As to my ever having been in the same room with Mike Nifong, I've never even seen the man in real life, but you can be sure that were I to find myself in the same room with him, I'd be out the door faster than you can say "utter illusion", which is just what Lewis Cheek's candidacy is relative to best protecting the interests of the defendants in this case.
You may want to take a look at my post at Durham-in-Wonderland (https://beta.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32542246&postID=6867045971125239007) for my response to what's been passing as thought on the issues here generally.
That game's over; the people of Durham are waking up from their long slumber induced by the stupefying drumbeat of the Anybody But Nifong crowd who got the first part of the solution right "getting Nifong out of office" but seem to have somehow overlooked entirely the second, which is, of course, ensuring that whoever replaces Nifong will restore real fairness to this case. With thinking as poor as theirs has been to date, it's a wonder to me that anybody actually takes them seriously anymore.
