How did The Herald Sun get such important principles and rights so wrong?
Under America's laws those three young men don't have to prove anything. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. But the fact that there is no evidence whatsoever that the players committed rape during a team party in March is of no consequence to Nifong, Ashley and their enablers.
Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann are being persecuted -- I use that word deliberately -- not for anything they've done, but for who they are. That's a chilling turn of events, one that should concern every resident of Durham and anyone else who cares about justice.
What's being done to those three young men is so chilling and so perverted that I'll no longer be a silent witness to Mike Nifong's malicious, possibly criminal, disregard of justice and The Herald-Sun's cheerleading for him.

It's about time some of the locals starting speaking-up.
Now, if they would only do some more investigating, before
the trail is completely covered-up.
