I hope he did share information about the case and evidence with the Black Panthers. I think the defense will get him disbarred for it.
You can bet the defense team is already looking into that....
Maybe Nifong was talking to the NBP's more to get them to go out to the black community to get the vote out. Promising them that he'd take the case to trial and get a conviction. That could be why there weren't that many NBP's at the house. The others were out there getting out the vote.
