AWESOME news...I hope that girl rots in hell, the fact that the "kidnapping" and sexual assault charges remain is a miscarriage of justice. Nifong needs to wake up and gain a conscience.

    Or resign. Or get ready to face a State Bar action against him. The charges still being held are a crock. There's so much about this that screams "Local boy whipping it out and trying to show how big he is against the local university which he thinks is only full of spoiled rich white Yankees."

    Where you there at the party?

    Also, wishing someone would rot in hell is despicable. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    No, falsely claiming rape for months and months against 3 individuals is "despicable". Ruining their lives. Causing a coach with 2 kids to be fired. That is "despicable". As for "rot in hell" its an expression...I hope she lives a HORRID life, is that better?

    Where? Were?

    She lied about sexual intercourse in the day(s) leading up to the party.
    She has changed her own "eyewitness account" about getting "raped." NOW she says she can't even remember if there was penetration or not.
    She could not positively ID the accused from a lineup--only saying "if he was bigger/had a moustache" to be "sure" it was them.
    She wasn't just a stripper, if you know what I mean.

    Still believe her, and that ass Nifong? I hope the people who voted him back into office feel really stupid now.

    It's still all hearsay, and unless the original poster was there, I stand by my original comment.

    Um, if I didn't edit it, it would have made no sense, I was typing fast, sorry if that makes me "lame".

    Do you even know what hearsay means? Also, by your standard, even if I was at the party that wouldn't be good enough. I would have to be one of the 3 young men, or the accuser to reach your standard of proof for drawing conclusions on this matter.

    He was talking to me, I believe. I guess it's lame to know how to spell and type.

    Yep...thanks.



    Alrighty kids, I'm only kidding. The whole fake charges thing sucks and she should be held accountable for ruining these kids lives...even if they do go to Duke. It is something that is so dispicable that I have no idea what should be done with her. Rotting in hell, despite know1's obvious objection, seems about right to me.



    I'd also like to throw a big FU out to the President of the University for firing the coach. nice work. Always have to maintain the image huh?

    So your sense of justice is tainted by your taste in colleges/sports teams?

    Yep, also lame to point it out on a messageboard. Jesus mom, let people type, however fast and incorrectly they want to. Doesn't make a bit of difference.

    Mike Pressler RESIGNED on his own. Brodhead came out in SUPPORT of him while promising a deeper look into the partying culture when this whole sorry thing started to unfold.

    Sure.


    Honestly, I never thought anyone would think I was serious. Though I was serious about 1 thing...I hate duke.

    By that logic, neither does a correction, then. So feel free to drop it.

    C'mon.

    Why didn't they drop the rest of the charges? It seems to me there must be at least some merit to them.

    I think it's pretty obvious that they were involved in some sort of incident that wasn't very good or wholesome.

    Buzz going around this area:

    She wasn't just a stripper, and when she showed up at the party, she realized she may have bitten off more than she could chew.

    Not to mention the race dynamic at work here.

    So in other words, these guys were intentionally hiring a prostitute.

    ;)

    I guess what's wrong with it is that it's illegal. My point is they could have just as easily been arrested for solicitation. Maybe it's not as bad from a punishment standpoint, but it's debatable that the woman was the one ruining their lives.

    Ummm...just a little bit different...

    Soliciating a prostitute vs rape....hmmm...I'm betting 1 has a far bigger impact on the rest of your life than the other.

    Wanna guess?

    By your same logic, if she was just a stripper and the kids did beat and rape her, the kids wouldn't have been the ones ruining her life, right?

    Sure, you put yourself in compromising postions and assume some risk...but not as much as you seem to apply. That's what I think anyhow.

    I feel bad for their coach. He did nothing, was forced to resign, lost all his income for the year just so a pompous jerk could get re-elected.

    Other than that the entire situation is wierd. I don't want to crap on the woman who it seems is already gum on the proverbial shoe and I don't want to crap on those guys either. I hope in the future they use better judgement, and the duke intellectual community and the Durham community will learn to wait before they get on their moral high horse and kill athletes simply because they are biased against them.

    The entire story is bizzare and sad.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    If she was just a stripper and they didn't do anything that was alleged, then I would agree they weren't ruining their own lives.

    But...if they were soliciting prostitution and were charged as such (and apparently they're lucky they weren't) then they would have that on their records for life.
