Duke lacrosse sexual assault case dropped

“There were many points in the case where caution would have served justice better than bravado,” North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said in a damning assessment of Durham County District Mike Nifong’s handling of the sensational, racially charged case. “In the rush to condemn, a community and a state lost the ability to see clearly.”

I'm sure cash would be fine, too. Here's to hoping those kids bankrupt Nifong, Durham, and Duke.

Unfortunately the AG said no charges will be filed against her “in the interest of justice” - whatever that means.

Don’t forget “the 88”.

Sure wish they had some legal exposure.

I cannot agree with you more. Nifong deserves to be disbarred and then subjected to the incarceration he so adamantly pursued for these innocent boys.

I think they should all sue her, one after the other, just to make it last longer.

Ping ... your support of these youngmen’s innocence never varied, and you were right on.

It’s an outrage not to charge her. They are afraid of the riots that Jackson and Sharpton would instigate on her behalf.
