The student who said prosecution of an innocent white was fine because of past events means lynching to pay back for historical matters is acceptable.

Nifong’s maintenance of charges that are so obviously baseless (in the hopes of capturing the black vote) make me wonder whether the NC bar should look into prosecutorial misconduct. But I doubt that would happen.

Well, since Newsweek is rapidly becoming akin to tabloid media, I can’t take very seriously things they have to “report.” It’s only a matter of time before Newsweek headlines:
“Jessica Simpson divorces Nick, marries mutant offspring of Brittany Spears.”
