Excellent point. If anything, he is a victim of his own incompetence and narcissism. At this point, I don't care who defeats him, as long as he's gone. It will send a message to DA's in every state. If it doesn't, we need to start sending one.
Someone on another thread this morning posted an article from 1992 about a police corruption case in which the DA brought in the SBI to clean house. The DA then was Ronald L. Stephens, who is now the judge who handled the recent indictments. I think one reason there hasn't been a gag order issued is because Stephens, a former DA, realizes how unethical Nifong has been and is allowing the defense to leak evidence that points to the players' innocence.
