I'm sure most of you have heard about the disgusting allegations about Michael Vick and dogfighting. If you haven't, check the local newspaper or do a google. Lots of people are upset and want Vick to spend time in jail and never return to the NFL.
Okay. I understand that. But I don't understand this:
Anyone hear of Mike Nifong? He's the Durham County North Carolina prosecutor who admitted he never had any credible evidence backing up a woman's claim that several Duke lacross players raped her. Before there was even a trial --- or a chance to determine whether the charges were true --- Duke disbanded the team, kicked the kids out of school, and Nifong went on a crusade to put them all in jail for a very long time --- with NO evidence.
Yet, no one is calling for his head.
So, why does Nifong get off when he tried to ruin the lives of innocent kids, but we're all calling for Vick's head? Someone help me out here
Hi Ray =D .... I'm with you on this ... innocent till proven guilty is the rule isn't it? ... how many times have we heard later down the line after lengthy prison time .. innocent people served for crimes they didn't commit due to a foul up in the justice system ? .. you can't give these people back thier life or thier dignity after the fact ... and the experiences they've had to endure while locked up are horrible ... so yes .. this case with the kids on the lacrosse team needs to be looked into as well as why Mr Nifong acted with no evidence ... these children need to sue for damaging thier reputation ... I'm sure there were many stressful times for them as well as thier families .... good thoughts Ray ! ... thanks for bringing it to our attention =)
