Nifong finally admits "no credible evidence"

On July 27th, disgraced former Durham, NC prosecuter Mike Nifong, finally admitted that there is "no credible evidence" that the 3 Duke lacrosse players committed any crimes he accused them of, offering for the first time a complete and unqualified apology. "I agree with the Attorney General's statement that there is no credible evidence that Mr. Seligmann, Mr. Finnerty or Mr. Evans committed any of the crimes for which they were indicted - or any other crimes against [the accuser] - during the party", said Nifong.

I believe he did this as the judge began considering whether to hold Nifong in criminal contempt or court for his handling of this case. But, as someone who closely followed this case, it is finally good to hear Nifong admit he was wrong and that the boys were innocent.
