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.

An APOLOGY!!??!! For his criminal abuse of power an apology is all he can come up with? How about a resignation!

Sorry Nifong. Too little, too late. I hope you kiss your career good bye. That’s the least you deserve. P.S. Take Johnny Sutton with you on the way out.

This is ridiculous. Like he just came to his senses?

It's his last effort to crawl out from under the bus before it backs over him again.

Nothing is more sincere than an apology with strings, terms and conditions applied.

Nifong has some kind of mental problem.

He continued to pursue this long after his reelection was ensured and long after he knew for a fact that they were innocent.

My fear is that he won’t get what he has coming to him.

Weak, weak.

Pitiful; Greta took him apart............LOL>

BTW, to ping somebody, just put their nick in the TO box. If you put more than one, put a semi-colon between them.

"I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect,"

No, 'Fong, you knew full well they were innocent. Your error in judgment was in thinking that you and your whore would be able to get away with it. ....and now you'll pay.

NiFong should be arrested. that is the only check and balance possible in incidents like this - the grand jury system is already heavily stacked against the accused, and rogue prosecutors like this guy just push the system too far to the edge.

Thanks for the ping.

I was looking for the thread after hearing Shep and Greta.

Nifong is definitely a sociopath and a pathetic one at that. They’re usually a lot smarter, like bill clinton for example.

That’s it:

“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?

Enter their screen names in the "to" field, separated by a semicolon, and put the word "Ping" in the reply field. It's really very straightforward.
