A justice system that is already in disrepute?

On February 24, 2012, one week prior to Franklin County Superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood handing down his decision to permanently remove Tracey Cline from her position as Durham County district attorney, I gave my observations about Cline’s challenges and her hearing to Barry Saunders, the humorously sarcastic columnist for The News & Observer. Specifically, I told him that a single snowflake had a better chance of remaining intact for a year within the bowels of Hades than Tracey Cline had of being reinstated by Judge Hobgood as the district attorney for Durham County. Mr. Saunders had contacted me days prior to get my take; in particular wanting to know if I felt the attempt to remove Cline had any connection to former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong. I expressed to him that I definitely not only felt that the media, especially The News & Observer, had targeted Ms. Cline because of her congenial relationship with Mr. Nifong, but also because she is an African American.

Then I proceeded to enlighten Mr. Saunders by explaining to him about the Duke Lacrosse/mainstream media connection. Mr. Saunders, like so many others, was unaware that Ms. Rae Evans, the mother of Duke Lacrosse defendant Dave Evans, had worked as an executive for CBS News for more than a decade, that she then founded and is CEO of a highly successful PR firm in Washington, DC, and that her husband is an attorney in a prominent DC law firm. Even CBS, in violation of acceptable journalistic standards, did not disclose this vital relationship when it interviewed Ms. Evans during its numerous and skewed “60 Minutes” news magazine stories devoted to the Duke Lacrosse case. Possibly this unexpected revelation contributed to his decision to omit any of my comments from his column in the March 3, 2012 edition of the newspaper… a revelation that is supported by an article in today’s newspaper of March 4, 2012.

The News & Observer isn’t through with Tracey Cline… not by a long shot. Now that the N&O has succeeded in dethroning Cline of her position as the top Durham prosecutor, it is moving forward with stage two… having Tracey Cline disbarred. The full court press has begun with an article in today’s March 4th paper by pit bull investigative reporter J. Andrew Curliss titled “Lacrosse case had Cline input.” This is the first admission by the media that I am aware of to confess that it has been targeting Cline because of her relationship with the Duke Lacrosse case and Mike Nifong… it reinforces my long held contention that the Nifong connection was the seed that sowed Cline’s media-instigated downfall. The appearance of the Curliss article helps explain why columnist Barry Saunders chose not to ridicule me in his column for my contention that Cline’s removal was related to her association with Mike Nifong. Not only that, but Barry, who I believe does possess some journalistic ethics, would’ve felt compelled to mention Rae Evans’ connection with CBS News had he made mention of me in his column.

The complaint filed by Durham defense attorney Kerry Sutton, which cited a little known, rarely used elastic law, alleged that District Attorney Cline engaged in “conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brought her office into disrepute.” In quoting that famed philosopher Yogi Berra, “This is deja vu all over again.” Not unlike 2007 when the North Carolina State Bar heaped all of the woes in the state’s justice system upon Mike Nifong’s handling of the Duke Lacrosse case, Judge Hobgood and the media are scapegoating Ms. Cline by accusing her of bringing the justice system into disrepute. The fact is that the present-day condition of the justice system preceded her, and will continue long after her removal. In Durham itself, for example, Crystal Mangum is being held on a charge of first degree murder for stabbing a man in self-defense… a man well on his way to recovery from the wound, but who mysteriously on the third postoperative day went into a coma which led to his elective removal from life support and his death. This prosecution of Ms. Mangum is vendetta motivated, as was the trumped up 2010 arson-related charges she faced. Crystal Mangum is not a criminal; she committed no crimes in 2010 and 2011; and she should not have served a day of jail time. This is the type of biased and vindictive justice that is responsible for Durham’s ill-repute.

That Durhamian Erick Daniels and Shawn Massey, two African Americans who were wrongly convicted of crimes for which they served more than seven and twelve years respectively, were denied pardons by the Governor’s Executive Clemency Board – pardons which are required before they can receive compensation for their wrongful incarcerations – itself brings the North Carolina justice system into disrepute. In denying the petition of Erick Daniels, Governor Bev Perdue’s General Counsel Mark A. Davis refuted my claim that the determination refusing his pardon was because of racial bias. Instead, Mr. Davis claimed that the Governor’s Office had conducted its own investigation which questioned Daniels’ true innocence… but then added that he was unable to back it up by sharing investigative findings with me due to “confidentiality concerns.” Everyone knows that explanation is nothing more than hogwash. Unless the Governor’s Office is willing to publicly prove otherwise, the impetus for rebuking Daniels’ and Massey’s calls for the pardons is due to the color of their skins.

However, one of the most egregious attempts to infringe upon the judicial rights of the people is playing out now in the U.S. District Court in Greensboro, North Carolina, involving the Dukegate Discrimination Scandal of April 2010. Succinctly, Duke University maliciously harassed, humiliated, and intimidated Sidney B. Harr because he was a Nifong supporter, and then attempted to arrest him because he is an African American. When Harr’s attempts to reasonably resolve the incident in good faith were rebuffed by Duke University, he filed a Pro Se lawsuit against the powerful institution alleging discrimination.

What makes this matter so outrageous is that Duke University would choose to fight rather than amicably settle... especially when one realizes the defense Duke’s legal team has chosen to use. First they claim that the wrong individuals (Duke University President Richard H. Brodhead, Duke Law School Dean David F. Levi, and Duke University General Counsel Pamela Bernard) were named as defendants in Harr’s complaint. However, this is through no fault of plaintiff Harr, as he tried at the scene of the incident and for months following to learn the name of the individual(s) responsible for his mistreatment. Other than “the building manager” as quoted by the security guard, and “the Duke Police,” Harr could not learn the identity of the ringleader or other conspirators in the plot against him. Had the actions against Harr been proper, appropriate and above board, then surely someone would have accepted responsibility for them. Harr has the conviction to stand by all actions and statements he makes and take full responsibility for them. Because the intrigue against Harr was so malicious, despicable, and corrupt, no one at Duke University wants to accept responsibility for it. The fact that Harr sent letters to Brodhead and Levi initially, and then included Bernard in all of the subsequent communications definitely affixes legal liability to them.

The second defense used by Duke is that it is immune from discrimination complaints because it is a private institution and not a state one. F. W. Woolworths was not a state agency when it refused lunch counter service to African Americans back in the day when the civil rights wars in the Jim Crow south were at their zenith. This is what Duke University attorneys want the people to believe… that Duke is protected when it discriminates based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual preference, etc. Without a legitimate defense, Duke is trying its best to stave off an inevitable defeat in court by not allowing the case to go to trial. In other words, Duke is trying to get the Courts to do its dirty work for it. Currently, the case hinges on a Motion to Dismiss filed by the Duke defense.

Because Harr filed as a Pro Se plaintiff, Duke University is unable to undermine his legal representation, a tact which would have been first used if Harr had retained an attorney. Also, since Harr is Pro Se, the Duke defendants cannot rely on any legal consultation to bleed him dry financially. Duke defendants’ only hopes to prevail, with their non-existent defense, against Harr is to prevent the case from going to court. Everything is riding on the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. And Duke University is doing everything in its power to replicate the courtroom course that took place when former lab director Brian Meehan filed a lawsuit against the company which fired him. Meehan, whose lab was used by Prosecutor Mike Nifong in the Duke Lacrosse case, was denied the opportunity to have his wrongful dismissal case heard in court when a judge found in favor of a defense motion to dismiss.

This is the strategy that is being used by Dixie T. Wells, of the Greensboro law firm of Ellis & Winters, LLP. I do not fault the firm for using the “Motion to Dismiss” tactic, as it is available to the defendants and is the only realistic chance for them to prevail. Ellis & Winters, LLP is a business and its priority is its bottom line. Unlike the ideal of a prosecutor in a criminal case whose ultimate goal is to seek justice, the attitude in the realm of civil lawsuits is “justice be damned.” If Ellis & Winters, LLP gives Lady Justice a black eye and defiles Christian morals, it is no big deal as long as the outcome results in a win for its clients.

That Duke University retained a Greensboro law firm to represent it, gives it an upper hand as its legal staff has undoubtedly had dealings with the U.S. magistrate judges. What brings this legal matter into disrepute is the fact that Magistrate Judge P. Trevor Sharp would purposely make false statements (lies) about facts of the case in a manner that is willfully prejudicial in favor of the Duke defendants. Magistrate Judge P. Trevor Sharp’s recommendation to the U.S. District Court to accept the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is now under consideration despite the fact that it contains serious false and misleading statements that Judge Sharp has refused to correct. In an attempt to clarify the facts of the case, Harr filed a motion that the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss be heard in court… a motion which defense attorney Dixie Wells vehemently opposed. The Duke University defendants want the U.S. District Court judge to make a ruling based upon a recommendation that contains blatantly false and misleading statements that go directly to the core of the case. Duke defendants do not want the Court to rule on the Motion to Dismiss based upon the truths of the case.

If the Duke defendants prevail in its Motion to Dismiss, it would set a detrimental precedent of allowing the big and powerful corporations and individuals to keep meritorious complaints against them by ordinary individuals from being heard in court. Individuals with legitimate grievances should not be deprived of the opportunity to have their cases heard in court. Justice should be available to everyone regardless of their class, color, or financial standing.

One thing that the Duke University defendants have been able to rely upon thus far has been the prejudicial silence of the mainstream media. Despite awareness of the Dukegate Discrimination Scandal of April 2010, the media has, in concert, remained silent about it… keeping it hidden from the public. The mainstream media was informed about the discrimination lawsuit against Duke that was filed in April 2011, and keeping true to form, has purposely ignored it, as well. That the media has chosen to collude with Duke University to keep the Dukegate Scandal under wraps puts the mainstream media in violation of important journalism ethics.

Unfortunately, with the engineering of her successful removal from office, the media is now pushing for Tracey Cline’s disbarment; this after finally admitting that its vendetta motive against her was related to her role in the Duke Lacrosse case. Instead of generating news stories and taking sides, the media should focus on objectively reporting about them… all important and relevant stories, even the ones that might cause embarrassment to the big and powerful. Actions by the mainstream media threaten to embed it, alongside the justice system, in disrepute with the public. All Tar Heelians expect and deserve better from the justice system and the mainstream media.

Sidney,

I suggest that you take action to help clean up the NC justice system. You are a resident of Wake County and have standing to file a 7A-66 affidavit seeking the removal of Colon Willoughby as District Attorney. You can claim that he knowingly permitted Assistant District Attorney Tom Ford to act in a way that brings disrepute to the justice system in the Greg Taylor case. You should research other cases Ford has prosecuted and identify other misconduct.

Good luck.

Your case will not go to trial because, after discovery it will bw obvious you have no case and the Judge will render a summary judgement for the defense.

There is no vendetta against Ms. Cline. The media reported only that Ms. line was less than honest about her role in the wrongful rape prosecution Ni-nny-fong carried on against three innocent falsely accused Duke Lacrosse players.

The only real vendetta in this blog is the vendetta Sid-ninny is conducting because the innocent falsely accused Lacrosse players were not wrongfully convicted.

Like the stories that Ni-nny-fong never interviewed Crystal Mangum until 9 month into the bogus Duke Rape case, that Ni-nny-fong rigged the lineup to insure Crystal would identify members of the Lacrosse team as perpetratorw(even with the rigged lineup, Crystal could not reliably identify any Lacrosse player as an assailant), that Ni-nny-fong withheld exculpatory evidence from the defendants and lied to the court about it.

This is Liestoppers quoting Mike N(inny)fong's testimony at his contempt trial:

"
2) On July 26, 2007 former Durham DA Mike Nifong speaking at a court hearing concerning criminal contempt charges filed against him said: 'I agree with the attorney general’s statement that there is no credible evidence that Mr. Seligmann, Mr. Finnerty and Mr. Evans committed any of the crimes for which they were indicted or any other crimes during the party that occurred on March 13 and 14 of 2006 at 610 N.

Mr. NI(nny)FONG admits he had no evidence to incriminate the innocent Duke Lacrosse players and, thereby, admitted he knowingly conducted a wrongful prosecution.

Yet you say it was a "travesty" that he was disbarred over this?

You again show what a ninny you are. The only other crimes charged were sexual assault and kidnapping, which crimes Mr. NI(nny)FONG did not dismiss. The rape charge was dismissed because of legal malpractice on the part of Mr. NI(nny)FONG, not because of exculpatory evidence.

So far as theft, it is clear the police impounded the money and kept it.

Other than that there were no other crimes to investigate, except in your deluded, biased imagination.

I do not concentrate on going after prosecutors, although long ago I did file a complaint against Tom Ford with the NC State Bar. Ford was also responsible for the 12 month wrongful incarceration of Carletta Alston. I also filed a complaint with the Bar against Assistant DA Kelly Gauger for her prosecution of Crystal Mangum on a murder charge.

I'd like to point out that the News and Observer was just awarded the Taylor Family Award for Fairness in Newspapers from the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University for its coverage of former Durham District Attorney Tracey E. Cline.

That doesn't surprise me. Like I've always said, the media was an integral part of Tracey Cline's removal from office. Curliss was merely rewarded for doing his part in going after Cline.

A media series about Tom Ford's actions in violating justice and destroying innocent lives would not elicit much attention or garner any award... as Tom Ford is not in the crosshairs of the Carpetbagger Jihadists.

And from the News and Observer:

""This is a hate crime, and we want a conviction," declared Malik Zulu Shabazz, the national chairman of the New Panthers, a black separatist group based in Atlanta that is disavowed by the original Black Panther Party.

Your view is not the conventionally accepted view because it is totally implausible.

It is highly unlikely Kilgo ever spoke to any one at the party. Kilgo made claims about having extensive intimate knowledge of what happened at said party. He was never willing to come forward to reveal such knowledge. The most likely explanation is he was lying. This person who told him about the party does not exist.

The only person at the party to whom you could have talked is Crystal. The forensic evidence is overwhelming - Crystal was not raped on the evening of 13/14 March 2006. If Crystal told you she was raped, then obviously(to anyone but a racist ninny), Crystal was lying.

I apologize for what I said earlier(which was a pretty rambling post).

Your case is based upon proving there was a conspiracy on the part of higher ups at Duke to get you at whatever function you attended.

your argument, whatever could it have been but a conspiracy is not proof. You have to present evidence that Duke higher ups did actually sit down and say among themselves, let's figure out a way to get Sidney Harr.

That's what you should ask your friend Professor Coleman about.

Meanwhile, instead of dodging, explain why Duke settled with the innocent Lacrosse players rather than pay off their attorneys.

I have never talked directly to anybody who was at the LAX party. I am not psychic. I do not have mysterious "sources" who seem to appear, like vapor, anywhere I need them to be in order to "document" my story. I am not Kilgo. I am not Kenny Hissy Fit and I am sure as hell not Harr.

What I know about the whole situation is what I have read and read and read and read......in common media like the N&O, Indy, H-S, etc......plus national media, some credible, some biased as all get out, and some media that most of us would consider to be a cut above the Nancy Grace brand of claptrap. I have also read every book I could get my hands on about the case and have follow DIW for years. And, I read, over and over, every published word of witness reports, court documents, motions that I could find.
So, I consider myself as reasonably well informed as most ordinary folks about what went on with the LAX rape hoax. True, I don't claim to have spoken to somebody at the party and true I am not pals with Mangum. And, god knows, I have no sources.

Based on all I have read and learned, it is absolutely clear to me that those LAX guys were and are completely innocent, that Mangum lied, and that Nifong has to be among the most unethical jerks we have ever had in our infamous NC justice system.

Well, the New Black Panthers, a rather militant black group, came to Durham proclaiming the innocent Duke defendants guilty and demanding a trial which would find them guilty. You call it protected free speech.

AG Cooper reviews the evidence in the case, comes to the conclusion that he defendants are innocent, and said in public, not that he proclaims the defendants innocent, but that he believes they are innocent. You would have suppressed his expression of his belief.

Then, you claim via your frivolous lawsuit you are fighting for everyone's first amendment rights.

5. What PROOF do I, Sid Harr, have that justifies my claims against Duke?
6. Am I simply enjoying myself with all this silly writing over nonexistent claims, in order to annoy others and appear clever, or, am I growing increasingly deluded, paranoid and in need of professional help?

Lance the Intern said...

I think RB Parrish pointed it out best:
"North Carolina has no Speedy Trial law; a suspect may literally be jailed for years before trial. Grand juries keep no transcripts, and a defendant indicted by a grand jury has no right to a probable cause hearing where he may contest the jury's conclusions.
In practice, a district attorney may accuse anyone before a grand jury, falsify evidence to get an indictment, and then hold his targeted suspect for years before releasing him. This gives a prosecutor almost unlimited power to pressure defendants into accepting plea deals and inculcates in them a sense of invincibility"


In an ideal world, this would trigger a grassroots movement demanding a more ethical county prosecutor’s office.

Instead, we get Sid's grassroots movement trying to get one of the DA's (who was removed from office for ethical improprieties) license reinstated.

Here's a bit more about Durham's resident whacko bigot.....the ever-present keeper and monitor of (her brand) of Christian morality....
Quoted from DIW, H-S, N&O, Nifong hearing video...
"Victoria Peterson, co-chair of Mike Nifong’s citizens’ committee, distinguished herself during the lacrosse case by (a) participating in a march organized by an ADL/SPLC-designated hate group, the New Black Panthers Party; (b) urging participants at this march to burn down the lacrosse captains’ house; and (c) personally threatening Mary Ellen Finnerty during Nifong’s ethics trial, resulting in Peterson’s ejection from the proceedings.

But those events only constituted Peterson’s highlights. She began the case by insinuating that Duke Hospital had conspired to produce false DNA results and ended it by marching with Nifong to jail, carrying a sign testifying to Nifong’s “goodness” and “integrity.” Peterson also crusaded for accused murderer Crystal Mangum, rudely interrupting the judge at pretrial hearings on Mangum’s arson charges.


(Peterson, I should note, spreads her hate around: talking about gays and lesbians, who she suggested are all cross-dressers, the Durham Committee’s endorsee claimed that as a result of the “gay lifestyle,” “many of them are infected with diseases,” and if “they are not infected with diseases . . . they will be, even women.” Despite the typically anti-gay views of North Carolina’s African-American Christian community, these views are extreme."

Makes me wonder which side of the old fence Peterson will sit on concerning the current attempt to destroy equal rights for LGBT folks an Amendment. Will she sit with the ACLU and the Carolina NAACP that have come out against this homophobic Amendment? Will she sit in the pew with the Afro-American Church Alliance in NC and come out for the Amendment?

Yep, this is the caliber of people that Harr claims are courageous colleagues in his fight for truth, justice and his socialist american way! rock on, victoria.....just what the world, and Durham need, another wingnut bigot who defended poor Cline as the "victim" of a white-driven campaign to oust the inept DA.

Why do some of us persist in bringing up Peterson on Sid's annoying web site? Because the fact that he refuses to disassociate himself from her, to remove her picture from his web site, to repudiate her racist homophobic statements IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF HIS OWN VIEWS. You cannot hide, Sid. Sid brags that liberals are more "tolerant" of gay people. Wow, geewhiz, and whoopie! It just makes us feel warm all over to know we are being "tolerated"!!!! Sid Harr is a world class hypocrite for claiming his believes in justice while he pals around with the likes of Peterson

Sid: "Rae Evans.... had worked as an executive at CBS News for more than a decade... CBS, in violation of acceptable journalistice standards, did not disclose this vital relationship when it interviewed Ms. Evans."

Rae Evans worked for CBS News and CBS from 1971 to 1981. This was likely her first job out of college. The first interview was in 2006.

Sid, which is worse?

CBS failed to disclose that Evans worked for it in what are likely entry-level and mid-level "executive" jobs ending a quarter of a century before the interview. You repeatedly make a misleading statement which implies Evans had more recently been a senior executive.

A bit of advice: clean up your own act before you criticize others.

I recall that Sutton pointed out how Cline had, on 31 separate occasions, said AS FACT, that Andrew Curliss had been cited for contempt. And, I recall that Sutton showed EVIDENCE to prove that these 31 statements were LIES by Cline. Curliess was never held in contempt. Period.
Sound familiar?
How many times has Sidney Harr lied? How many fictitious "sources"? How many false conclusions presented as facts? How many distortions of truth? How many lies of both comission and omission?
How many lies has Mangum told over the years?
I say that lying is endemic to these four people as a fundamental flaw in their character......and that they see their lies as nothing more than expedient tools to promote their own self-inflating agendas.

Here you go, Sid, in case you are so busy that you don't have time to actually READ.....
Sid's "courageous" J4N committee member, the bigoted racist, Peterson.....

""It turns out, however, that Peterson has considerable experience operating on the extremist fringe. In 2003, she served as president of the short-lived Christians for Morality in Government. The group was created to oppose a Durham County measure to extend health-insurance benefits for same-sex couples. Peterson justified her position pragmatically: “Many of them are infected with diseases, and their lifestyles are very, very dangerous,” Peterson informed the county commission. “Many don’t live to be senior citizens. Who’s going to pay this expense if they get sick in their gay lifestyle?” And if 'they [gays and lesbians] are not infected with diseases . . . they will be, even women.'"

Since that year Peterson has repeated her views regarding "diseased homosexuals" living "perverted life styles". Gosh, folks, let's play "word substitute for moment, shall we?
Diseased blacks" living those "Afro life styles"....
Hmmmmmmmmmmm? think Peterson is anything but a world class bigot AND racist, Sid? Think it's just dancy to consider her one of your founding insiders? Take pride in having her photo on your web site?

And YOU, Sidney, claim to be able to enlighten the rest of us. HorseXXXX

The publisher of Justice4Nifong does not have the time to comment on injustice to Black men meted out by Black former DA Tracey Cline. That same publisher tries to justify the injustice meted out to three innocent, falsely accused Caucasian men because the false accuser was a Black woman.

All I wanted in the Duke Lacrosse case is justice. If a fair and objective determination found them innocent or guilty, I would accept that. However the justice process was hijacked.

As far as I'm concerned, race is not an issue in the Duke Lacrosse case. Injustice, due to race, is the issue.

The three Duke Lacrosse defendants were not subjected to injustice... Mike Nifong and the victim/accuser suffered injustice.

Here SIDN(inn)EY says Mike N-inny-Fong was administering justice when he prosecuted three demonstrably innocent Caucasian men for rape even though he had no evidence a rape had occurred.

SIFN(inn)EY thinks it was justice because it was a Black woman who falsely accused them.

SIDN(inn)EY also thinks it is injustice that the prosecutor was sanctioned for conducting a wrongful prsecution and that it was an injustice that Crystal was exposed as a false accuser.

He makes it self evident he is a hypocritical racist as well as a deluded megalomaniac.

Again SIDN(inn)EY shows he is a racisthypocrite , a deluded megalomaniac, and that he believes the Lacrosse players are guilty.

A fair and objective investigation is what led to the AG offices belief that the Caucasian Lacrosse players are innocent.

Meanwhile, he calls the activities of the New Black Panther Party constitutionally protected free speech - they marched through Durham, after making no careful, objective evaluation of the case, declaring the Duke defendants guilty and demanding whatever court tried them to find the Defendants guilty. He says that AG Cooper's expression of his belief was inappropriate.

Here SIDN9inn)EY H(ypocrite)ARR(acist) shows his belief, that due process did not apply to the Lacrosse players. Due process requires the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Unless the Prosecution can do that, the defendants are presumed by law to be innocent.

SIDN9inn)EY H(ypocrite)ARR(acist) evidentluy believes that Caucasians accused of a crime by a black person of a crime, must prove themselves innocent, even though there is no evidence of the alleged crime.

A Anonymous 1:23 PM : My 2 lira worth :
Voters did not vote along racial lines in DA contest, says VU professor 6-12-2006

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The district attorney prosecuting the rape case against three of Duke University’s lacrosse players received significant support from both black and white voters in the recent Durham primary, according to a voting analysis by Vanderbilt University political scientist Christian Grose.

“Given that about the same percentage of blacks and whites supported Michael Nifong, the results do not suggest a racially divided city,” Grose said. Nifong obtained felony indictments against white student-athletes accused of kidnapping and raping a black dancer hired to perform at a team party. Grose’s precinct-by-precinct analysis showed that Nifong received 44 percent of the black vote and 46.2 percent of the white/nonblack vote.

Just over half (50.6 percent) of the total number of white voters cast their ballots for Freda Black, the other white candidate in the race. She also received support from 25.2 percent of the black voters. Meanwhile, the only African-American candidate in the race for district attorney, Keith Bishop, received 30.8 percent of the black vote and 3.2 percent of the white/nonblack vote. “Bishop was endorsed by the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, a powerful African-American group for endorsements,” said Grose, a Duke University graduate. “Many times, although not in this DA election, the committee can guarantee much black voter support.”

Nifong received a larger percentage of the black vote than the other two contenders, but he did not get a majority of the black vote. His percentage of the white vote was slightly less than 50 percent. “Nifong basically did well among both blacks and whites, demonstrating that Durham voters do not seem to be polarized along racial lines, at least on this issue,” Grose said. “In addition, the voting results suggest that Nifong’s high-profile attention to this case could have helped him with black voters.”

So the black candidate had roughly zero appeal to whites. Nifong had much more crossover appeal to blacks than his other white opponent

KEN(inny)HY(pocrit)DER(acist)AL

The only pre primary election poll showed MIKE NI(nny)FONG trailed Freda Black by 17 percentage points. Yes it was Freda's poll, so why did NI(nny)FONG not produce his own poll? Either he did not care to produce his own poll or he did but did not like the results.

The only thing one can conclude was NI(nny)FONG had only 20% of the vote, black or white before the Lacrosse bogus rape case became an issue. NI(nny)FONG himself admitted he was unknown before the Lacrosse wrongful prosecution, and that he was getting $1 million worth of free publicity.

The primary result was that NI(nny)FONG got a lot more than 20% of the black and white vote. If the Lacrosse wrongful prosecution did not bring him that boost in support, then what did?

In any event, you have disproved SIDN(inn)ET H(ypocrite)ARR(acist)'s contention that the Lacrosse case cost NI(nny)FONG white support and therefore the election.

NI(nny)FONG wrongfuly prosecuted the innocent Lacrosse defendants for political advantage, regardless of what some academic might think. From my experience at the undergraduate and graduate(Doctoral) levels, many academics are really out of touch with reality, g.g.Houston (farm animal) Baker.

So what gave NI(nny)FONG that crossover appeal if not the bogus rape case. Who made the bogus rape case a racial issue? None other than MIKE NI(nny)FONG.

The only pre election poll done showed yhat NI(nny)FONG did not have much appeal to black voters.

Kenhyderal -- Thank you for posting the except that details how, without the Black vote, Mike Nifong would not have won his election.

It has long been Sid's contention that this was not the case, and that (in Sid's words) "courting the black vote...[was] a perfect prescription for losing the election".

Perhaps Sid will back off this claim, now.

But I doubt it.

It's easy to understand the present situation.
First, you must remember that the entire Durham justice system, with the single exception of Tracey Cline, is controlled by the carpetbaggers, who are led by Rae Evans. She is an incredibly powerful woman since she worked for 10 years at CBS.
When Crystal injured Mr. Daye with her nail file, Rae Evans pounced upon the opportunity this gave her to punish CGM once and for all. Accordingly, she had CGM arrested. The subsequent death of Daye made it all the more likely that CGM could be sent away for all time. Accordingly, Mrs. Evans saw to it that CGM was accused of murder.
Tracey Cline, realizing that a trial was the only possible way to have CGM proved innocent, therefore had her indicted for murder. It would then be easy to have CGM declared innocent in a jury trial.
Unfortunately, Cline did not realize the incredible power Rae Evans has. In a moment, Kerry Sutton (who was no doubt deathly afraid to go against Evans) filed charges against Cline. Judge Hobgood (seemingly another servant of the Carpetbagger Jihad) had Cline removed from office.
The hero of the case, the only member of the Durham justice establishment to dare raise her voice against Evans, was judge Marcia Morey.
The consequences could not be more dire. CGM is now in mortal danger as she can no longer count on Cline's benevolent handling of the case. The only hope now is that Sidney, Kenhyderal and their stalwart friends mount a crusade for justice, not just for Nifong, but also for Cline (and, it goes without saying, for CGM).

I hope this enlightens you all
