Nifong Issues Apology to Ex-Lacrosse Players
Posted: 2 minutes ago
Durham — The local prosecutor who charged three Duke lacrosse players with raping a stripper apologized Thursday, acknowledging the decision of state prosecutors to dismiss all charges against them was correct.
"To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect, I apologize to the three students that were wrongly accused," Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong said in a statement.
Nifong was elected. He either needs to be impeached, recalled, or disqualified. If he is disbarred he will be disqualified from holding that position. Oops. Make that WHEN he is disbarred (which should be soon) he will be disqualified from holding that position.
Put a fork in him. He's done.
Although liberalism is strongly associated with Liberal Mind Fog Disorder (my term), the correlation is not 100%. There are some people who are politically liberal who know exactly what they're doing.
Nifong clearly has some problems, but I don't think LMFD is among them. He's delusional, but not in the way normally associated with Liberal Mind Fog. People with LMFD often have a moral compass that would be correct if their perceptions matched reality. Nifong knows full well that what he's doing is wrong, and has simply convinced himself he can get away with it. His behavior is clearly delusional, but IMHO not symptomatic of LMFD.
Many people with Liberal Mind Fog Disorder have a sense of right and wrong which would be reasonably well-calibrated if their view of the world actually matched reality. There are some liberals, like Mike Nifong, who have other pathologies besides LMFD; some of those could be characterized as "moral disease". On the other hand, I would hardly consider such people to be representative of most liberals.
That's because he had the impossible task of apologizing w/out admitting any guilt. Hence no apology.

Or am I confusing him with some one else?
>> To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect ...
To that extent and that extent alone...
The judgment was reelection. The expendable instruments to achieve the judgment were innocent civilians and the Nation through the course of race baiting.
Worse than that: they conducted two lineups properly. Since Precious failed to identify anyone, they did the third lineup with the "can't miss" arrangement. The rigged lineup was not an oversight. It was a deliberate effort to conceal Precious' inability to identify anyone.
Good on Cheshire!

For your enjoyment:
"For none months we've only heard from the defense in the so-called "Duke Rape Case" - but few people know while the defense is talking up a storm about how the prosecutor has "nothing" the defense has refused to release a thousand pages of the investigation.
Reasonable people want to know what they're hiding."
Reasonable people think that all of Wendy Murphy's old prosecution files should be combed for evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse.
Mine translates it as "I'm sorry I got caught".
What a crock. Save your breath, Nifong. And let the lawsuits begin.
Hey Nifong.
Go stick a blanking blank up your blank then grab a shot gun, put it in your mouth and blow your stupid blanking blank of a blank head off.
Oh, they are going to, I can assure you. This is REALLY going to cost the taxpayers.
He's sorry that he misjudged what he could get away with.
One thing I've noticed with some liars is that while they can sometimes manage to out and out lie, often they find themselves compelled to try to say things in a fashion they can rationalize as being at least technically true. I'm not sure why that is, but Nifong's statement seems indicative of that phenomenon.
That’s what other have posted, I’m speechless. No wonder the Seiglemann kid mentioned about police perfidy.
I say hang the bastard. Make an example of him for other lame ass judges.
What statute did Nifong violate? NC Law ain't my bag, baby...
I'd think the most promising approach would be a Federal civil rights prosecution for deprivation of rights under color of law, 18 USC § 242.
Is this the same Nifong that said AFTER the AG took over the case he would not have done anything differently? I think so.
