so the charges are being dismissed.

I wonder if there will be any appologies, like maybe from Mike Nifong who completely tried to use the case to get elected?

apparently they aren't all that rich, especially with 3 million in legal fees. I'm sure they were on scholarships at Duke.

Everybody hates the idea of spoiled rich elitist people getting away with anything, I just can't imagine how much it would suck if it were me or people I know having to go through that.

I doubt we even hear anymore about it.

the kid from Long Island is rich...trust me.

Regardless, the next step is for Nifong to be charged with misconduct.

Would the Duke players have a case to file lawsuits against the DA or the accuser?

This story never should have been constant front page national news.

Glad it's resolved.

He was charged back in December.

then the next step is for this jackass to be convicted! And the accuser needs to face the music as well.

I hate to play the race card but based on how the Imus thing has gotten blown so way out of proportion, if this was 3 African American boys wrongly accused by a white female and treated like this by a DA,boy, I'd hate to see the protests going on down in Durham and the hell being raised on prime time news programs.


I have a loved one who was wrongly accused of a rather serious crime about 7 years ago, and trust me, despite an acquittal, it stays with you for your life. This is a terrible injustice by our criminal justice system and Nifong should definitely pay some type of penalty for pursuing this case with such weak evidence.

The DA is protected with civil immunity and what the hell are you going to get from a skank stripper if you win.....just more bills from your lawyer.

apparently they can't even sue or jail the liar/whore cause they say she's incompetent and insane. I guess they should have let Ted Bundy out earlier.
