Sen. Obama! A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Sen. Barack Obama has joined right-wing forces in Congress in demanding a federal probe of Durham District Attorney Michael Nifong for allegedly withholding DNA evidence from the defense in the Duke lacrosse rape case. It should be pointed out that none of the indicted, white students were ever in jeopardy of going to prison.
No white man, in four hundred years, has ever gone to prison for raping a Black woman. Thus, the statistical probability of a conviction in the Duke rape case is zero. This is the same statistical probability for a white cop going to prison for murdering a Black person. Blacks refuse to recognize statistics and, on the other hand, see the criminal justice system as the Lotto.
Obviously, Obama has to claim that he never heard of the Central Park jogger case. Former Assistant District Attorney Linda Fairstein was the architect of sending, with impunity, five innocent Black boys to prison. There would have been a sixth victim if I had been permanently suspended from the practice of law in 1988 rather than in 1990.
Since Obama is in the business of demanding federal probes in racially-motivated cases, he should investigate New York for defaming Tawana Brawley and railroading me. I can show him reams of evidence proving my innocence and the involvement of Steven Pagones, a former assistant district attorney, in the kidnapping and rape of Tawana Brawley.
This was followed by cover-ups by former State Attorney General Robert Abrams and Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Abrams rigged the grand jury process and Spitzer suppressed exculpatory evidence, the same charge filed against Nifong. With respect to Abrams, state-sponsored defamation, without due process, is a constitutional violation. This was retaliation for my fingering Pagones.
It is also a constitutional violation to interfere with a lawyer's obligations under the Code of Professional Responsibility and the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This happened not only in my representation of Tawana Brawley but also my defense of Rev. Al Sharpton in a 67-count indictment in Manhattan Supreme Court. I have been barred from earning any income for seventeen years.
On March 28, 2007, I asked the office of Sen. Obama to send me a copy of the letter that he had sent to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales demanding the federal probe. Nifong is already facing disciplinary proceedings in North Carolina.
Obama is demanding that Nifong be prosecuted for civil rights violations. Thus, he would face imprisonment. It is curious that this is only happening to a white prosecutor who filed criminal charges against privileged, white males for raping a Black woman. This entire situation is unprecedented.
I am simply requesting that Obama's letter be circulated to the Black media and the public. He has circulated it widely in the white media. This is evidence of double talk. Blacks can ill-afford another Clarence Thomas. His address is as follows:
Sen. Barack Obama
713 HSOB
Washington, DC 20510
