He keeps referring to having been in this business a long time. How many rape cases have been tried by the esteemed Durham DA? Anyone know?
For the last five years at least, rape and murder cases in Durham County have been handled by Freda Black, of the Michael Peterson trial fame ("Pure T Filth"); as soon as the press picked up this story, he announced HE would be trying this one. (That was four weeks ago -- so you can tell how long he's been planning to take this to trial, regardless of what the DNA tests might have shown.)
To show what a glory hog he is, as soon as he was appointed to office, he took Freda Black's parking space away from her and took it for himself -- a parking space closest to the building that was specifically given to her for her SAFETY because she DOES handle the rape and murder trials and is a single woman, coming and going to work at all hours. But he HAD to have it.
