Durham D.A. Mike Nifong is Abusive, Reckless and Unqualified for his Job
I have followed the Duke Lacrosse Players’ case since the inception and it is clear to me that the D.A. has abused the system and the easy indictment process by indicting these young players so quickly. According to reports that I have heard in the media, the discovery that he handed over to the defense contained statements the “alleged victim” made to the police which were inconsistent and even said that no rape occurred. I have practiced criminal law for over ten years and I not seen a prosecutor this reckless. It was clear from his statements in court hearing last week that there was evidence that he had not reviewed. Despite the fact that apparently this “alleged victim” has falsely charged people in the past, her statements are inconsistent with respect to the alleged rape, the forensic tests such as DNA do not corroborate her story, and she is stripper, this district attorney has proceeded with the worst rape prosecution that I have ever seen or heard of. Not only does the “alleged victim’s” story not pass muster, this D.A. must be an absolute idiot!!! These young men at Duke need to get this case dismissed and then sue this overzealous, insipid district attorney for malicious prosecution and take away some of his peace and dignity. In fact, he deserves jail time for his reckless prosecution of these boys and as we say in the South “ a good ass-whipping!!!” This is an abuse of process and some action should be taken against D.A. Mike Nifong!!!
