Wasn't Nifong in a no-win situation, particularly early in the investigation. Race was going to play a hand in this case irrespective of the facts...same as the OJ case. It is easy to make a call now, but earlier all the facts weren't out. Even if physical evidence supported the Duke players, do you think the Durham community (and Al Sharpton) would have been satisfied?
No excuses whatsoever for this guy. I don't recall another character so vile being in such a position in the justice system. Resignation and disbarment are not enought. Jail time is needed. He willingly ruined lives and exacerbated racial tensions, all the while failing to take a look at actual evidence. He's a terrible, terrible human being and an even worse public servant.
How do you really feel?
There was never any case for race to be a factor at all, and he knew it. Al Sharpton will never be satisfied with anything. Now on to Miss Mangum...I hope Jesse and Al feel great about springing for her education.

I was referring to the world that is; not the world that should be.
Prosecutors invariably err on the victim's side and occasionally, in their zeal to protect the victim, decide winning the case is more important than doing justice.
When that happens, the individual accused gets trampled by the government and the media, and 87% of the population jumps aboard. That's why people need lawyers.
Pure and simple, this man represents something very evil. He did not care who he destroyed in his endeavor to benefit himself. This man is a criminal and a fraud and he should be dealt with accordingly.
This man represents what is bad with humanity.
HE ruined the lives of a few good men by falsely accusing them and for that, he owes them an apology if he hasn't already given one.
Al Sharpton and all those other guys who trashed these young men also owe them an apology and so does the media.
Do unto others................
Nifong was wrong about almost everything but the lx team's conduct was irresponsible in ever having a dumb sex party like this and in other prior conduct which bordered on being HOOLIGANS.The coach and the team captains bear a heavy burden .
THE PARENTS OF DAVE EVANS, a Duke CAPTAIN , said on 60 Minutes that NIFONG " had messed with the WRONG FAMILY" both are big deal and rich DC lawyers and thus were saying he would pay big time. He is .
Oh come on. Just like everyone knows that OJ was guilty does anyone really think that the victim fabricated this whole story. Maybe embellished a little but as if the 3 rich Duke students were ever going to get done.
so true...lets face it, this stuff happens each and every day. police and prosecutors railroad people and get away with it.
in this case those being railroaded have a lot of cash thus they were able to fight back. usually that is not the case.

You say she "embellished" her story. That's an understatement! She claimed to have been orally, vaginally, and anally raped - with no condoms - yet there is not a speck of DNA from lacrosse players. However, there were up to ELEVEN unidenitified male specimens found in her mouth, underwear, and private areas. I would call that one heck of an embellishment!
Not to mention, two of the three players weren't even there when she claimed to have been raped. After examining the "evidence" for over three months, the attorney general declared them "innocent", not just "not guilty". The attorney general said he had never been involved in a case with a less credible witness. At the attorney general's interview, she claims to have been levitated in the air during the attack! Evidently, her mental health file is enormous. While Nifong certainly should have investigated her claim, there was absolutely nothing to support it. I hope he is disbarred.
Obviously being a bit of a conspiracist here but it would not shock me to find out that once the Duke Daddies finished clearing out one of their bank accounts to steam roll the case all the information you cite in your post is not entirely accurate.
Perhpas the 3 in question did not do anything - perhaps they did - but I would not find it hard to believe that something untoward happened in that house that night.
Guilty of several ethics violations. Proable disbarment.
The little piggy was just disbarred. The next three steps:
1. Send Nifong to prison and tell all the inmates he was a D.A.
2. Sue Nifong and his family for everything, and when enforcing the punishment, allow the three victims and their families to personally remove the wedding ring from Nifong's wife's finger.
3. Sue Duke, Jackson, and Sharpton.
