In April 2007 North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper declared the Duke University lacrosse players innocent, citing unreliable eyewitness identification, lack of DNA evidence, and contradictions in the accuser’s story. He also sharply criticized the actions of District Attorney Michael Nifong, who he called a “rogue prosecutor.” Nifong was ultimately disbarred by the North Carolina State Bar.
