Abandoning The Duke Victim
By Alton Maddox Jr.
January 25th, 2007
.
For daring to pursue a Black woman's rape charges against white males Nifong is being driven out of town and the practise of law
A recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal was titled The Michael Nifong Scandal. This description defies logic.
A scandal has a moral connotation. It would apply to the pedophiles in the Catholic Church who masquerade as priests.
This term should have no relationship to a prosecutor seeking justice for a sexually abused woman of African ancestry. To be sure, a prosecutor charging white, privileged males for the sexual abuse of a Black woman is unprecedented. Thus, Durham District Attorney Michael Nifong is a traitor to the history and precepts of white supremacy.
In 400 years, no white man has ever gone to prison for raping a Black woman. Either Black women are not sexually attractive to white males or Black women find white men sexually irresistible. The former is untrue. See Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hennings. The latter is also untrue. See Melton A. McLaurins Celia A Slave.
On Sunday, 60 Minutes claimed that the Duke rape case is unraveling before our eyes. This is also untrue. Instead, the legal system is destroying Michael Nifong before our very eyes. The North Carolina General Assembly and Congress are holding the hammers.
In only one other case, in American jurisprudence, has an attorney been destroyed amid a criminal proceeding. The New York Legislature and Congress were holding the hammers. This is a breach of the separation of powers doctrine.
It was People v. Sharpton wherein a grievance committee gave me the option of doing in my client, Rev. Al Sharpton or else. I chose or else. It would have been unethical to do otherwise. The hammer was designed to undermine Sharptons rights under the Sixth Amendment.
Only two attorneys in the history of American jurisprudence have ever sought to secure justice for Black females raped by white men. The modus operandi has been the same in both cases. In the Duke case, CBS-TV is leading the charge. In the Tawana Brawley case, CBS-TV also led the charge aided and abetted by the New York Times.
Blacks demonstrated in front of CBS headquarters for weeks while this criminal enterprise was engaging in media defamation against a fifteen-year-old girl, a victim of white terrorism and sexual abuse. It is in CBS genes.
Pre-trial publicity is not new to American jurisprudence. It is usually designed to poison the community against the accused before trial. A potential jury, therefore, sits as junior prosecutors. In the Duke case, prejudicial, pre-trial publicity is aimed at the victim. The media took the same approach in the Brawley case. Nifong did not indict those three Duke lacrosse players. A grand jury in Durham County, North Carolina indicted them. CBS should target the grand jury and review the grand jury minutes before recruiting a lynch mob for Nifong.
Since the indictments are still in play, a judge must believe that where there is smoke there must also be fire. Otherwise, the indictments, in the Duke case would have been dismissed months ago. A judge and not a prosecutor has the authority to dismiss an indictment.
Unlike the credibility issues in the Duke rape case, there was no eyewitness testimony and no scientific evidence including DNA to connect six boys to the rape of the Central Park jogger, Patricia Meili. Nonetheless, CBS was organizing a lynch mob against innocent boys. An admission alone is always insufficient to establish any crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
Yet, five of those six boys were falsely imprisoned for years and the New York Court of Appeals upheld those baseless convictions.
In order for an indictment to be dismissed, there must not only be insufficient evidence of the top count of the indictment but also the lack of evidence of lesser-included offenses. So far, the judicial system must believe that something happened. To be sure, something did happen.
Typically, there is always overcharging in the drafting of accusatory instruments. The mere fact that a count of the indictment is dismissed is not equivalent to pronouncing a suspect either legally or morally innocent. These players are certainly not choirboys and they are, at least, presumptive racists.
These players engaged in identity theft to secure the presence of two Black strippers for a KKK-type rally. They gave false names to the escort service. The escort service was never told that two Black females would have to perform before a white mob of drunken, racist hooligans. This is criminal fraud.
Strip joints employ bodyguards to protect strippers because it is well-known that a mob of drunken and unruly males will, biologically, take matters into their own hands. These females have civil claims in addition to criminal prosecutions. In addition, there is no question that these racist jocks hurled racist epithets at these women. The use of the word nigger to degrade a Black person is, in itself, an assault. This lewd atmosphere reeked of white terrorism and gave rise to sundry hate crimes.
The most important question in this case, based on biology, should be answered in a court of law. After the white lacrosse players watched this Black female shake her butt and private parts, in a sexually arousing fashion, did their white phalluses come to attention? Being full-blooded males, what made the phalluses come to at ease? In other words, what happened next? This is the answer that North Carolina is seeking to cover up.
The media and the defense lawyers in the Duke case have misled the public. In every lawsuit, there are two methods of proof: direct and circumstantial. Of the two methods of proof, circumstantial evidence is the strongest. No need exists for direct evidence in this case.
The complaining witness purportedly inconsistent statements are a reflection of problems of class and race in this society. In 1997, before a national television audience, Eliot Spitzer actually commanded Rev. Al Sharpton to change his story by boycotting his own defamation trial.
He did except when he was ordered to appear by the plaintiff, Steven Pagones. Attorney Johnnie Cochran, an ancestor, was the host of the Court-TV program. Sharpton was behaving the way any Black person is expected to behave in a white supremacist system.
When a Black woman accuses white men of rape, all bets are off. Warfare ensues. Anyone who seeks to protect a Black female victim had better prepare for a life of poverty. Gov. Spitzer and his mentor, Robert Abrams, are of this view in New York and no self-respecting Black female should support them.
Before the Civil War, courts routinely ruled that it was legally impossible for a white man to rape a Black woman. Today, through media and politics, most Blacks still embrace pre-Civil War law. This results from brainwashing. See The Manchurian Candidate. The only antidote to propaganda is critical thinking.
An effort is afoot to stop effective advocacy by Black lawyers. I need your support immediately to fight off impending disbarment in a protracted struggle. The federal litigation is on appeal. Please send any expression of support to UAM Legal Defense Fund, c/o Alton H. Maddox, Jr., 16 Court Street, Ste. 1901, Brooklyn, NY 11241. The struggle must continue. Asante sana. WHO WANTS TO BET THAT THE "ACCUSER" WILL SEE A DIME OF THAT 'DONATION'..

Tawana Brawley now goes by ....

Rev. Curtis Gatewood served four terms as president of the Durham branch of the NAACP from 1994 until 2002, when he moved to Oxford, North Carolina. During that time, he distinguished himself with what the (pre-Bob Ashley) Herald-Sun termed "racist cant" on Durham issues and with extremist views on foreign policy. He urged black males serving in the Army to refuse to participate in the war in Afghanistan, bringing a rebuke from then-NAACP national president Kweisi Mfume.
Gatewood has resurfaced to denounce the North Carolina Bar Association for joining "the lynching mobs in Durham who have verbally lynched and sought to politically assassinate DA Mike Nifong" as part of a "conspiracy to disrupt justice in this Durham case should be obvious." The media are participants in the conspiracy as well, since Gatewood contends that âit is unprecedented that the alleged criminals and/or their defense team will be given the luxury of such a high-media platform to repetitiously proclaim their 'innocence' and attack their prosecutor."

Sharpton, Maddox and Mason ignored the facts as they repeatedly implicated Pagones in the case, beginning in March 1988. The three men said Brawley was kidnapped and raped, and that racial epithets were smeared in feces on her body.

The Reverennnnd William Barber is the scheduled preacher at Duke Chapel on Jan. 28.
Who is the jerk who wrote this? At first, I thought it was satire from "The Onion".
Oh, never mind. This post tells us all we need to know about Maddox.
Will he want to prosecute the boys from Tarleton College who were having an MLK party wearing fake dreadlocks and eating fried chicken?
"Where da KFC at?"
The 400 years statement is blatantly false even though many white men DID get away with the crime long ago.
If I were Mr. Maddox,I would have read my"black sister"the riot act and said something like this to her-
Sister,have you NO self respect?You go over to a bunch of drunk white frat boy's house shaking your laffy taffy and you think thats all good?Then you complain and whine when the party gets out of hand.Then you want to drag the whole Durham black community into supporting your hoish little ass when there are a hundred other issues more important to us.Wake up,my sister.
THATS what I WOULD have said.
Excellent post.
People who want respect need to earn respect by being decent, upstanding, and lawabiding. No matter their color.
Right.This woman demands respect but acts in such a sleazy way that no decent person could defend her.
What pains me is that she evidently has a couple of children who will one day find out their mom is a little slut.
It really cheapens the civil rights movement when cases like this and Tawana Brawley are associated with it.
I also must say that the lacrosse players need to do some moral reappraisal also.They are at one of the elite universities in America and come from pretty nice backgrounds.To lower themselves into the gutter by hosting a "stripper"should be beneath them.
I agree that the young men behaved badly...sinfully, even...but not criminally.
If they want to be future leaders, they, and all young college men, must start behaving respectfully and decently.
For real.
Saw your Neitzsche quote.Got one similiar of his you might relate to-
"We possess art lest we perish from the truth"
"The Reverennnnd William Barber is the scheduled preacher at Duke Chapel on Jan. 28."
More importantly, the Chapel Bulletin tells us Rev. Barber is currently an adjunct professor at DUKE Divinity School!

See page 6. I hope he gets sued along with his NAACP.
"If they want to be future leaders, they, and all young college men, must start behaving respectfully and decently."
My father grew up to be a respected leader, yet he had a little knot over his left ear from a shorepatrol's blackjack during a shore leave in Baltimore in 1943.
>But hey, we all know blacks cannot be racist. Racism can only come from those who have power.<
So why can't I tell black jokes or use the "n" word? I have no way to use power in those areas.
(/rhetoric off)
Apparently this clown has never heard of Kenneth Starr. And I also agree with other people on this thread and their opinion of this bigot. If Mr. Maddox were white, he'd be wearing a sheet and burning a cross in someone's yard on a Saturday night...
I dated a very cute Black woman once. She made as much noise at me as red-heads when they are mad. Women are women. I like to tease them all up. It's big fun!
Briefs: NAACP event to focus on 'HK on J'

The public is invited.
"HK on J" -- or Historic K (Thousands) on Jones (Street) is a call by the state NAACP to progressive and civil rights communities to support a 14-point public policy strategy aimed at shifting North Carolina political action to more closely match rhetoric and reality.
Today's event coincides with the Leadership Executive Certified Training for NAACP local branch leadership and on the day of the NAACP's 23rd Annual Humanitarian of the Year awards banquet.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization.
