Those who thought that the Duke lacrosse rape hoax scandal was over when the state Attorney-General declared the 3 falsely accused students innocent are discovering just how thoroughly the scandal reached into the halls of power in Durham County and Duke University.
Duke and Durham continue to be up to their necks in legal woes resulting from the inexcusable manner in which the case was handled.
If you ever want the perfect case study for the miscarriage of justice, look at Durham and Duke.
If you ever want an example of how a university system and a entire county's law enforcement and justice system were complicit in the railroading of innocent citizens by a corrupt District Attorney, look at Durham and Duke.
If you ever need a perfect example of a university and a city/county held in the grip of corrupt officials and politicians, look at Durham and Duke.
If you ever need evidence that the top universities in the country are held in the grip of Leftwing demagogues, look at Durham and Duke.
And to this very day, as far as I know, neither Durham nor Duke have done very much to clean up their act.

New Arrest in Bizarre NC Satanic Sex Case
A 3rd person has been arrested in the bizarre Durham, North Carolina Satanic sex case. The 3rd suspect is also a top official with the Durham County Democratic Party.
The Raleigh News and Observer is reporting that Diana Palmer, age 44, Vice-Chair of the Durham County Democratic Party, has been charged with 'one count of accessory after the fact of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.'
Palmer, speaking through her attorney, denies any involvement with a Satanic cult and denies any knowledge of any crime committed by the persons previously charged.
Joy Johnson, Vice Chair of Young Democrats and 3rd Vice Chair of the Durham Democratic Party, along with her husband Joseph Scott Craig, were charged in the case after a complaint was lodged by one of the persons allegedly kidnapped and caged by the couple.
Craig faces charges of kidnapping, sexual assault, assault with a deadly weapon, and rape.
Johnson was initially charged with aiding and abetting. But on Tuesday new details emerged as to the specific manner in which Johnson was allegedly involved in the crimes.
The arrest warrant alleges that Johnson 'instigated and encouraged' her husband in handcuffing a man, forcing him into a dog cage, and then leaving him there for days without food or water.
Although details are sketchy concerning the alleged cult activity, this story only adds to the scandal of a community and a county Democratic Party that are already reeling from one of the biggest corruption cases in the nation--that of disgraced District Attorney Mike Nifong.

Democrats in Durham: Felony Satanic Sex Crimes
The investigation into the Duke University Lacrosse Rape Scandal/Hoax revealed multi-level corruption in Durham, North Carolina politics, from the District Attorney's office to Duke University, from the Durham Police Department to the Durham County Democratic Party, and beyond.
Mike Nifong, the Durham District Attorney who essentially destroyed the lives and reputations of three innocent Duke students in order to win an election, was shown by the N.C. Bar Association to be one of the most corrupt public officials in the nation.
But he had plenty of help from those complicit in his scheme.
Duke University, the Durham police, and the local Democratic Party were all willing, unindicted co-conspirators in Nifong's false use of the race card to win the support of Durham voters, the majority of whom are either African-American or Caucasian liberal Democrats who work in the halls of academia.
Their rush to proclaim the three innocent lacrosse players guilty even before any of them had been charged with a crime only highlighted the lynch-mob mentality of a town seething with racism and corruption.
And now the news comes that a top Democratic Party official in the Durham County Democratic Party has been charged and arrested for engaging in Satanic sex rituals.
Joy Johnson, age 30, vice-chair of Young Democrats and 3rd vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party, has been charged with two counts of aiding and abetting.
Johnson's husband, Joseph Scott Craig, age 25, was charged with second-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Law enforcement officials allege that the couple lured people into their home where they engaged in Satanic rituals of a sexual nature, locked them in cages, chained them to beds, and deprived them of food and water.
Further, it is alleged that Craig sexually assaulted women with a cane and then raped them.
WRAL-TV in Raleigh is reporting that Craig's bond has been set at 1 million dollars while Johnson's is at $368,000. The two are being held in the Durham County Detention Center.
More information can be found on this story HERE and HERE.
It goes without saying that the two are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
However, the emerging scenario is simply more fodder for those who are convinced that the Durham Democratic Party and their cohorts in the Durham D.A.'s office, the Durham Police Department, and Duke University are oozing with cankered corruption that would gag a maggot.

Nifong's Woes Continue to Mount
Durham, NC (TLS). Liestoppers is reporting that former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong was a no-show in court today at a hearing concerning his dismissal as the Durham area D.A.
Nifong sent word to the court before the scheduled hearing that he intents to tender his resignation, effective on Monday.
North Carolina law is alarmingly lenient when it comes to judicial officials who are disbarred by the North Carolina Bar. As we have reported previously on The Liberty Sphere, several disbarred Judges and District Attorneys still had not vacated the offices to which they were chosen.
With Nifong's woes continuing to mount by the day, and with the intense public scrutiny of this case, the beleaguered D.A. could hardly attempt to stay in office following a highly embarrassing trial before the Bar, the result of which was his disbarrment.
Now that the North Carolina Attorney General has declared the three falsely accused Duke lacrosse students innocent of all the charges brought by Nifong, and now that the N.C. Bar has removed his license to practice law, the students and their famlies have pressed for criminal charges to be brought against Nifong.
Thus, Nifong now stands charged with contempt of court for the manner in which he conducted himself during the Duke lacrosse case...a charge for which he could face jail time.
The no-show at court today is certainly no feather in the cap of the Nifong.
