D.A. Nifong is Putting a Knife Through the Legal System
If you were channel surfing tonight and stopped on 60 Minutes then you caught their story on the Duke rape case or scandel as it appears to be more and more. Ed Bradley went through the current situation of the case and a background on all of its elements. What one comes away with is that this case should not have made it to trial in the first place. The holes in this case are numerous and have reduced it to swiss cheese. From a misguided suspect lineup in which only Duke lacrosse players were used to failed DNA tests which exonerate the three suspects it becomes clear that in the court of public opinion I rule not guilty. The point is why has this case continued on and it becomes clear, Mike Nifong. District attorney Nifong has kept this case going for whatever reason in the absence of evidence. In the 60 Minutes piece you had a Duke professor stating that prosecutorial misconduct has occured in this case and I would whole-heartedly agree. It appears as if attorney Nifong was so wanting a conviction for his own gain in his election bid which is atrocious. Another serious issue is that when these false claims of rape occur it puts the next claim under the microscope of extreme scrutiny. The final analysis of this situation is that this has been a prime example of failed criminal justice or injustice as we are learning more and more.
