At this point, the tide seems to be turning in public sentiment that the Duke lacrosse team is innocent of rape charges. Not to be deterred, at a community forum at NCCU, Durham County DA Mike Nifong had this to say:
A lot has been said in the press, particularly by some attorneys yesterday, that this case should go away. My presence here means that this case is not going away.
Experts agree that not having DNA evidence does not make prosecuting the case impossible but that because of CSI, it’s going to be hard to get a conviction.
We wonder if this is the DA refusing to bail out of a sinking ship or if the lawyers for the lacrosse players are blowing smoke. Either way, someone’s career is going to be ruined. And since they’re all lawyers, does it really matter?
A doctor and nurse who examined the alleged victim said she had injuries consistent with rape. So, if not the lax boys, then who did it?
By the way, just so you know, one of the fathers of the lacrosse players said the boys are innocent. Gee, thanks, AP, for that stellar piece of investigative journalism … ’cause you know, there’s no bias there.
