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.

A nice “apology” from a guy who tried to railroad them into jail to further his career. Gee, that’s really wonderful.

Prosecutors generally have immunity for what they do inside the courtroom, but experts say that protection probably doesn't cover some of Nifong's actions, such as calling the lacrosse players "a bunch of hooligans" in one of several interviews deemed unethical by the State Bar.

Way to go, Mikey. Think the lacrosse players' attorneys won't bring this up when they haul your butt into court? You won't like your turn in the defendant's chair, Bubba.

That was a wuss apology. This man has destroyed these three boys lives along with many others on the college campus. He knew these three boys were not rapists. He knew the “victim” was not raped. There is no acceptable excuse for his malfeasance in office. He should be disbarred and fined a healthy sum.

“She deserves jail time too.”

Yeah, and their excuse to not charge her is because she has known mental problems; which is just one more nail in Nifong’s coffin as far as I’m concerned.

The Gang of 88 Duke professors who declared the students guilty with no evidence should be fired. They are either stupid or corrupt. In either case they are unqualified to teach anyone anything.

I agree with you on that. Everyone of them should be fired from their jobs.

I am not a lawyer but there should be a lawsuit there somewhere against each of them.

Leftist liberals lawyers do such wonderful things with the law: Nifong, Jake Reno and the Clintons and Fitzpatrick.

Now, it is time for criminal and civil trials of Liefong, the Group of 88, $harpton, Je$$ie HiJack$on and the new Black Panthers.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1810510/posts

DURHAM, N.C. — — Sitting on the stoop of his small wood-sided home, on a parcel of scrub pines carved from a former tobacco plantation, William Ragland, 76, said he wanted to see justice, and soon, in the Duke lacrosse case.

That would mean putting on trial not the lacrosse players, but the district attorney who led the early prosecution of the case, said Ragland.

“I was shocked by how Mr. Nifong did the whole thing. It was a cover-up. He had evidence that these boys did not rape her,” and improperly kept it secret, said Ragland. “


The link below will take you to a picture of the druggie ho that the two black Raci$ts, Rev Un$harpton and Je$$e HyJack$on lied about to make headlines and bucks for Je$$e and $harpton.

It is time to debar LieFong, frog march him to criminal courts to be tried for conspiracy and malfeasance. Then frog march him over to civil trials by the players and their parents, the coaches and anyone who came close to being lynched by the black racist and mediots of America.

Nifong has some kind of mental problem.

Maybe he's just a really mean person.

No, he's a goverment political employee- they live to save their own jobs and screw others. They just do it so much on a daily basis that they sometimes apply it to private citizens too.

These are the type of people that will decide if your father gets heart surgery if universal govt health care becomes a reality.

"I am ticked at Nifong,but I am also ticked at the coward who refuses to prosecute that black woman who started this whole thing. "

They should file a WRIT OF MANDAMUS to force the prosecutor to do his job and file charges against her AND Nifong.

Nifong should be turned into human rotisserie, turned on a spit for exactly as long as he engineered that treatment for the LaX players. Figuratively, of course. I think it would be a VERY serviceable idea if the Players’ legal team made an “example” of Nifong in the way he made an “example” of the players. Nice, long, slow torture , subjected to a low and slow-burning media flame for a year or so, with little weekly news leaks aimed at reminding everyone of what he did. Ay, there’s the rub, the media would NEVER get behind a project like that the way they “dutifully” did all the reporting on the story the way Nifong defined it.

The only rape that occurred was the rape of the good names of the accused. Nifong should go to prison for at least as long as the potential sentences the Duke three were facing. I would prefer much much longer than that.
