I don't think this is SOP at all. The decision to detain or charge the Cab driver comes right from the DA's office.
Basically, with this strong arm coersion, the DA looks like he may bring charges against everyone involved until they all support his version of events.
This is OUTRAGEOUS, out-of-control, prosecutorial MISCONDUCT.
The DA has a DUTY - A DUTY he swears to, to pursue the TRUTH. In no way can this be interpreted as business as ususal.
I think Nifong is a very vindictive, unscrupulous man. This makes sense now why Kerry Sutton (representing a player) was
making public statements supporting his reelection and wearing a Nifong T-shirt. She lives and works in that district. She was probably very aware of what would happen to her and her clients in future cases, if she crossed Nifong.
Didn't Nifong say, they don't want to go against me or try this case against me ...
I called the Gov's office and emailed the Attorney General's office.
They are giving NC a bad name.
Nifong is trying to squeeze blood from a turnip. There was no rape!
