Does Nifong Ring Any Bells?

Quote From: flthomcat

It's not easy to pass a lie detector test BOTH TIMES one has taken it. That speaks volumes.

 

But any good lawyer would tell his client NOT to take the test, even if innocent.

 

Since the boy had already passed the test, the woman is obviously not too sharp for appearing on national television. To me, that signals that she has problems. That doesn't mean she IS guilty, but it leads to suspicions that she may very well be...

 

More often than not, these allegations are TRUE. The police have already conducted a full investigation before charges are filed. They interview both parties, co-workers, other students, any witnesses, etc. When charges are filed, it's usually because both the police and the district atty believe they have a case!

Duke University was also torn apart when a far too willing District Attorney pursued charges on less than credible evidence.  The justice system is far from perfect, especially when small town gossip meets small town poltics. 

But even at the national level the results of false allegations are just as disasterous.  Or as former Secretary of Labor Ray  Donovan asked after being  acquitted of fraud and larceny charges,  "Which office do I go toto get my reputation back?

How do you know that it's not easy to pass a lie detector two times?  Have you personally tried? And why do you think that she's not smart for appearing on TV? Did you hear her lawyer say that she had already passed a lie detector test, also. Believing they have a case and actually having one are not the same thing. One of the boys father was a former mayor who surely had some influence over charges being filed.

Not having a case didn't stop the former DA in SC. He lost his job and he's facing disbarment over it.

The DA in this case  asked for a mistrial and decided not to refile. To me THAT speaks volumes. If he really thought he had hard evidence he would have refiled the charges and went to trial. Looks to me like he found out that the boys were not telling the truth.

People like you usually have your mind made up as soon as you hear the story and don't really care about the facts. She's guilty, put her in prison and throw away the key.
