Bell Wants State Review of Lacrosse Case
Durham Mayor Bill Bell says the city’s report on what happened during the Duke lacrosse sexual assault probe lacked answers and that he wants the state to review the matter.
Bell said that the report by Police Chief Steve Chalmers didn’t say whether police or the prosecutor Mike Nifong was in charge of the investigation. In the report, Chalmers admitted botching the photo lineup of suspects for the woman who said she was assaulted at a March 2006 lacrosse team party.
Michael Nifong should be publicly hanged by his testicles. He knowingly put these three innocent young men through Hell for no other reason than to further his own political career. Saying this was a travesty of justice doesn’t begin to describe the damage he has done to our justice system.
