Prosecutors Experience “Blowback” from Botched Duke Lacrosse Case

The National Law Journal this week reported that prosecutors across the nation report that they are beginning to experience the adverse consequences of Mike Nifong’s baseless jihad against three Duke lacrosse players. The prosecutors claim that defense attorney’s are increasingly making the argument that the Duke lacrosse prosecution is proof that defendants are often wrongfully charged and prosecuted. Preumably the argument is meeting with some success, or the prosecutors wouldn’t be whining about it. The fact is that what happened to the Duke students happens more frequently than any of us would prefer to believe or admit. Its about time that the prosecutors began to reap the whirlwind from the abusive tactics that they so often employ.
