There are four victims of District Attorney Mike Nifongs twisted tactics in the Duke Lacrosse case.
The first three, of course, are the young men who never would have been charged with anything had Nifong adhered to the standard practices in his own office. With luck, they will ultimately be exonerated, and be able to move on with their lives, albeit after having endured a chapter in hell.
The fourth victim is unlikely to be so lucky; she will not be exonerated at trial, and she will not be able to move on with her life. She will be destroyed by this case, and while she is partly to blame for that herself, the other part of the blame rests squarely on Mike Nifongs shoulders.
The woman is a liar. That is the English translation of the latest round of maneuvers, in which the prosecution dismissed the rape charges because the woman could no longer say, as she once did, that she had intercourse with three men at the party. In other words, she lied when she said she did.
The challenge for defense attorneys, in dealing with a woman who cant remember whether she had intercourse with three men on a day when she must have had it with two others (to judge from the DNA on her body and underwear), is not to hit so hard that you provoke sympathy.
If she cant remember now, how come she was so sure then?

What you and Susan Estrich do in private is really none of our business.
It's not as if the woman hasn't LIED about rape before either!
Actually, it is probably an insult to whores.
It was a dark and dreary night, and the fog permeated throughout the graveyard, where Susan was just climbing from her crypt for an evening of fun. Suddenly, from the adjoining crypt, jumped.....
Susan Estrich is wrong. The Fourth Victim is all the women who will actually be raped and will be reluctant to testify because of the bungling of this case.
Happy Hour too.
I agree with your assessment of this sad situation. But that's just too bad for this woman. She could have stopped this right from the beginning.

I hope she spends her life in penance for what she has done to an entire nation. And she sure has.
Those ethically challenged DA's must be like old bananas - they're yellow with bad spots and come in bunches.
Susan Estrich is wrong. The Fourth Victim is all the women who will actually be raped and will be reluctant to testify because of the bungling of this case.
Worth repeating.
Really???
And now you have nailed.....that is exactly what I was thinking.
Estrich was supposedly raped many years ago.
And now you have nailed.....that is exactly what I was thinking.
Crystal won't be "destroyed". She will move on & it will be business as usual.
But that title is really disturbing.
Estrich still has to answer for calling Broaddrick a liar and refusing to speak with her.
Where can the poor wronged stripper/... go to get her reputation back? Who is going to hire her now? Her career is ruined!
Sorry, but the fourth Victim is our JUSTICE SYSTEM!!! Why have NO OTHER PROSECUTORS DAMNED HIM??
She will be destroyed by this case, and while she is partly to blame for that herself,
The false accuser is completely to blame and needs to spend some time in jail for making false charges.
There are a plenty of men who have had their lives destroyed simply because a woman/girl makes a FALSE claim of rape, improper touching, etc. It happened to a local school teacher in Gaithersburg, MD a few years back. He was vilified by the press. A few weeks later the kids admitted that the charges were false but that didn't help the guy's ruined reputation. There were plenty of front page accusations. Not many front page exonerations.
But this case has nothing to do with rape other than false accusations of it. Would that really be dear to Susan's heart in this case?
