  Mr. Nifong violated the primary premis of the american judicial system... "one is to be presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty". Sadly, the media failes to respect that principalas well.

    I find it very interesting that since this man has been out that one rarely hears or reads the words in the Left biased press. Why is that do you think?

    Mr. Nifong, a Democrat, is running against two opponents, both Democrats. The election is 21 days away, though if no candidate in the May 2 election receives more than 40 percent of the vote, a runoff will be held May 30.

    His disgraceful conduct was for political gain. Seems that is the way of today's demcrat(ic) party

      If you note it says former prosecutor. He has already resigned and been stripped of his licence to practice law.

      I think the only thing he's running against is a contempt charge.

      This case however seems to have more to do with one man's arrogance and stupidity than it does with Democrat or Republican. I must say I have seen enough of those behaviours on both sides lately.

      The point here is your comment makes no sense since he isn't running for anything at this time. It might have had some meaning when Nifong was still in office but at this juncture your comment is merely meaningless drivel.

      As are most of the rantings I see from frustrated right wingers like you.

        Ace and Dave. Hello "His disgraceful conduct was for political gain."

        The part about the election is from the NYT during his campaign. Seems many in the press have dropped the Democrat(ic)party affiliation. Hmm wonder why? Probably the same reason you hear nothing of the Bribery scandal of Democrat(ic) William Jefferson. Or Hillary Clinton's corrupt fund raising which goes way back. For example in 2005 national finance director for Mrs. Clinton's 2000 campaign, David Rosen, was convicted on four counts of causing false reports to the Federal Election Commission and is in Federal Prison. And today buried in the back pages in fine print we find that again another Hillary fund raising scandal is unveiled. The Paw family with a income of $46,000 donate $200,000. The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records.

          Just so you know Federal Election Commission records show that Hsu has donated $260,000 to Democratic Party groups and federal candidates since 2004.

          Though a fundraiser for Clinton, he also donated to Sen. Barack Obama's Senate campaign in 2004 and to Obama's political action committee.

          On Thursday, Obama's campaign said he would give to charity the $2,000 Hsu contributed to his 2004 Senate campaign and the $5,000 Hsu gave to his political action committee, Hopefund.

          Obama campaign lawyers also are sending a letter to a San Francisco mail carrier and his family who gave maximum donations to several of the same candidates supported by Hsu.

          The Wall Street Journal this week said the family of William Paw lives in a modest home that Hsu once listed as belonging to him. The Obama letter will ask the Paws to affirm that their past contributions to Obama came from their own finances.

            Colmes: "But you want to pin this on Hillary Clinton because of his behavior?"

            Fund: "No. No, no. The only concern with the Clinton campaign is we have seen strange campaign contribution scandals before. The 1996 campaign saw 120 people connected to the Clinton fundraising efforts either flee the country to avoid questioning or plead the Fifth Amendment. â;¦ I'm simply saying the Clintonites should have learned from that 1996 thing."

            Fund: "[T]he same finance people who worked in the Clinton campaign in 1996 are running Hillary's campaign. The same people, Alan. Terry McAuliffe."

              The Very same Terry McAuliffe who In what is an unprecedented case of political profiteering, turned a $100,000 initial investment in the company into $18 million in less than a year & a halfâ;;a 18,000% profit. But McAuliffe's shady ties to the company go beyond his questionable investment windfall. According to the press reports, McAuliff also did "political work" for Global Crossing CEO Gary Winnick, working out of an office in downtown Washington owned by Winnick. McAuliffe set up a golf outing for Winnick and Pres. Clinton. Winnick later gave a $1 million to Clinton's presidential library. What did he and Global Crossing receive in return? Shortly after Winnick's generous contribution to Clinton's legacy building library, Global Crossing was awarded a $400 million contract by the Pentagon.

              Due to irregularities in the bidding process, brought to light by separate complaints filed by those who had lost out on the contract, Bush cancelled the deal.

              Nifong is a Democrat(ic)right? I am simply pointing out the obvious. The Press has dropped that fact from all coverage while ignoring big corruption stories of other Democrat(ic)s and focusing 24/7 on what? Oh and by the way why do you find it acceptable do exactly what you accuse others of doing? and I quote "Why do Southerners" Just a little FYI. Many in the Southern US are transplants from the northern states. They moved south to get away from the liberal socialist High taxing BS that is so prevalent in States Like VT, MA, NY, NJ, MI, OH and many other Liberal domains.

                You don't know much about southern politics. Yeah, he is a Democrat. But down here, Democrats are more Republican than the actual Republicans in the rest of the country, and typically side with Republicans nationally. The Republicans down here are truly fascist. There is a term for them. Southern Democrats. And they bear little to no resemblence to the Democrats of the north or the west.

                  So if you live in the south and are a Republican you are a fascist? And if you are a democrat(ic) you are really a republican? What a ignorant stereotype of people who live in the south. Your remarks bear little to no resemblance to reality. Where is "down here" because these remarks would indicate you don't get out of the house much.

                    All right, I've lived many years in both the North and the South. When I first came to the South, it was almost impossible to get elected as a Republican. Local politics was dominated by Democrats who were fairly conservative.

                    As the national Democratic party shifted further and further to the left, local Republicans were able to use national Democratic party platforms to tar and feather their Democrat opponents. Democrat conservatives also felt less and less comfortable with their own party, and many defected to the Republican party.

                    Over the last couple of decades, my state has gone from having a Democrat in every statewide elected office to having a Republican in every single one of those offices.

                    So, in summation:

                    Democrats in the South used to be very conservative, as much as many Republicans today.

                    Republicans back then had to be to the right of those Democrats, which was very conservative, indeed.

                    Not necessarily. It depends a lot on how "old school" you are. But just take a look at voting records. Democrats in the south (and here in NC, particularly, which is where the subject of this article is) are typically far more to the right than a Democrat from a northern or western state. By your own admission, you are a transplant. People like you *are* slowing changing the old trend. But it is a *very* slow change.

                    >So if you live in the south and are a Republican you are a fascist?

                    Here, in my case, is North Carolina. Does Jesse Helms ring any bells? Of course, if you go someplace like Charlotte, you have people like Harvey Gantt. He is a Democrat that ran against Jesse Helms once upon a time. He is probably about middle of the road, which is still right of the mainstream Democratic Party.

                    As for the rest of your comment, meaningless ad hominem babble.

                      Real "old school". This goes back to before the Civil war. The South was Democrats and the North was Republican. The South lost. For a whole lot of reasons the South didn't get over it till the 1980's .

                      BTW keep an eye out for wolfs in sheep's clothing. David Duke ran for prez of the USA as the candidate of the "Populist Party"

                        Yes, I am aware that it goes back before the Civil War. As I mentioned above, things are changing slowly. But there are still many pockets of the Southern Democrats and Dixiecrats around here. The Dixiecrats mostly switched to the Republican Party. But the SD's are still around. Until recently, the town I live in was run by the SD's. Now it is the former Dixiecrats, running as Republicans. A bunch of jack booted thugs (quite literally). This is less than an hour away from Durham.

                        The point is that in the south (especially), you can't just point fingers and scream Democrats (or Republians) done it. Party affiliations and loyalties are a lot more complex than that here. In other areas of the country, I can see a line between the Democrats and the Republicans. A bit blurry, perhaps, but a line nonetheless.

                    That is one term. But Southern Democrats and Dixiecrats are different. Dixiecrats are way to the right of Southern Democrats.

        I don't think Al Sharpton took a stand in this case. He went down there with JJ but when he came back up north he had "no comment" one the case.

        That should have been a huge frigging red flag to all that this case was bogus.

        What I want is a public list of those 70 or so Duke Professors who DEMANDED that the kids be expelled..NOW!...before a trial was even held. It had something to do with .."The severity of The Charges."

        These are the liberal,knee jerk,wack jobs that are supposedly molding young minds. I could not and would not pay tuition for a class taught by these professors that obviously used political bias as a substitute for rational thinking.

        These Professors made public their intent to crucify their own students. I say let's name them..one by one. Let's ask all The Duke Greek Fraternities to design an old fashioned "Tar-and Feather" wagon and roll it down to the administration building. Call upon each Liberal Instructor who signed that petition denying students due process of law. Invite them to explain themselves and their actions.

        This would demonstrate, as no classroom instruction could, the bogus moral reasoning of modern day Liberalism.

  I still would like to see the judge force Nifong to pay all court costs and attorney fees for his actions. The families of those boys should not have to pay anything. If it wasn't for Nifong's incompetence the families and the boys would never have had to face this humiliation and charade. The boys records should be wiped clean of this case, if it hasn't been done already.

  There are a lot more that are guiltless of any offense, but are tried nonetheless because its good for "policy" unrelated to law.

  Judge Smith should calculate the time the boys were first accused and vilified by most people, to the time when they were actually exonerated, multiply that number of days time 3 (the number of boys) and THAT should be Nifongs MINIMUM sentence. 30 days for this is BS. His fine should be 3 times the court costs of the boys, NOT $500.00. This should go on his record as a felony and he would not be able to run for any office, including dogcatcher.

    "The April 6 Chronicle featured a full-page ad supported by 88 Duke faculty members. Asking "What does a social disaster look like?" the signatories stated without qualification that something had "happened to this young woman [Mangum]." They based their judgment on the DA's uncorroborated allegations."

    As bad as Nifong is, consider that his actions were an attempt to appeal to the democratic base, then ask yourself why the base of that political party would respond positively to Nifongs criminal abuse of power.

    Oh, I don't know...you could say that the wheels of justice turned slowly in this case, but ground exceedingly fine.

    The boys have all been exonerated. None of them were convicted or plead guilty to any crime in connection with this case. The university has apologized to all of them.

    Nifong has been stripped of his position and his profession, and will serve the humiliation of being jailed (if even for only a day) for abusing his office. As the saying goes, "he'll never work a day in this town again".

    Perhaps not the perfect outcome, but not a bad one. The ACLU was not needed to bring this all about. The federal government did not need to get involved. It took some time, but North Carolina eventually took care of business.

      I can;t agree El Jefe. Yes today that seems okay, but 20 years from now these boys will be in the work force, when they applied for a job questions like ;have you ever been arrested; 20 years from now might be hard to explain. When you consider most companies today do background checks on perspective employees, up pops an indictment for rape, is the HR person going to dig further or just go with the one that doesn;t have a rape indictment against them. Its not fair but that;s how it is going to work, human nature doesn;t change that much.

        20 years from now, hopefully, these guys will have enough of a work history that a competent HR department might flag a 20-year old indictment for follow up, but wouldn't reject the application out of hand.

        I work in an area where people are carefully screened (for national security reasons). We recently hired someone who had 3 DUI convictions, mainly because of years of good work history prior to his last conviction.

    Could you tell me again who's life has been destroyed? Without looking it up, can you name any of the boys?

    If one of them showed up at your place of employment looking for work, what do you think the reaction would be?

    A) Oh, you're the kid who raped that hooker!

    B) You poor guy! Well, I hoped you learned to not associate with disreputable people, and I'm glad to see that they eventually cleared your name.

    Now, what would be the reaction if Nifong showed up looking for a job?

    A) It's awful what they did to you for just trying to do your job.

    B) I'm sorry, but you just don't seem to have what we're looking for here, Mr. Nifong. (Whispered as he leaves: Don't let the door smack you on the butt, you lying dog!)

One of the Boys that was accused left the party hours before the time of the falsely reported rape and proved he was not there by presenting a stores security camera film that matched bank records of him using his ATM card. And finally the girl admitted it never happened even though she had Jessie Jackson, The Rev. Al Sharpton, the Press and the ACLU on her side. ANd then there is Nifong himself withholding DNA samples that did not include any of the accused.

          You're a pathetic biggot! I bet you're one of those people that say a minority can't be biggoted, and then you pre-judge and hate anyone not like you. I pity you, because you will wallow in your own hate all your life.

              Until you have met all collage athletes you have no right to make that kind of statement. Making sweeping generalizations

              like that is bigotry pure and simple.

              I have been the victim of crime that was committed by a male in the military but I have enough brains to know that one bad egg doesn't equal millions of bad eggs. Today marks the beginning of the eighteenth year I have been married to a male that used to be in the military, which should prove my horrible experience did not negatively mark me against an entire people group.

              It isn't easy to get over being a victim, but every day you let your bigotry hold on to you, you let whomever victimized you hurt you over and over again.

                I think this would be more anger than bigotry; she has a right to be angry about what happened, and, yes anger can make you biased. Just my opinion.

                Back to the actual article...no evidence means no case. That's just the way it works.

                  If she was a victim she has every right to be angry. After all these years my anger still pops up from time to time, so I would have no right to tell anyone not to be angry at the monster who hurt them. But transfering the hate you hold rightfully against the person who hurt you to others that may remind you of the criminal doesn't help anyone but the person who hurt you in the first place. It makes you cold bitter and helpless. It can litterally drive you insane! Blind hate can actually turn you against people who could turn out to be a large portion of your life. If I hated all men who were in the military I would not be celebrating my anniversary tonight and I would not have a wonderful child as a symbol of my love for my husband. The quicker she learns to put her hate where it belongs the better her life will be. I am living proof of that.

                  they always say theres no case. doesnt mean they didnt do it. i believe they did. i wont ever believe what the defence ever says. its his job to get them off. he suceeded. they always do because our laws favor the defence. and its twisted 10 times harder of the accused is of rape. because men make the law and want to defend there right to rape.

                  im bias, i admit it but so are they. its only, 'they' control the law to suppress women.

                  You are both a victim and a bigot.

                  Judging an entire people group based on the actions of one member of that group makes you a bigot.

                  I have lived on military bases. My real father was in the military, my husband was in the military, and many of my friends have been in the military.

                  If every military man was a rapist I would have never had a moments peace in my life.

                  My mother actually helped my step dad get away with his abuse of me and then she abandon me to live with him. Should I now hate all woman who have had children? (which would include myself)

                  Every time you transfer your anger to someone else you let your attacker take another piece of you. You are letting your rapist steal your soul. Stop it he doesn't deserve to win.

                  I am not a victim, I am a survivor!

                  It looks to me like you don't want to be a survivor you want

                  to wear your victim hood as a badge. That badge looks good on no one I know I used to have one just like it. I threw it away, and you should too.

              I don't know how long it has been since you were hurt, but if the possibility for justice has past, you have to let it go.

              It isn't easy but you have to.

              As someone who was abused by her step father, and had a mother who knew about it and still loved the step-father more than her own daughter, I know how impossible it sounds but it is POSSIBLE TO OVERCOME!

              The first step realize you did nothing wrong.

              Realizing you are not alone is the 2nd step find a group of people who share the same type of experience you faced and join them.

              To re impower yourself take some self defense classes.

              4th step Get outside of yourself awhile then by volunteering to help others with problems at least as bad as yours. If you must transfer your hate help recent REAL victims get their attacker to court.

              Prayer also helps.

              Get help, get over it as much as possible, and get on with your life. You can allow your bad experiences or your good ones to rule your life. You are choosing to be a victim if you are still a victim after the incident is over and done.

                its so easy to say get on with your life and tell me how im allowing a 'bad experience' to rule. its different if your the one that experienced it. its totally different. none of you have any idea. so she 'admited' nothing happened. she might have felt so much pressure or threats to say that. she probably made her 'admission' under duress.

                  Mine, at least, is the voice of experience. And I consider myself lucky to have gotten out of my experience only humiliated and with recoverable injuries, and blaming myself. Everyone is changed by all the heart-felt experiences in their lives, but nothing need lead to blaming entire classes or groups for the bad ones that were the actions of one or a few. If you allow this you are perpetuating your own damage. The girl is a sick and pitiable creature but there is absolutely no evidence that she was raped except her own several stories, and she definitely picked out one boy to accuse who could document with reciepts and videos that he was not there.

      Actually you do need fancy high priced lawyers to get away with something that you didn't actually do. But it shouldn't be that way.

      This is how the justice system works. It is all about money for lawyers. These kids came from families who had money. The laywers and DA knew that. I wonder how much money ended up in the hands of lawyers over this? It was only because they had money and kept pushing that the DA and the system were exposed.

    Um, they got away, I don't know, maybe because THEY DIDN'T DO IT! Get over it! So some stupid jock raped you. Go after HIM, not innocent guys. Yeah, they may be cocky. So what. Deal with it. Not all jocks are rapists.

        Sanc wasn't saying "get over it" to whatever happened to you.

        He's saying get over this case. They didn't do it. It was proven they didn't. In no way does something that happened to you, no matter how horrible, mean that those three boys did anything to that woman.

        If there was one bit of evidence that said those three guys rapped or hurt that woman in any way, I'd be with ya, yelling "throw away the key!".

        But there's not. All the evidence, every last bit, says they didn't do anything.

          Exactly! If there was one shred of evidence that even one of these guys did it, and they were getting off on a technicality, I would be the first to say hang them by their balls. But they didn't do it. As I said, all jocks are not rapists. I was on the football, baseball, lacrosse, and swim teams in high school and college. I also made straight A's. I got no preferential treatment from teachers, or from anyone else. If I had received it, I would have turned it down because it is wrong. And I most emphatically *never* even *thought* about raping someone. Yes, I was a jock in high school and college. Jasmine, are you going to tell me that I am a rapist, just like all the other jocks?

    I know for a fact that some men are rapist, but that doesn't mean that all of them are. Every time a girl like that makes false charges against a man for something he didn't do, people give real rape victims less credibility, and insisting that truly innocent guys are guilty makes it worse. If you want to help woman who have really been victimized more power to you, just make sure the woman really was a victim. Because if they were not a victim and you help them with what they are trying to do you hurt the real victims. Just because someone is a man doesn't mean they are guilty of a crime.

    There are some woman who can be just as rotten, as the worst men out there. Don't help those kinds of woman.

    "all of you guys defend the rights of rapists."

    Well first, even rapists have some rights. Just not as many as people who are innocent of crime. And everybody has a right to a fair trial, no matter what they did or how guilty they are. As they said in the old west, "First we'll see to it that he gets a fair trial, and then we'll hang him."

    "they got away with it and trashed her name."

    Let's see what really happened...they hired a stripper for a sleazy party. She pretty much stiffed them, and did not provide the entertainment that she had promised (sleazy, but legal, stripping). There was an argument, and after a while, she left with her money. THEN she filed a rape report, but couldn't identify any of her "attackers". THEN, weeks later, she said that she wasn't sure that any penetration had actually occured. Mind you, she never said she was under the influence of any drug...but she can't even remember if she was penetrated??!!
