We’re out of control prosecuting attourneys, we shouldn’t have to deal with consequences.
Now pay your taxes I need a raise...

Before Saturday's NCAA Championship lacrosse semi-final games one of the two ESPN2 announcers said something like: last year the Duke team was dealing with the well-publicized off campus allegations. Not a word to a national audience about their complete exoneration to the point of being declared innocent. I was shocked at this neglect-to-mention on a sports network.
Very few people get the opportunity to “change the landscape” in their field — let alone lend their name to a related effect.
In a perverse way, Nifong has achieved greatness — even though it was through spectacular failure, rather than extraordinary success.
After all, secession is an old North Carolina tradition.
Her talk pretty one day too.
Then she can sing...
Early admissions are down more than 20% and those are the kids who had to make an immediate decision; kids with more time to think about it are likely to find other options at a much higher rate.
Couple all of that grief with the reality that the physical plant of Duke dates from the 1800s and is totally inadequate for a major modern university, and to my thinking the school has to move, I don't see an alternative.
It has been a long time since I’ve been on the Duke campus but I don’t recall the buildings being that old—I think most were built in the 20th century. They have a huge amount of money invested in the buildings—I don’t think it would be practical to move elsewhere. After the lawsuits resulting from the lacrosse case, they won’t have much money left...
I’m guessing that the new owners may decide to move the school...
Duke has 5.1 billion. I doubt they will be bankrupted. The worst that could happen is that Duke medical center could be closed until it can be completely re certified, and they may lose no higher than 136 million - worst case. Sodhead is likely gone and maybe anger studies too though. My guess is that they will get out of this for about 17 million more than they already paid.
Make it so - please make it so.
The question is: Why? She broke the law. In fact she has committed many felonies over the years and they don't prosecute her. Why?
If she's really totally crazy why does she have custody of her children?
Very good, but Nifong and the false-accuser are not in jail, so justice has not been done.
They want US to pay for their schooling??? Give me a break!
Ah, another clueless person with authority way in over his head.
Why? because she is a Black female.
The chicken hearted DA’s havent the nerve to start something they know they are too cowardly to finish.
I aso doubt you could find a jury in the Carolina’s that would find her guilty as long as one black had to sit on that jury.
