I am almost left speechless by this "rape", now "kidnapping" case. Though I usually take what the news media and the blogosphere says about pending criminal cases with a grain of salt, since the evidence at trial often clarifies and even refutes many pre-trial speculations, I cannot imagine that happening in this case. It appears to me as though the prosecutor, Mr. Nifong, charged this case in a cynical (and successful) attempt to secure the African-American vote in his bid for re-electon, and now, having a tiger by the tail, he cannot afford to let go.<br /><br />In 26 years I never saw a case this bad for the State. There is virtually NO RRELIABLE EVIDENCE! It never should have been charged.<br />Nifong doesn't even have the benefit of saying that he believed the victim since he NEVER interviewed her.<br /><br />I hope, that after these defendants are exhonerated, as they will be, that they complain to the North Carolina Attorney Disciplinary Commission (or whatever it is called there).

I think the dismissal of the rape charge strengthens the ID motion. The accuser claimed the people that she id'd performed specific sexual acts. One of these was vaginal penetration. The rape charge was dropped because when confronted with the DNA evidence the accuser could not realistically support the claim of vaginal penetration by a penis. Thus, the rape charges were dropped. The same lack of DNA evidence exists for oral sex and ejaculation that she claimed in her ID session specific individuals performed. This lack of DNA evidence calls into questions the validity of her ID's. I think (and hope) the ID's will get tossed even if the case continues forward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-91713224902800442392006-12-22T18:19:00.000-05:002006-12-22T18:19:00.000-05:00YUCK !

In fact, a person can be kidnapped without moving an inch, since the statutes define kidnapping as forcing a person to go, or to remain, somewhere against their will for certain purposes (to commit another crime, get money, etc.). Prosecutors regularly tack it on to a robbery charge if the robber so much as says "stay right there" or "get over there."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-80865514428199819632006-12-22T18:07:00.000-05:002006-12-22T18:07:00.000-05:00Where is the DOJ?

He is holding the three Duke Lacrosse players hostage in an attempt to prevent their lawyers from filing criminal and civil charges against him. Richard said:<br />"Nifong knows that it much easier to convict the Duke Lacrosse players of sexual assault because DNA evidence is not needed. He is hoping that by holding these remaining charges over their heads they will be amenable to a quid pro quo of Nifong dropping all charges if they do not pursue a criminal or civil case against him."<br /> Such a quid pro quo is illegal and would be grounds for disbarment.

Most institutions have mechanisms by which one can do some verification, but the courts really do depend upon the honesty of the prosecutors and judges.<br /><br />The system is set up on the basis that all prosecutors are wholly honest and never lie.
