Duke Lacrosse Players Off the Hook

I haven't talked about this in any detail, but I think that anyone following the case could tell that there were too many holes in the prosecution's bucket to hold any water. (True, we re-elected Mike Nifong in November, but I'm certain that has more to do with Democrats voting straight-ticket than people behing behind him.)

As much as I want to get behind the woman and support her as an alleged victim knowing that so many women who are raped don't come forward, there was something eating away at me regarding her truthfulness in the matter. Additionally, there hasn't been any real evidence supporting her statements - DNA, eye-witness accounts, accurate timeline, or otherwise.

I think that if she was truly lying this entire time (which I see as 98% probable) that she's setting back any progress that has been made in recent years of women taking a stand for themselves to confront those who would do them harm. THIS is why women fear that nobody will believe them because they're simply crying "wolf."

This may be a controversial statement, but I want to know who she is. I want her name put out into the public record. She's put my city under a microscope for the past year making us look like a bunch of damned bumpkins.
