A significant revelation is buried in the third paragraph of an AP news story on the Duke Lacrosse scandal today.

Durham police told campus officers that “this will blow over,” the report said. The woman initially told police she was raped by 20 white men, then said she was attacked by three, the report said.

As the accuser’s crediblity is chipped away, I wonder if DA Michael Nifong is experiencing any self-doubt in this case–especially now that’s he’s already won re-election.
