Durham County votes to pursue Duke lacrosse prosecution
Durham DA Mike Nifong gets his mandate to carry on with the case against accused rapists David Evans, Colin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann. In this odd election, 49 percent was a winning number. Lewis Cheek, who said he wouldn't serve if elected, polled 39 percent. Write-in candidate Steve Monks drew 12 percent. All numbers are unofficial.
What is official is that Durham's embarrassment continues.

It comes to all of us, Doug. Sooner or later. The tide ebbs, and it flows.
