No penetration no rape. A "law professor" should know that. He should have reasoned it out from the lack of DNA evidence before she changed her story.

PS Inquiring minds want to know if "the boys" were tested for STD's? Just curious.
Remember the new Free Republic motto (and it's hard to do)
Don't feed the trolls.
I think he supports his own ability to get on his high horse and pontificate at will.
Concur!!
I think it's when you have a tear in your raft. In which case it would likely sink before going over the falls.
A plea deal is probably what Nifong initially wanted. I am glad there is no plea agreement. The charges will be dropped imo. Lawsuits will go forward.
rovenstinez, are you Mike Nifong in FReeper's clothing?
"Don't forget the broad that started the whole mess. She should be sued into oblivion too."
I wouldn't be so fast on that. God knows what Nifong said or did to her to manipulate her to make the accusations she did. In fact, we might find that the accusations she made bear little resemblance to the charges Nifong came out with.
ditto
You got it.....................................
Can't disagree too much with what you said there, but spending years in jail for something you didn't do is a bit of a stretch. No?
The only way I can see the prosecutor getting convictions is if all the jurors have their minds made up in advance to find the defendants guilty, and the judge is very cooperative in allowing only the most helpful of Mangum's multiple versions to be presented to the jury. Then the convictions will be overturned on appeal.
The only one who would benefit from a plea bargain now is Nifong, since it might help him avoid disbarment.

What does it matter? She did what she did. For her own benefit, she tried to ruin lives. She should be punished for that, no matter what her motivation.
You can RENT a Hat, and RENT a whore, and even a stripper, 20 year old boys do such things. WHY does the FR world think that these poor choices are excusable and that there is no need to suffer the consequences of one's poor choices. Nifong was absolutely wrong, the press judged the guys before they had a trial, the law was put aside, but PLEASE, please...things happen to people when they do things that they know deep down inside isn't the WISE thing to do. Are we teaching University kids to be WISE....or foolish. So Pro Football athletes get gunned down at 3 a.m, in a Hummer, that carousing crowd gets out of hand. Anyone who rents a stripper that is a psycho liar, and gets drunk, needs to know that they put themselves in a precarious position. Dumb kids. Stupid. I guess though they did have fun.
I thought it might be related to something series, like a beeber. I think we need to add it to the freeper lexicon.
You're right! I'm stuned I didn't think of it. LOL.Sounds like a keeper to me.
So I take it that you inhabit Uranus?
No he/she is just an *ss!
Interesting comment. Nifong should get a whipping for what he did, but what about the lib climate that fostered this egregious example of injustice? The whole Duke lib faculty and assorted lib agitators should be put on trial too for trying to railroad innocent kids who were hung before they were tried. That won't happen, but it should. The other maniacs involved should be put on display like Nifong and made an example of.
True but for a very few.
