Not to mention the accuser, and the Duke faculty members who all lined up on the side of a proven liar.
I have not really blogged on the subject of the Duke rape case as others have been doing a far better job of reporting on it than I could do. But, like many people I have followed the events in question and have looked with some trepidation at the actions of Mike Nifong as well as all of the usual suspects who have a tendency to line up on the side of the perpetually aggrieved whenever the manufactured charge of racism rears its ugly head. And there is little doubt that The Angry Left loves to complain about any perceived insult or grievance. Well as you may have just seen, the Attorney General has just cleared the Duke players and suggested, in no uncertain terms, that the whole case was an abomination, and that apologies are due from many people to the real victims in this case.
I cannot help but wonder if all those on The Angry Left who screamed "racism" will apologize to the Duke lacrosse players now that they have been shown to be utterly and completely innocent of all charges.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Prosecutors dropped all charges Wednesday against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting a stripper at a party, saying the athletes were innocent victims of a "tragic rush to accuse" by an overreaching district attorney.
"There were many points in the case where caution would have served justice better than bravado," North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said in a damning assessment of Durham County District Mike Nifong's handling of the sensational case.
Cooper, who took over the case in January after Nifong was charged with ethics violations that could get him disbarred, said his own investigation concluded not only that the evidence against the young men was insufficient, but that no attack took place.
