From [here](http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1633987,00.html): "State Bar prosecutor Douglas Brocker told the committee that as Nifong investigated the allegations that a stripper was raped and beaten at a March 2006 party thrown by Duke’s lacrosse team, he charged “forward toward condemnation and injustice,” weaving a “web of deception that has continued up through this hearing.” “Mr. Nifong did not act as a minister of justice, but as a minister of injustice,” Brocker said." So there you go - Nifong will be in line for another good government job. At least if Robert Mugabe is hiring. ---

[QUOTE=JRDelirious] There ARE people who will NEVER come down to say “the players were not guilty, Nifong was a lying snake and Crystal a pathetic liar”. Some will be those for whom the salient fact is that here exist these middle-to-upper class white boys ( **jocks** even!) who were on their way to this society’s track to a satisfying life, and there exists Crystal, a lower-class black female sex worker who is stuck in this society’s treadmill to nowhere; and to them, that in itself is a gross “injustice” and anyone coming out on top must be made to “pay” somehow, regardless if they are at any fault. Some others will be those who are convinced that getting in trouble with the law and having your life ruined as a consequence is something entirely arbitrary that The Man dispenses like a Prankster God, there is no such thing as being “innocent”, so to have someone upon whom fortune has smiled, get away from being taken down, is somehow not playing fair.

But wait! Nifong submitted his formal resignation today. Effective date: July 13. That’s right, folks - he’s going to continue to collect his salary for four weeks and add another month to his pension. There just aren’t words. ---

Huh. 3 guys are falsely charged w/a heinous crime, one that could at least land them in prison for many years, and taint their post prison life (if they have one), and the prosecutor discovered early on that the physical evidence supported their innocence; and instead of releasing said evidence to the defense (as he’s required to), hauled the case in front of the grand jury (supressing the exculpatory evidence), causing them and their families much anguish, got them tossed out of school, cost them scads in lawyer bills, all so he could court a demographic and win an election. and the fact that it took so fucking long to: a. have the charges dropped and b. have any sort of negative consequence for the rouge prosecutor doesn’t concern you? ---
