about "lacrosse louts" sounds like something that would come out of the brain of a wimpy little journalism major who probably has a hatred of jocks going back to grade school.

I think he should apologize. If not, I think the lacrosse players should play on his childhood fears and beat the crap out of him.

Nifong doesn’t owe an explanation to the readers of a national newspaper. He owes an explanation to the people who elected him. He owes it to the people of this state. But he owes them more: his resignation.

AMEN!

I don't understand why Nifong hasn't been out searching for the real rapists.

With at least five sources of male DNA in her she must have been raped. She claimed she was. No woman in her right mind would sleep with five guys on one day.

(The fifth guy must really be worrying about germs.)

Oh, setting up the insanity defense for her, when "she" is eventually brought to justice for her crimes????

[JustaCowgirl]

If these lacrosse louts broke any laws, they probably will get away with it. No jury in its right mind would believe anything the accuser or Nifong said.

I can just hear the delicate foot stomping.

Sounds like the writer is mostly in a snit at Nifong because he didn't succeed in railroading those 'lacrosse louts' for rape.

two possibilities here: 1) she was indeed raped elsewhere, but she was so addled with drink and/or drugs that she blamed it on the lacrosse players, or 2) she's a common whore who had just finished a regular day's work. Ick.

Why the D.A. should be off the case [Nifong, Duke]

Snort.

[OldFriend]

Seems the whore was already on probation, no?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

What a mess-up.

Duke University should be roundly condemned for so quickly caving, and throwing their students under the bus.

DISGUSTING. All around.

[Sue Perkick]

As well as a public apology to Dave, Reade, Collin AND their families.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

"Hiding behind paper hung over the windows of his office, Nifong issues written statements and refuses to talk with North Carolina reporters. Yet Thursday he gave a three-hour interview to The New York Times."

I assume the person who wrote this editorial has some suspicion that Nifong may not have handled the case properly, but I believe the above statement more accurately addresses her dissatisfaction with the Prosecutor. At least Mr. Nifong has managed to upset everybody in some way or another and there will be continued fall-out. Every time someone stands up to his idea of justice is a victory -- no matter what direction it comes from.
