Utterly clueless, this guy…

The prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse rape case has heard the criticism from experts and armchair lawyers, and said yesterday he is comfortable with nearly all the decisions he has made and confident about taking the case to trial.

“I think that I have a responsibility to prosecute this case,” district attorney Mike Nifong said. “I think that really nothing about my view of the case and my view of how the case ultimately needs to be handled has been affected by any of the things that have occurred.”

Funny how when this was a case of a bunch of privileged white guys raping a black exotic dancer, this case was all over the place in a profound way. Now that more and more evidence is stacking up that this woman was lying and nothing actually happened and that the prosecutor is grossly incompetent and complicit in what appears to be wrongful prosecution of those same privileged white kids, the media isn’t interested, except for passing mentions on the news and two decent stories on Good Morning America and 60 Minutes.

Why is no one putting pressure on this prosecutor?
