In criminal cases, the use of media creates misinformation which affects the outcome of the case.

media allows for widespread knowledge of the case but lacks all the information

Attorneys

used the media to gain sympathy

tried to sway the public opinion

Nifong

benefited from media bashing the accused

helped his public image in his District Attorney campaign

Media

exploited this case

various opinions on race and sex

The media also created the division between the Duke Lacrosse players vs feminists, the black community, and people against rape.

And since most of these people weren't in the court room, the medias word was bond.

Ethics vs Morals

Nifong used the media to gain black votes

empty promises of winning the case

promised credible evidence

had credibility in the media because of his position of power

His actions were both unethical and immoral.
