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. McLaurin’s “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 Sharpton’s 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'..
So how come "Black" is capitalized and "white" isn't? Isn't that racism? Is this one of those black panther criminal nut-jobs?
It was the author who said it. And yep he is indeed sick in the head.
Pretty twisted to you and me, but 95% of blacks living in and around Durham NC bought it. We have a BIG problem here.
As is so much the case in liberaqlism, their idea of justice is ustilizing the exact same means that they are assailing.
In the several years that I have been a Freeper I have never seen a more uneducated, racist, presumptive, idiotic, tasteless, childish, thuggish screed as this one. The guy actually ties in Precious, Tawana Brawley, OJ, Central Park Wilders all in one giant conspiracy.
This column perfectly embodies the moral, ethical, legal deficiency of the multicultural far-left, in general, and radical black opion, in particular. All emotion, no facts.
WOW!
Nobody is denying that white-on-black rape is phenomenaly lower that black-on-white. The point is the guy claims there has NEVER been a prosecution of white-on-black rape IN 400 YEARS. He is a demagogic liar of the highest order.
circumstantial evidence is the strongest?
Or at least a tenured position in the Black Studies Department.
But hey, we all know blacks cannot be racist. Racism can only come from those who have power.
Anyone who knows ANYTHING about liberalism understands this is one of the basic tenets. And those people in the Sixties, who sucked it all up, hook, line and sinker such as Hillary Clinton (and even the ones who perhaps didn't believe it but wanted to hang around for the drugs and the sex, like...Bill Clinton) are in power today, making policy and influencing our lives.
Uh, maybe Maddox intends to help Nifong...
I saw this piece yesterday and didn't post it on our main DukeLax thread. No use in giving this clown any more publicity, imo...
Your wisdom prevails, abb.
"It's not the nature of the evidence, it's the seriousness of the charge". How many times have you heard Rush quote that - stemming from the "October Surprise" back in 1980 - Carter vs. Reagan?
This attitude is what got O.J. exonerated and what prompted the AWOL stories about GWB. Despite the evidence, perception is reality.
Except this is not a lawsuit, it's a criminal prosecution.
And there is no "victim", only an accuser.
Alton Maddox is a whack job.
He still spouts to this day that Pagones raped Tawana Brawley.
He one of the biggest race pimps in the business in the flavor of Sharpton and Jackson.
Race baiting pig, period!
Oh, I don't know about that. More people need to be made aware of the sick, twisted line of thinking which infect so much of Black culture. Perpetrators of this fraud do so in order to profit from institutionalized bogus victimology. It is ironic that the racism which most handicaps Blacks in America today is the racism of Mattox and his ilk. It is difficult for one to advance in a society which he or she has been trained to hate.
Of course, FReepers know this already, but it seems to me a lot of people are pretty naive about what these racists and their lib enablers are all about.
It would be curious to have the gal involved in this case...to meet with the writer of this article. After about 20 minutes of real conversation...the guy would likely walk out of the room and never say another word about this case.
Maddox lost me in his third or fourth sentence: "This term should have no relationship to a prosecutor seeking justice for a sexually abused woman of African ancestry."
Yo, Maddox, there was no crime. Dude, they need for a crime to have occurred before bringing charges.
Maddox needs to go study "corpus delicti." Here's a hint as to what that is, Maddox: Nifong ain't got one.
You all are just NOT going to believe this one.
I had to read it twice to make sure it wasn't Scrapple!
There really ARE two Americas, aren't there? The sane one, and then there is Maddox's America.
Don't kid yourself.
