And you may be unaware, as many are on a national level, that this woman had done this very thing before. She had a history, and that was ignored. She was lying and she propelled, and put into place, the entire ghastly proceeding that cost a lot of people tremendous sums of money, not to mention the anguish.
Its interesting that you believe these men to be such fine leaders, but listening to members of the Heritage Foundation and other members of the black community as I did last night--they do not seem quite as convinced of their leadership skills.

Grits, I don't have much knowledge of what the woman said or didn't say...I do believe that she should be held responsible if she lied and while not familiar with NC law, I assume that filing a false police report is a crime. My point is that I will not assume anything about her behavior until the evidence is presented. The DA, on the other hand, is clearly responsible for using this mess to further his career and I feel confident in saying that. Clearly, there was a deliberate miscarriage of justice here and these boys suffered at the hands of a corrupt public official. We can debate forever the attributes (or lack thereof) of Jesse and Sharpton but I will always maintain that they were doing exactly what I would expect of them in becoming involved in this situation...now, could they have done things differently, spoken differently? Perhaps...and that is a matter for the black community to address...if they feel they are not good leaders then they can replace them...but, as leaders, they simply couldn't ignore a case such as this! And they aren't the ones responsible for the boys' pain here...lets put the blame where it belongs...with the DA, perhaps the woman, and our culture with it's history of abusing minorities and it's mindless preoccupation with dirt disguised as "news".
