I suspect that off-camera their comments would be even stronger!

The fact that Nifong withheld the information and knew it before he indicted their sons has outraged the parents of the accused. "You felt like someone hit you with a baseball bat. Â… It was almost too much to bear, as we sat there," says Kathy Seligmann, whose son, Reade, is among the three indicted players. "And [Nifong is] sitting 10 feet away from us."

It enraged Mary Ellen Finnerty, mother of Collin Finnerty, another indicted player. "I think one of the strongest feelings of rage that I've had Â… I literally had to turn to my husband, because I was shaking from my head to my toe, and say, 'Hold me down,'" recalls Finnerty. Adds Seligmann, "And we had to hold on to each other because when you sit there and put two and two together and realize that it was calculated Â… set up to make these boys appear to be guilty of something they didn't do."

When asked what they would say to Nifong if he were in the room, Rae Evans, the mother of indicted player David Evans, says, "I would say with a smile on my face, 'Mr. Nifong, you've picked on the wrong families Â… and you will pay every day for the rest of your life.'"

Indeed, if Nifong and these three Moms were left alone in a room together for 5-minutes, I'd be willing to bet that "the rest of [his] life" would be a very short time indeed -- and that no jury in the world would convict them. But I know they will settle for seeing the corrupt DA disbarred and jailed for his criminal mishandling of these false allegations.
