"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.

[oceanview]

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.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Sounds about as sincere as Bubba.

[Sue Perkick]

You’re about 13 months too late there Mikey.

[John Jorsett]

I leaked lies to the press, withheld or ignored exculpatory evidence, violated the canons of criminal procedure, did everything possible to railroad you into a conviction that would have sent you to prison and branded you sex criminals forever, and generally destroyed your lives.

Sorry.

Sincerely,
Mike Nifong

[Sicon]

Hmmm, withholding exculpatory evidence from the defense, conducting improper lineups, making repeated defamatory and pre-judgemental remarks about the case to the press, conspiring with the DNA lab director to withhold/ignore evidence...

Apology NOT accepted!

Nifong is going down, big time. Hopefully, the players can sue Duke and it's cabal of lynch-mob professors into oblivion as well.

[pnh102]

Going back to what one of the players mentioned... What about all of the other innocent people Nifong screwed over... the ones who were not rich and could not afford to defend themselves. Surely there must be some innocent people serving time in jail or prison because of this persecutor.

Someone in NC needs to go over every single case that Nifong's office has handled to ensure that no innocent people were wrongly convicted of any crime. Nifong himself must be prosecuted because the handling of this case could not possibly be the result of negligence. Any honest lawyer would have dropped these charges long ago due to lack of evidence and witness credibility issues. The only possible explanation for this conduct must be malice.

Oh, that will give them their lives back........

[jerry639]

Stuff the apologies Nifong. Get out the check book, the deed to your home and the car title. The parents of these young men will make you pay dearly for what you did.

[American Quilter]

Typical non-apology apology. Insufficient. I hope the players sue him—perhaps it will serve as a warning to other dishonorable prosecutors.

"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.

BULL$#!^! Nifong didn't make honest mistakes; he knowingly covered up exculpatory evidence.

[sissyjane]

>> I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect<,

Ya think??? You’re going to be singing “Who’s Sorry Now” From your jail cell, before I’m satisfied, so I can just imagine what the Duke kids and their parents think about your apology.

[HaveHadEnough]

Those kids are right. If this can happen to three people whose families can afford a combined 7 figure criminal defense lawyer bill, imagine how many people without these resources are sitting in jail as a result of similar prosecutorial tactics. It is frightening.

[pepperhead]

I think I am going to puke. This apology is so transparent it is funny. At this point in time the only way Nifong could make this right is to resign as DA of Durham, go home and commit hara-kiri.

[freeangel]

Take away his livlihood and assets and then throw the sob in jail for a long time. That is the apology I’m looking for.

[VeniVidiVici]

An apology only a lawyer could love. Even a bad one :-)

[Winged Hussar]

“...that were wrongly accused.” Right. He uses the passive tense, as if the libelous accusation of rape came out of the sky, like a bolt of lightning.

Nifong, the best way for you to apologize not only to the players, but to your wife and daughter, is to crawl into a hole and pull your rock in after you. Join the French Foreign Legion (the nom de guerre “Sac d’Engrais” fits you) so they can forget you ever existed.

[popdonnelly]

That puts him one up on Sharpton, Jackson,and the New York Times.

[bray]

Three lives ruined is barely worth 1 sentence?? Amazing

Pray for W and Our Troops

[HamiltonJay]

If Nifong does not face criminal prosecution and disbarrment for his blantant use of his office powers to influence his own re-election, then its time to refresh the tree of liberty.
