To quote Jon B., "What in the world are we doing?" I understand, and fully sympathize with what the Duke men's lacrosse team went through last season by being falsely accused of raping some crazy (to put it mildly - I really would like to call her more, but I'm trying to be nice) woman. But please tell me why is the entire team suing the University itself? Shouldn't they be suing the pants off of Nifong or even perhaps the city of Durham seeing how their police ever even let that get to the D.A.'s office. Certainly any first year law (correction make that, first year Elementary school) student could have shot that case down based on the evidence. There is no way this case should have ever been considered let alone brought to trial.
Who is holding the accuser accountable? Nifong has pretty much lost his livelihood, his assets, and any possible reputation he may have ever had. But this woman, is the one that truly frightens me. It was the second incident of a false rape that she reported. I thought there were laws against falsely reporting a crime in the state of NC. Perhaps I am too judgmental, but her kids needs to be taken away from her because she is clearly not of her right mind. At a minimum, she should either be placed in a mental facility or placed in isolation in/under the most the most remote jail the state has. I am not joking about this. This woman is a danger to society. First she damaged these kids reputation beyond repair, the next time she may just go ballistic and takes someones life. Please get her off the streets immediately before someone else gets hurt. The truly sad part about this great tragedy is that the next time a black woman is actually raped, society may look at her and say "sure, just like the woman in Durham" - and that would truly be a crime.
