my thought as well.
YEAH, sue off their pants! UP with the youth culture concept that poor choices have no consequence. HIRE strippers and leave them ruined, milk the system, get drunk, go free, do NOT pay $200 and don't go to jail. It's the modern thing. No poor choices and if you PAY the fiddler, then Dance! Decent people go to bed earlier and stay away from haunts.
DUH you think? He should be working at legal aid for $45,000/ year - that's if he gets out of this with his license. But hey he got reelected and that is what it's all about right?
Career-ending? Ya think? The man's displayed an incredible lack of a sense of judgement, to say the least. That's career-ending in and of itself.
>>He had a career - a long career, a reputation of being an honest and fair prosecutor - and for some reason, his conduct in this case was inconsistent with that. <<
For some reason?!
The doctor that delivered me in 1954 lost his legal ability to prescribe drugs in the mid 1980's for "some reason".
The reason was that he was drugging up my grandmother and other people in convolescent homes to the point of virtual unconsciousness for years.
My grandmother got much better...
O.K. I stand corrected but you probably get my point. These kids and their families are being imprisoned by our Injustice system and they should be reimburrsed for what they have gone through. This has ruined three young men's lives and Nifong and the racist hucksters should have to pay.
IS that a crime? Inquiring minds want to know.
No one has said that the boys were right to hire a stripper. But hiring a stripper and being accused of rape and kidnapping are two very different things. It's like not putting money in the parking meter and being charged with arson.
My wish is to see those boys ride out of town in shiny new Ferraris, waving goodbye to the town with their middle fingers.
It should also end the careers of many administrators and faculty members at Duke..
Lacrosse case could end Nifong's career, experts say
Let's hope and pray it does. We do not need someone like him in power. Everything he did was to advance his own career at the expense of innocent people.
Precisely..I mean didn't any of these prosecutors watch "My Cousin Vinnie"?
..and certainly Law & Order would give 'em a clue.
Teaches you all the basic rules about disclosure and exculpatory evidence :)
Don't forget the broad that started the whole mess. She should be sued into oblivion too.
... let me just add that if this were a white stripper, there would have been no story. That is a fact.
Boy you are one twisted individual. Blame the victims, eh?
I believe a review of past cases he ran is in ordered. If he did this for a high profile case, how many other people got Nifonged?
"Joseph Kennedy, a law professor at the University of North Carolina, said that the accuser's Dec. 21 interview with an investigator, in which she changed several key details in her description of the attack, is also a concern.
Among the changes, the accuser offered a new timeline that put the attack outside of the apparent alibi window established by Seligmann's attorneys. She also said she could no longer be sure that she was penetrated vaginally by a penis, which could have helped Nifong explain to a jury why there was no DNA evidence.
"It's just troubling that ... nine months after the event, there's an interview and the interview reveals this fact, which minimizes the importance of the evidence they didn't turn over," Kennedy said. "
This analysis leaves me almost speechless. Nevermind that she's changed her story countless times. Nevermind that her credibility is totally tanked. Kennedy's opinion is that these changes strengthen Nifong's case . . . if only he had turned over the lab evidence more quickly.
Typical lib professor!
I should hope so. A clear case of prosecutorial misconduct.
