3A Dukes Case DA’s Apology Not Accepted

USA Today 4-13-07 – 3A Dukes Case DA’s Apology Not Accepted.

Prosecutor Nifong in the Duke Case, called a “rogue” prosecutor, by North Carolina’s Attorney General, who pursued the Duke case with “tragic rush to accuse.”  “When you have a prosecutor who takes advantage of his enormous power and over-reaches like this, then yes, it’s offensive.” Other prosecutors “were offended by a prosecutor who didn’t take the time to make sure he had all the facts straight before leveling charges.”

 

Prosecutor Nifong seems to be the personification of the prosecutor in charge of my case who took inaccurate and unclear evidence and built it up into a case of major proportions.

Why Believe That for Which There Is No Good Evidence?

Many people believe in the existence of widespread "repressed" child sexual abuse and organized satanic cults. Such beliefs occur despite lack of evidence supporting them, influenced instead by reliance on authorities and social consensus. In addition, people fail to understand the fallibility of retrospective memory, erroneously assume that high confidence in a memory means that it is accurate, and mistakenly believe that more information necessarily implies a better grasp of reality. Compounding this problem is the diminution in the scientific training of licensed therapists. When therapists themselves have not been inoculated with scientific skepticism, they will not inoculate their clients and will instead contribute to the epidemic of irrational beliefs. -Robyn M.
