Prosecutor Michael Nifong’s case is in shambles, or so it would seem from Duff Wilson and Jonathan D. Glater’s coverage in the New York Times (“Prosecutor’s Silence on Duke Rape Case Leaves Public With Plenty of Questions”, Jun. 12). See May 4, May 17, May 22, etc.

Nifong’s case has been in shambles all along, but it’s nice that the media is FINALLY starting to see that.
What’s wrong with Mike Nifong! Okay he made a mistake claiming these boys were guilty before any evidence came back supporting the claim, then he refuses to see compensatory evidence that proves these boys are innocent, instead, he’s attacking these boys on any level he can just to hurt them?
Nifong is no genius, and calling him a “jacka$$” would be an insult to all jacka$$es everywhere, but if integrity, morals, or ethics were on the SATs then his score would have been in the negatives.

Welcome to the legal system in North Carolina Betty – where one person has the power to destroy or ignore, regardless of the facts.
Ever since every sexist and racist group descended onto Duke to publicly condemn these boys, I went into over drive trying to make people consider that these boys wouldn’t have submitted to DNA testing if they were guilty, but since the 1st DNA evidence came back, I became more persistent and met equally persistent feminist (i.e. feministing, Rachael’s Tavern, Alas a blog, Tennessee Guerrilla Women, Justice4Sisters, Hazel8500 etc…) who adamantly insist these boys are guilty for no other reason than because a “woman” (i.e. the stripper) claims it so.
I’ve noticed since then that most of feminist blogs have fallen silent as new evidence suggests that the stripper’s claim to be false.
However, just when you think this case hit rock bottom, there’s about 50 feet of crap, then you find a sub-basement where in the corner Mike Nifong is hunched over clutching this dead case like “Gulum” (movie: Lord of the Rings) clutches the “ring of power”.

“If Mike Nifong doesn’t get disbarred after this, then there really is a corrupt system in
Durham that protects rich white guys. In Nifong’s case – stupid rich white guys with transparent political agendas, but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Nifong can turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse.”
I love cherry pie, but I don’t like cherry picking. Some people are trying to claim that the defense attorneys are cherry picking, but I don’t see it.
Much of the information Mike Nifong leaked wasn’t so much cherry picked as it was artificially made by him personally (i.e. date rape drug, his reasoning of no DNA match, etc…).
Maybe Nifong is just clumsy and trying to make a pie, which would explain why he has egg on his face.
