Innocent people should not go on trial to prove their innocence. Furhtemore, it's impossible. There is no option of "innocent." Our trial system is not there to prove anyone innocent.
Nifong has not dropped the case, so what do you suggest, dear?
Of course they do not want a criminal trial. Nifong will fail to prove guilt. Although I respect the risks, I am not as cynical as others about the possibility of jury nullification.
And sure you can "prove innocence," just not at a criminal trial. There are other forums for that, including a civil case.
