All charges dropped on the Duke rape case

Live on CNN : All charges have been dropped due to the inconsistencies in the evidence, especially the accounts by the alleged victim herself.

The North Carolina attorney general says the investigation was so faulty from the beginning, after his office's 12 week-long investigation, he is asking for all charges to the dropped and the names of the alleged attackers cleared.

DA Mike Nifong is under ethics investigation due to his mishandling of the case. The attorney general considers Nifong to have been a rogue DA, which is why he is under ethics investigation. He also is seeking for the state Supreme Court to enact proceeding for the swift removal of DAs in future similar situations.

Now the only recourse the accuser has is to take her alleged attackers to civil court --but that would lift off the privacy shield he has had under sexual assault laws.

I have more to say about this, but have to run out to pick up the kids from school. More later.
