By the way, Precious refusing to go forward may not necessarily stop Nifong. He can still be willing to go forward. Rare and stupid, but it is conceivable that the case can proceed without Precious. Personally, I think nothing short of a court dismissing the case will dissuade him from going forward.
I doubt there was a single case of rape allegations prosecuted without a complaining witness. Don't they have a constitutional right to confront their accuser?
I agree 100 percent; he's going for the gold.
He can't go forward without Precious. She IS his case. He has nothing else that I can see. He has to have her testimony. I suppose he could try and force her onto the stand but I doubt he'd do that.
