About this listen

 In 2006, three Duke University lacrosse players were falsely accused of rape in a case that shocked America. What started as allegations of assault quickly spiraled into a national scandal involving racism, corruption, and prosecutorial misconduct that would ultimately destroy careers and expose the dark side of the justice system. This is the complete story of how District Attorney Mike Nifong manipulated evidence, hid DNA results, and used false accusations to further his political career - while three innocent young men faced prison time for crimes they never committed. From the controversial party that started it all to the dramatic courtroom revelations that exposed the truth, this case has everything: media frenzy, hidden evidence, and a shocking confession that came 18 years too late. Crystal Mangum's 2024 admission that she lied about the entire incident finally closed the book on one of the most controversial legal cases of the 21st century. But the damage was already done - careers were ruined, lives were shattered, and faith in the justice system was tested. #DukeLacrosse #TrueCrime #FalseAccusations #JusticeSystem #Corruption #LegalScandal #Innocent #CriminalJustice #CourtroomDrama #VindicatedInnocence Duke Lacrosse case, false accusations, Mike Nifong, Crystal Mangum, prosecutorial misconduct, wrongful accusations, justice system corruption, true crime 2024, legal scandal, innocent until proven guilty, DNA evidence, media bias, racial controversy, legal corruption, criminal justice reform
