Mike Nifong, the district attorney who brought rape charges against the three Duke lacrosse players who were declared innocent yesterday, has apologized to them and said North Carolina's attorney general was correct to drop charges.

It's an apology that rings incredibly hollow to Nifong's three victims. The picture you see here shows a sign posted in Durham, N.C., reading,

Nifong Admit how wrong you were! How Stupid - Stop while you can save face And Apologize. Lacrosse deserves it!

The photo was taken on April 11, 2006. Thanks to Nifong's gross misconduct, one full year passed before the charges were dropped.
