Another Duke Accuser Supporter Flips

On Tucker Carlson tonight on MSNBC yet another supporter of Nifong and the accuser flipped... due to consideration of facts. This legal correspondant is a white female former prosecuter who hung onto Nifong's case long after Carlson himself flipped from Nifong/accuser supporter to opponent. In recent weeks she had been insisting that she could not change from her position until she saw the "discovery" evidence herself. One of the defense attornies made the evidence available to her to scrutinize for herself. She was devistated. She changed her assessment, and now says that Nifong never had enough evidence to even seek an idictment, and obtained one only by shielding evidence from the grand jury.

The linked article is a new summary from Newsweek, which initially reported the story with the original "rich white pampered athletes gone wild" arc. The newsmag's latest survey is quite different, and presents the finding of Duke's black law prof, whose investigation calls for disciplinary action against Nifong, and portrays the lacrosse players as not so bad afterall.
