“We all need to heal,” Nifong said. “It is my hope we can start this process today.”

No problem. As you go to jail, as you lose your house, as your marriage begins to crack under the incredible strain, those of us that lost faith in the judicial system due to your vicious misuse of it....begin to heal.

I figure right after you’ve been hit by a truck, and tasted your own blood, my personal ‘healing process’ will be complete.

You scum bag.

[Crawdad]

I’ve had it with all of this apology crap.

[.. Nifong Admits: No Crime in Lacrosse Case ..]

Oh! yes there were crimes.. many of them..
As with Johnny Sutton and the border guards..
Is Sandy Berger in Levenworth YET?..

The legal system (federal, state and local) is coming apart at the seams..

[APFel]

I usually don’t advocate for this sort of thing, but he needs to be made an example of. A big, fat, bankrupted example.

"...there is no credible evidence that (the players) ... committed any of the crimes of which they were indicted..."

If he had uttered those words two years ago he would not be where he is today.

[Biblebelter]

Nifong is what he is, and that is individual who was an opportunist without scruples. It ain’t so much about Nifong as it those who allowed Nifong to be Nifong. Duke University and much of the Durham community are much bigger disgraces than a single individual like Nifong. Common sense and decency are checks to a boy like Nifong going off the reservation. But there was little common sense or decency to keep this case from being the firestorm it was. All that Duke and Durham had to offer was liberal zealotry which was only fuel to the fire of injustice that came down on some innocent young men.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Disgraced former prosecutor Mike Nifong acknowledged Thursday there is "no credible evidence" that three Duke lacrosse players committed any of the crimes he accused them of more than a year ago

It's true what they say: the rogue DA is always the last one to know.

[longtermmemmory]

Nifong is up for criminal contempt.

He is basically trying to stay out of jail by throwing himself on the mercy of the court AFTER he has been exposed.

The bottom line people need to realize is that PROSECUTORS NIFONG PEOPLE EVERY DAY in the US courts. These Duke Players just had the money for lawyers to provide limitless defenses.

"We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

Translation: "I'm trying to save my bacon from a prison cell."

"I agree with state Attorney General there is no credible evidence that (the players) ... committed any of the crimes of which they were indicted," he said.

Oh, isn't that special. After a year of skewering and crucifying those 3 young men, Nifong now sees the error of his ways.

He needs to ponder the error of his ways in a prison cell for at least a year.

[DManA]

Maybe he apologized but I don't see the quote in this story.

"We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

This sounds like he's claiming victim status.

[gridlock]

I did a word search for “sorry” and “I apologize” and did not find them in this article. If Nifong said either of those things, you would expect that would have been the “money quote”.

I saw some blather about healing and moving on, but no “I’m sorry”.

Nifong Admits: No Crime in Lacrosse Case

Nifong the crime is in the mirror.

[TexasCajun]

The players civil lawyers must be giddy today.

How soon will Nifong claim bankruptcy?

[dfwgator]

We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

You serving jail time will go a long way towards starting the healing process.

[Cementjungle]

"I agree with state Attorney General there is no credible evidence that (the players) ... committed any of the crimes of which they were indicted," he said.

Doesn't sound like an apology to me. Where's his admission of why he did all this?

[dez]

"We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

Healing a cancer can not begin until the cancer is removed from the system. Nifong and those like him are a cancer on our legal system.

While disbarring Nifong would be a beginning, it is probably insufficient to deter others in his position from attempting what he did. A little Old Testament justice, where Nifong suffers at least as much as the Duke men and their families have, is certainly in order.

As noted by others above, there were crimes in the Duke lacrosse case. They were malicious prosecution, obstruction of justice, withholding evidence, and perhaps even perjury, and they were all committed by Nifong. Justice will not be served unless and until Nifong becomes the convicted felon that he claimed the Duke men were.

[Signalman]

How about the gang of 88. When are these POC going to apologize?

[SkyPilot]

No Crime in Lacrosse Case

Wrong! Besides NiFong's crimes, there are a few more:

1. Lying to Police Officers

2. Filing False Charges

3. Conspiracy

4. Lying to Prosecutors

5. Possession of Illegal Narcotics

6. Prostitution

I am sure there are many, many more.

[ridesthemiles]

I hope that he never again is involved in the justice system...Nor can he “teach” others.....

[SergeiRachmaninov]

"We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

Aw shucks, Mr. Nifong, it's been so long. No need to rush the healing now.

We need to allow a little interval for YOU to squirm and for US to enjoy the schadenfreude
