More Fallout From the Nifong Debacle in Durham

Washington, DC (TLS). Two jurors who were part of the Grand Jury that decided to proceed with the trial of three Duke lacrosse students charged with rape have told ABC News that had they known about the suppressed evidence that D.A. Mike Nifong withheld, they would not have agreed to proceed with the case. This comes as no surprise given that anyone with an ounce of integrity would say the very same thing. The evidence that Nifong withheld, which has led to his troubles with the N.C. Bar, shows that NO Duke lacrosse player was involved in any way with the assault.

The accuser states that the perpetrators wore no condom. Yet no DNA evidence found on the woman and inside the woman point to ANY Duke lacrosse player.

There was plenty of other DNA found on the woman and inside the woman, however.

We are now into the third month since the bombshell admission of Nifong was made public, namely, that he consorted with the owner of the DNA lab to withhold the evidence that proves the defendants are innocent. Yet to date, no move has been made to dismiss this case.

The Liberty Sphere wants to know why.

Why the foot-dragging? We know Nifong withheld vital evidence. We know he lied to the Court. We know the DNA evidence clears the accused. We know that everyone involved in this case, from the Durham police, to the D.A.'s office, to the Durham judicial system, is eye-ball deep in corruption.

YET THESE THREE INNOCENT YOUNG MEN ARE STILL CHARGED WITH FELONIES.

The Liberty Sphere also demands to know why the U.S. Department of Justice has not yet intervened in this case. In such a blatant display of prosecutorial misconduct, possibly with criminal intent, and in such a highly-charged racially-motivated scheme to 'get three rich white guys,' thus showing that it is nearly impossible to get a fair trial in Durham, North Carolina, why hasn't the U.S. Department of Justice intervened and then dismissed the charges?

Granted, the new prosecutors in this case could well do exactly that. But here it nearly a year after the three were charged, and still justice has not been done. Time is ticking away. These three young men and their families need to get about the business of getting their lives back after they were robbed of precious time and reputation by the State of North Carolina and its corrupt prosecutor, Mike Nifong.

They also need to get about the business of suing the pants off of whoever was involved in this disgraceful display.
