"I'm still wondering where the police chief is in all this."

Do you think that he knew Nifong was lying through all of this, and didn't want any part of it, so he tried to stay out of it?

[Sacajaweau]

Yes...I said that earlier. Normally, the Police Chief is the first person to speak of a crime. DA statements come later with special care so as to not prejudice a jury. The DA has an obligation to prove BOTH innocence or guilt. He cannot be or incite prejudice against the defendent. The DA is the defender of Pure Justice in the name of the People.

I'd say NiFong will be disbarred and a complaint will be filed VERY soon.

My best guess was that he would pull a "Patches" and wind up in a hospital with a mild heart attack, away from the press until the governor decides what to do with him.

You might be right. One would think we would have rumors to that effect though.

I think there is a lot going on in the Durham Police Department that we don't know about. I think the Chief just doesn't want any scrutiny.
