#2 ...NOW it's gonna get interesting - the main point of the case was the rape charges, and the fact that the DNA didn't match makes the alleged victim and the DA liars. Given the horrors that have already been inflicted on the three players, their counsel should have no problem getting any jury to find reasonable doubt.
And then the Carnival O' Litigation starts...

#3 District Attorney Mike Nifong did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

I think Nifong might want to get himself a really good lawyer.

#4 xbalanke,
And Durham County will also need a good lawyer. Once all the charges go away and the dust settles, the lacrosse players lawyers are going to sue everyone involved from the prosecution.

Glad I live in a neighboring county.

#6 Nifong did not immediately return calls seeking comment Friday, and a sign posted on his office door read, "No media, please!"

Yeah, it's the Friday before Christmas. Let's see if we can sneak this one by without anybody noticing...

#7 Nifong needed the black vote to get re-elected. So he thought by pandering to the black community and keeping ludicrous charges in place, he'd be a hero.

You forgot one thing though Mike. A little thing called Misconduct. May your ass be impeached, and that right soon.

#8 This is great news. Nifong is going to be in a lot of trouble. But he is still hanging on by keeping the kidnapping and sexual offense charges. That should only compound his problems, but it seems his ego won't let him do anything else.

This is also a slap in the face to all those Duke professors who immediately ran to the side of the accused and pilloried the lacrosse team and all Duke atheletes. What assholes. Likewise that limpdick Broadhead (Pres of the Univ). I think he got his backbone from the same place as DeVillepin (who, it is alleged, is a man). Limp wristed weasels, the lot of them.

#9 WhoaaI bet Al Sharpton and the Black Panthers must feel terrible about jumping to conclusions based on inconclusive evidence and speculation.

#10 What is the name of the NC county Nifong rules?

These folk don't have enough money to pay the monetary damages the Duke students have earned. Perhaps they might consider deeding land to the Lacrosse Team. Starting with the Duke Administration Building.

That Nifon kicked the rape allegation but kept the kidnapping charge and sex molestation charge only adds to the damages the Duke boys will earn before it's all over.

Bye bye Mike Nifong. YOU should be in prison.

#11 Rep. Jones Asks For Nifong Investigation
Dec 13, 2006
A North Carolina lawmaker is calling for an inquiry into Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong's handling of the Duke rape case. Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales calling for the investigation. Jones wants a review to determine if Nifong, a Democrat, misconducted himself or denied the suspects their civil rights. ... Jones wants Gonzales to determine if Nifong violated suspect identification procedures or made prejudicial statements to the media. Pass the popcorn, please.
