"District Attorney Mike Nifong has said he would have other evidence to make his case should the DNA analysis prove inconclusive or fail to match a member of the team.

"I believe a sexual assault took place," Nifong told The News & Observer of Raleigh on Monday. "I'm not saying it's over. If that's what they expect, they will be sadly disappointed."

Funny how he said they were guilty before even pressing charges?

If he has evidence, charge them and present the evidence.

Absolutely. That's his job. If he believes he has a case, he will. He won't until he's comfortable with the case and nobody can hurry him.

Pretty much all I see is a complete liar. I don't know why the media tried to play this as a stereotype, seeing as I always saw it as black men raping white woman, not vice versa. Either way, this story was ridiculous. There's a lot more proof that she wasn't raped besides this DNA. The kids lawyer has a whole mess of proof, I'll look around to find it.

Or maybe he'll just get everyone to consider them guilty so he has enough jurors to rule in his favor?

Innocent until proven guilty. They haven't been charged so they're extra innocent.

I believe it's more accurate to say that they're presumed innocent.

I was wondering if being "extra" innocent is anything like being a "little" pregnant?

Yep, I see a complete liar aswell. Poor black crackhead stripper couldnt get anyone to listen to her tattle tale on a bunch of white guys berating her while doing a strip show (like thats out of the ordinary for strippers) so she cries rape in order to cause a scene, in the end hoping that she has a good enough case to sue. God forbid she try to make money legitimately. Conveniently, there were no bouncers or pimps, whichever you prefer, at the time of the show...which even adds to the unlikeliness that anything happened. Serves her right.

Looking at the bigger picture, this is another case that is being tried by the media rather than in court, just like OJ, Scott Petersen, the Yates lady, etc. It's a disturbing trend and I think it is interfering with our justice system. Look at all the opinions, and nobody has even been charged yet.

Regardless of what happened or didn't happen, it is NOT appropriate to be calling this young BLACK woman some of the names that are being spouted in this thread.

A young woman was allegedly sexullaly assaulted. Does it matter what color her skin is?

No, but the fact that the epithets (" Poor black crackhead stripper ", "dumb bitch" posted by macallan25) were racially based does matter.

mccoyred, please clean out your PM box :)

I often wonder what happened to "innocent until proven guilty" in cases like this. No matter what happens, these guys will be labeled rapists for the rest of their life.

At the same time, it's not right to call this woman the names she's been called around here until she's been proven to be a liar.
