Disgraceful Nifong should depart
Star News Online ^ | 27 December 2006 | Star News

Posted on 12/28/2006 7:14:25 AM PST by cougar_mccxxi

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.

I find it hard to digest that a person who took such great lengths to misrepresent the "initial" lab findings, which only he has had since April or May 2006, who avoided releasing the full DNA report, presented a letter from Meehan in open Court opposing release of same calling it a "witch hunt," and who lied in open Court to Judge Smith, stating he had released all copies of the lab reports, forgot to release such reports. It is simply not logical, and I doubt that Judge Smith, who sat in the hearings with Nifong, who claimed he had released all DNA Reports, then opposed the release of such with a letter from Meehan, and is then caught in collusion with Meehan about what to release and not to release will be believed. It is simply not credible.

And all those years as Assistant DA were by political appointment including his present DA gig. He wasn't going to lose and played dirty.....real dirty. I now think the first judge is "dirty", too since Grand Juries usually follow the judges "direction". Don'tcha wonder at the makeup of that jury...hint, hint.

Unless Nifong goes to jail justice will not be done.
Obviously Nifong is not going to jail.
Therefore, justice will not be done.
A few more whitefaces sacrificied on the altar of political correctness.

I believe there is no judge in a grand jury setting. The grand jury meets, the DA presents prima facie evidence of a crime and the grand jury either votes to indict or no bill. [Prima facie evidence is just enough on first look to believe a crime was committed.]

Also Wendy Murphy. I saw her this week on Bill O'Reilly with guest host Michelle Malking trying to defend Nifong. She claimed something about there being a team member who supports the accuser's claim.

Is Nifong following up on the DNA left by five men, one or more of whom might have assaulted her? Or is he protecting those creeps? Someone in his office or police department? A nonwhite lacrosse player? As I understand, DBA was taken only from white players.

I'm afraid nothing will happen, but evidently the powers that be in North Carolina have had enough.

Many post ago I posed two questions to Nifong:

1. What are you hiding?

2. Who are you protecting?

One small part of question number one was answered when it was discovered that he was withholding exculpatory information from the defense. But essentially, both questions still need to be answered in full!

"Nifong doesn’t owe an explanation to the readers of a national newspaper

That's not true .. he does owe an apology and in every national and international newspaper, magazine, tv and radio station .. he pimped this into a case that was covered worldwide. The lax coach lost his job, the young men are smeared with this for life (before their lives even really started). Oh, he owes BIG TIME. Screw the morons in Durham who elected him... they got exactly what they deserve.

Documents and statements reveal, according to The News & Observer, that “Nifong has repeatedly misrepresented his actions in filings and in face-to-face dealings with judges.”

Why do these cowardly judges who have been lied to by Nifong simply sit there with their thumbs up their rear-ends? Who prosecutes the prosecutor? At least the State Bar is doing something (finally) but what weight do "ethics charges" carry? Are they as meaningless as they are to Congressmen?

I'm reminded of the 88 luminaries on the Duke faculty who signed a petition in support of Nifong.

I'm thankful to not be paying tuition to that Duke dump.

They are guilty..they are white...and male

They are "winners of life's lottery" and for that they must be punished.
