Reply #138: I'll play the game. Nifong still loses, as does the victim and the accused.

Seriously, I challenge you to go through it all and pretend you're on her side for a minute. Try and "prove the case" the other way - really and truly "suspend your belief in the boys" - and see if you see anything just a wee bit differently.

Let's assume the very worst happened and that she was raped. Nothing that happened from that moment on did well for her story: she couldn't tell a consistent story, her dance partner was tenuous in support of the victim's story, and then there's Nifong.

So, this woman was raped. She accused three guys, one of whom was absolutely not there at the time of the rape. Period. DNA found in/on her matched none of members of the team who submitted samples, and Nifong suppressed this information. Where does she stand? Nowhere. A raped woman who will never see justice because this self-serving DA blew it.

And the accused? One graduated and left campus. Two others left campus because they were banned from the premises by Duke. The accusations against them -- probably false -- will haunt them their entire lives.

Bottom line: even if her story of being raped were true, she will not get justice. Ever.

What an incredible waste.
