- To the new elected prosecutor Mr. Ray Cooper:
Do America a favor and give us some light at the end of the tunnel and bring justice back to the courts. Dismiss this atrocity of a trial which was doomed by unethical behavior on Mr. Nifong's part, prosecute for the lies and revenge on both the strippers part. Unlike Mr. Nifong perhaps you can feed the press the truth, give these young men their reputations back from the condemnation of the groups who call them "rich brats" their obscene jealousies of their privileged lives is sickening. Let America turn the key in the door of justice for all, even if you are rich and white. The tables have turned in this country in a way that can cause an internal revolution in the future, make an example of this travesty and do whats right, not only for these young men and their families, but for all Americans. Unethical behavior, lies and deceit do not add up to without reasonable doubt. - Reply to this comment
- Rae Evan's final comments provide strong insight into the families and the accused individuals. Those words, "I'd say, with a smile on my face, 'Mister Nifong, you've picked on the wrong families...you will pay every day for the rest of your life." So she's saying white families with lots of money (if they can affort to send their kids to Duke) can and will do what they want and apparently enjoy it too. These three individuals may not have raped this young woman, but I know they aren't innocent angels either.

- I just have to say two things: 1. The rap community is not what influences the male perception of the female...this is far older than that...Remember stripping, which is closely associated to prostitution is one of the OLDEST professions in the world. I don't think Rap, as music can claim that. Also, there a far less black strippers that white...disrespect is disprect [of self and others]. AGAIN, RACE is irrelevant. 2. Plainly put the girl was looking for a pay-day. Most people are of the impression, that every student attending Duke is wealthy. There are so many stories of young women (white, black, yellow, purple), trying to set up and/or trap a guy - celebrity or not. She probably figured this would provide her enough drug money...while she continues to receive assistance. Now, as a woman, I found that particular choice of profession,disgraceful, but it was not my choice. As a black woman - from an affluent background with a successful family and life [not just monetarily, I am so tired of people jumping onthis cause to contribute to the saving of the balck community, by globally lumping us into the same categories.

- I would not have to think twice about not going to apply for school at DUKE, and that would not be because of the stripper, it would be because they apparently condone nasty behavior in a frat house. "tut tut" welcome back boys."

- can SEE why a woman could just loose her cool and let them have it, hit them up for rape, let the chips fall where they may. That is not right, but she may have felt that was her only weapon. I'm thinking worse of that frat house now that i did at the beginning of this story.

You finally concede she lied but somehow still want to justify this blatantly wrong action because "she may have lost her cool" so we'll let her "hit them up for rape" and "let the chips fall where they may"? Did this really come from a sound mind. So acceptoing that you now agree she lied about the rape, if the "chips fell...that the boys were found guilty of a rape you now agree didn't occur, that's okay? You ......I can't even type it. Some one please tell this guy what nonsense this is. - Reply to this comment
- Gee Hermie, you say you were innocent? How do we know you were innocent? Oh, that's right, because you say you were. Hmmm, seems that these 'frat boys" say they are innocent of rape and their words are backed by the DNA testing from DNA samples they voluntarily gave to the police before lawyers were involved. ( from the discovery provided by the State not the defendants). So why do we have to believe you and are not supposed to believe the lacrosse players. Because they threw a party some, some not all, consider to be in poor taste, their veracity is not as cedible as yours? How do we know you weren't robbed of money you stole from somebody else? Because you say so? Being a fair minded person, your supposition of me to the opposite, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. You were robbed of funds you had obtained legally. The boys threw a party that was legal. Just as innocent as you were, claim to have been. Why is it so hard to give them the benefit of the doubt?

- Olemiss85, i thought of that. but i was innocent. the frat house might be innocent of rape, but they did put themselves in a questionable situation. They DID. I already thought of the difference. The frat house WAS into something nasty.they were acting like jackasses. walking down the street IS innocent. drinking and setting up a strip party is not. it may be legal, but it is not innocent.

Since when is it a crime to act like a jackass? Y Doing something nasty is not illegal per se. Porn movies, smut magazines, STRIPPERS... can all involve doing something nasty but it's a matter of taste not jurisprudence. I didn't say the frat boys acted like the examples I gave. I said even if they did everything I wrote... it still doesn't justify the making of a false accusation. You still don't get it. You never will. If,If, If... the "frat boys" (you can't even get this fact right,it was a lacrosse team party) acted out every example I suggested, do you mean to tell me that woman was still justified in crying rape? It was her only weapon? Her weapon against what? She was already away from the party before she cried rape. She didn't cry rape to get away from the party, she had to be carried out because she was too intoxicated to leave on her own. There are pictures and the testimony of the other dancer to this effect which are unchallenged by even that idiot Nifong. - Reply to this comment
