It sure has taken the media enough time to see what many of us suspected from the start and firmly believed after the first DNA test results were released.
As Fieger said tonight, there is no recourse against Nifong. Fieger says he has absolute immunity. I thought he did too, but here on FR, we discussed this two months ago and I was corrected by one of our prosecutor posters. Nifong has qualified immunity from an action by the players. And unless a miracle happens at the general election, Nifong won't be tossed from office for four years. And... what makes anyone think that the majority of his voting constituency is displeased with his prosecution of the "privileged" white boys?
This is so disgusting.
Fieger and these lawyers are used to advising people based on practicalities. You don't sue unless there's assets to gain.
I HOPE, only HOPE, that the player's families (plus donations) will be able to get Nifong into a deposition. That would do wonders for clearing them and incriminating Nifong. I could see Nifong doing about as well as O.J. in a deposition.
Remember the yelling that could be heard across the building when Nifong let loose on one tirade?
I don't have a clue about the legal angles. I'm only stating that most statements are made from the conventional angle - a financial settlement.
