Not cutting it.


Apparently, Mr. Nifong has apologized to the Duke lacrosse players he so furiously went after, with no evidence, and tried to send to prison for 50 years, just to make a strong bid for reelection. The players are having a hard time taking this, as would I.
I think the best possible ending to this story would be Nifong getting convicted of criminal wrongful prosecution, getting raped in prison, and having no one believe him.

Apparently, the combined legal costs for the players reached up to 3 million dollars. This is super screwed up. There is no getting that back.

the money would've been better spent reducing carbon dioxide.

Joe, you beat me to posting something on this. Apparently the guys have a great case to sue for their legal costs at the very least, which they should easily win. Here is a great write-up by Jemele Hill from espn.com. She is a black writer for Page2: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hill/070412

I love when the law system is handled like a game of Clue or Scattegories or something like that.

We need to privitize the courts and have a private law system instead.

Read here on how this would work.
