"mind boggling" is all I can say.

The video at WRAL shows one of the attorneys for the players hugging Nifong. Guess his retainer wasn't large enough? If I were a competent attorney I'd be as far from Nifong as possible. IMO , he's an embarrassment to the profession.

I just watched it. Now why would he hug him? Is it common for a defense attorney to schmooze the DA? I wonder. I'd have a hard time looking at the guy.

Which attorney? Which player? Is it an attorney for Seligmann or Finnerty, or was it one of the attorneys who represented one or more of the non-indicted players before the GJ hearing?

What the....

An attorney for one of the players was congratulating Nifong on his win?!

I am in Wonderland?

A hug may quite possibly have been a deliberate, premeditated, public signal of solidarity--and given that the lawyer chose to take the subsequent, assured, large PR hit in trade--exhibits the gesture's probability of being more/other than a case of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
