Nifong Issues Apology to Ex-Lacrosse Players

Posted: 2 minutes ago

Durham — The local prosecutor who charged three Duke lacrosse players with raping a stripper apologized Thursday, acknowledging the decision of state prosecutors to dismiss all charges against them was correct.

"To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect, I apologize to the three students that were wrongly accused," Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong said in a statement.

How do you ping people?

Hit reply, delete the name in the 'to' field if appropriate, type in the name you want to ping, and type 'ping' in the text box, hit post.

And believe it or not, this is exactly the out that Sharpton and Jackass have been looking for. Now instead of apologizing they will publicly lay blame for their remarks on Nifong for deliberately misleading them.

They will not even do that. This scenerio has been played out before with Tawana Barwley. No apologies and no explanations and no consequenses.

No, he is just a democrat. Winning by any means no matter who you destroy is just business as usual. After all he really needed those black voters in order to win his election.

I've always said Dems are either really stupid or really mean. I think Nifong is the latter.

Who can put pressure on the faculty?

This should be used as a GIANT expose of how left wing academia functions.

Students get punished all the time by leftist professors just because they don't like what they think. They don't need evidence. They lash out at will with impunity.

The behavior of these professors should be held against them......BIG time. I'm saying it's time to put the 'punity' into what they've done.

Don't fall for it Raleigh, what you really need is the PING-O-Matic, PAR35 is just trying to trick you so he can hoard the last one for himself.

Nifong gave the state such a black eye, he had no choice but to apologyze.

A year too late, but then he had and continues to have th MSM on his side.

After all, fraternites hire strippers, they go to jail for 30 years. At least according to Terry MorOn.

That is the point - one of the factors the NC Bar will weigh tomorrow is, “Has the defendant expressed contrition to the victims?”

He just did, a day befor his trial at the bar.
