The Duke LaCrosse team rape case looks worse all the time. It appeared weak at the beginning, and it keeps getting weaker. I find it curious that so-called liberals seem to support the actions of the Durham DA regardles of the facts. They seem to have in their mind that this is justifiable payback for the past when Blacks were unfairly prosecuted. One thing I hear that seems odd is that the DA must have some damming evidence that has not been revealed. But, how can that be? He has an obligation to turn over all evidence to the defendants, and if he has info he hasn't turned over, he wouldn't be able to use it at trial. He probably knew at the beginning that he would have to have an "OJ type" jury that disregards DNA evidence to get a conviction. More and more it appears that he used this case as part of his election strategy.

This seems to be a pattern for Democrats. Ronnie Earle in Austin is another example of a Democrat who uses prosecution as a tool against his political enemies. Ronnie Earle got an indictment against Tom DeLay for something that was not against the law. When this was pointed out, Mr. Earle was not embarrassed. He just went to find another Grand Jury to get another indictment against DeLay for something else; he had to shop around a bit because the first Grand Jury he tried refused to indict. He probably knows that he needs an "OJ type" jury to get a conviction. But, no matter, he got DeLay out of Congress, so he is a hero to Democrats.

The "Scooter" Libby case is another example of use of prosecution as a political weapon even though no crime was committed by Libby or anyone else in the first case. That was known from the beginning, so there was no reason to have an investigation.
