How can he possibly atone for the hell he put those Duke LaCrosse players through? Let alone the damage he's done to the legitimacy of the criminal justice system.
And what about the knee-jerk members of the faculty and administration who so freely and publicly condemned the players on the basis of the accusation alone?
Answers:
I agree that they should have been able to step in from the time it became obvious that he was doing this to get elected but according to those who know N.C state law, the State AG cannot invite his office into an investigation, they have to be asked to take over the case which was why there had not been any delay when Nifong asked them to take over the case when he did. They did so less than 12 hours after the request was made.
There is nothing he can do to atone for what he did to these boys except not be able to practice in his chosen profession ever again because for the rest of their lives, this will follow them wherever they go
The damage is being repaired by the fact that he himself is on trial for his actions. This also goes to show you that we as a people cannot just assume that justice is being done. We need to pay attention to cases out there to really know whether justice not persecution is taking place. When I saw this unfold, I never thought something like that could happen here in these times. I would have expected that in a nation like Russia or fascist leaning countries not here.
The Duke University administration and faculty members should be forced to pay these guys back every cent of the tuition they ever forked over to their institution and make them pay for a full page apology to run for the same length of time they persecuted these students for a crime the did not commit.
Personally, I would have sued her and entered a judgement for her to pay $1.00 very week to each player for the rest of her life as a reminder to her as to what her lies did.
Disbarred, sued civilly, and forced to live out his years in shame...
not much else can be done about what he did...
Duke needs to really take a look at how some members of their faculty failed to stand by Duke students and were all to willing to buy into the race/class slander pushed by Nifong et al...
He should get the same sentance he was trying to get for the Lacrosse players, he should have to re-imburse the families for their legal fees, he should be disbarred and he should have his US citizenship revoked.
If he can't pay, then the State or county should have to, as he was their represenative.
