The complete assassination of the Duke Lacrosse players has continued with nary a blip on the media’s radar. Once the media found out that the black accuser of the privileged white boys was most likely a liar, the story vanished off the media radar. Once they couldn’t portray this case in the standard template they have for stories like this (whites taking advantage of blacks), they lost interest.

Well now the defense attorney is finally getting some attention because he’s asking for federal assistance in getting the case dropped.

Dec. 26, 2006 — The lawyers of three Duke lacrosse players who are accused of sexually assaulting a North Carolina woman have asked the U.S. attorney general to look into the prosecutor’s conduct during the case, Michael Cornacchia, the attorney for defendant Collin Finnerty, told “Good Morning America.”

“We’re seeking federal intervention. … We can’t allow this to continue another day,” Cornacchia told “GMA” anchor Chris Cuomo. “Under the color of law, he’s depriving our clients of constitutional rights.”

Durham, N.C., District Attorney Mike Nifong announced last week that he was dropping the rape charges against the three defendants — Dave Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann.

Cornacchia said Nifong had mishandled the case in his identifying of the three young men, his public statements and by withholding evidence.

“He knew that the DNA didn’t match before he indicted the [defendants],” Cornacchia said. [When I was a prosecutor], I didn’t accuse anybody unless I had … reasonable doubt.

“Accusation is destruction,” he said.

When prosecutors interviewed the accuser for the first time — last Thursday — she said she was uncertain whether there was penetration, which differs from statements she made to police in April.

At that time, the accuser said she was brutally raped and beaten by three men during a lacrosse team party at a house near the Duke University campus, claiming that she was “vaginally penetrated by a male sex organ,” without a condom. The accuser and another woman were hired as exotic dancers and paid to strip at the party.

After Nifong’s announcement Friday that he was dropping the rape charges against the three young men, many legal experts have wondered what is left of the prosecution’s case.

Maybe now we can stop ruining the lives of these kids. This is a travesty that should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to continue. The problem is that jerkoff Nifong is so heavily invested in the players being guilty that he can’t turn back now.

And the only people who suffer here are the ones accused, not the piece of garbage accuser who was walking around before they did her rape kit with the semen of seven different men inside her vagina after she told examiners she hadn’t had sex in weeks.

Oh yeah.

She’s credible.

Let ‘em go Nifong. You hung your hat on the wrong rack.
