Duke rape charges dropped.

This is a criminal case - she doesn't have "lawyers", she has the prosecution. Even if she has a lawyer representing her, even the ass-crappiest attorney should be able to tell her to tell the truth, or at least to come clean if there are some things she can't remember.

we all know the criminal case is the first step towards a civil case, and show me the money. she has probably had lawyers calling her from day one. im just saying it seems like everyone believes the duke players without knowing all the facts. yes, she is a stripper, but no still means no

Because the only facts that have been reported have been exculpatory. The only reported evidence indicating guilt has been her story, which is obviously dubious at best. Of course there could be other evidence that the prosecution has but in a case this publicised I'd i,magine any bombshell stuff would come out since this DA is getting buried all over the place and he doesn't seem to be one to hold back. This thing looks and feels like a total sham to me.

OK, but if she has lawyers beating down her door, doesn't that undermine the "rich v. poor" argument?

Nifong has been on the warpath (no pun intended) since day 1. She has had as zealous an advocate in these proceedings as is possible. Now even he is saying that there simply is not sufficient evidence to make a case against these boys. I don't think it would matter if she had all the money in the world - there is apparently no physical evidence, and the lone witness isn't sure what happened.

She was in college.

You said she was barely educated. He pointed out that she was in college. I think that's what it means.

i dont want to argue. lets agree that our opinions are different

N.C. bar files charges against Duke D.A. - Yahoo! News

I doubt this will convince you of anything, but it's hard to argue that this is the poor getting shafted by the legal system. Nifong won't get disbarred, but he will probably get a disciplinary warning of some sort (I don't know what the procedures are in NC). He was determined from day 1 to nail the lacrosse players, despite having only a shaky case at best.

Poor girl gets shafted by the legal system again!. Yes I am kidding. They ought to send her to jail for this whole debacle.

Hopefully these guys can put this behind them and get back to "normal" lives.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

My guess is that Nifong actually will be disbarred, assuming the reports I've heard are true. He did some pretty bad sh*t.

While the stripper is no saint and should be prosecuted if she did indeed file a false police report, the players weren't exactly saints themselves. Granted, they certainly got far more punishment in the media than they deserved. But, it sounds like all involved are morons.

If she is charged with a crime, the black community in North Carolina should ask for an investigation over lets says about a hundred years and find out how many black men were lynched in the state of good ol' North Cackalacka for being accused by the state or some crazy anatomically inferior fool of raping a white woman. Don't get me started on the issue of in justice and preferential treatment when it is a white and black dynamic. They were not supposed to experience injustice because they were rich and white. God forbide they didn't have 1 million dollars each to clear themselves.

That came outta left field. There were great injustices committed against blacks, therefore a lying stripper shouldn't be prosecuted for a crime? I don't follow that logic at all.
