Nifong is so out of his league but is too stooopid to know it. You'd think someone around that courthouse would have a little "Come to Jesus" meeting with him.
Nifong is a new to a powerful position and is old enough this may be it for him. He is too stupid and drunk on power late in life to listen to advice from a "come to Jesus" meeting.
Nifong is the Chief Moose and Mayor Nagin of district attorneys. Incompetent, and too stupid to know he's stupid.
