What do you think would've happened in groups would've shouted at Nifong outside the courtroom and then as he walked down the aisle of the Courtroom someone yelled "Dead Man walking"
Someone would be in jail tonight and for some time.
I guess Justice is not blind in Durham
Threatening a public official is a violation there, I would guess, like it is in most or all states. but I don't think it would be a violation to say, "Dumb man walking", or "Lying man walking", or "Little man walking."
