Maybe he is one of the good guys. Seriously. I asked the other night if a cop knew the DA was going after someone who was not guilty were there ways they could "forget" things?
I asked in the context of the lineup. If all knew he was doing the lineup wrong, and they knew this was a bum rap, would they let him destroy his own case?
Who knows? Maybe he did have a vague recollection and tried to tell Nifong and Nifong said he was not interested.
Meant to add--if he likes his job, he needs to be careful what he says publicly.
