The N&O was told by the AV that Kim Roberts helped the LAX guys rape her and also stole her money. Ho Ho: maybe, maybe not.<br /> For some very strange reason, the N&O did not think this was news-worthy on March 25, 2006.<br /> Best selling books are going to be written about this case.<br /> The train is leaving the station. And how much longer does the criminal gang around M. Nifong think they have to change sides before they are written into history as one of the willfully stupid enablers of this hoax?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-31046278949274656082006-10-09T01:11:00.000-04:002006-10-09T01:11:00.000-04:00Rape, Justice, and the 'Times'

On the one hand, there is Joe Neff who has been chipping away at Nifong's case for months and on the other hand you had the News & Observer acting as an enabler of the hoax back in March and early April when they were assuming the alleged victim was a "victim." Hopefully, they stay on their meds and keep working in the fields on the hoax reservation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
