I don't think Liefong wants her to fold until after the election. She's still his only hope for a win. If she caves now, everybody will know he had no case, even the few delusionals lefties and black Durhamites that want whitey hung out to dry, no matter if they're guilty. Remember them? They won't vote for him if she caves in now.
I don't know NC law, but if the case goes to trial and there's an acquittal, there may be a petition process for a factual finding of innocence at that time.
O/T, but what happened to Kevin Miller? He was all over the place and then he left WPTF while I was otherwise involved this summer.
Did he get too big a head and they let him go?
All I can think if why would anybody leave this area with the case of the decade getting ready to go live.
