Nifong and the accuser should have to do hard time for the pain they have caused innocent people. How devastating, both financially and psychologically to be falsely charged and the possibility of having to go on trial where one might face an OJ jury and end up with a long prison term.
Actually, the OJ jury acquitted someone who was probably guilty, although given the break-in of the Ford Bronco, I would have had to vote to acquit myself. Once the chain of custody is broken, the evidence is no good.
What the lacrosse players really have to worry about is not an OJ jury but an Amirault jury, in which MA prosecutor Scott Harshbarger convinced twelve people who were too stupid to get out of jury duty (there's no other explanation for the verdict) that the defendant sodomized a child with a huge butcher knife but left no permanent injuries, and also that a robot that looked like R2-D2 was present during the proceedings.
What Nifong has to worry about is the fact that no literate person who has read Durham's newspapers, or for that matter anyone who has been following the news, will believe him or his witnesses in any case he brings to court, even if the defendants are actually guilty. If Nifong told me that X had murdered Y, I would at this point question whether Y was really dead.
They could already get the Accuser for something, i just looked it up and she reported she only got 1,400 dollars in income last year on her tax report. TAX FRAUD...oh shes also a registered democrat.
