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.

Can they sue him in civil court or does he have immunity?

More meaningless words advanced as a so-called apology.

You're toast, Nifong.

A very wise person over at Liestoppers.com just wrote, “I think we’ve seen the last day in this country during which someone doesn’t publicly apologize for something.”

Why is he free to make such statements? He should be behind bars by now. He is a horrible excuse for (I’ll be nice) a lawyer....I cannot believe he gave this BS apology after RUINING three peoples lives. Terrible! I hope he has to sell everything he owns to pay these guys back.

Give them their good name back, Nifong.

Here’s the equivalent -

go to the top of a hill on a windy day with a feather pillow, rip it open, and scatter the feathers.

Now, put them back.
