Nifong Apologizes for Lacrosse Case
Disgraced former prosecutor Mike Nifong acknowledged Thursday there is “no credible evidence” that three former Duke lacrosse players committed any of the crimes he accused them of more than a year ago, offering for the first time a complete and unqualified apology.
“We all need to heal,” Nifong said, adding later, “It is my hope that all of us can learn from the mistakes in this case, that all of us can begin to move forward. It is my hope that we can start this process today.”
Nifong’s apology came as a judge began the process of considering whether to hold the former Durham County district attorney in criminal contempt of court for his handling of the discredited lacrosse case.
Hell yeah he should be held in contempt. The man should rot in jail for what he did to those three guys. No amount of apologies can ever change what he did. Too little, too late.
