I read an article the other day that the DA knew his case was incredibly weak. It got him re-elected though, and now he's letting it drag out in hopes that the furror will die down and people will forget.
If this is true, the guy is an incredible jerk.
I also heard that Nilfong (Nullfang) was the DA in a case involving this woman in an earlier incident in which she stole a taxi, drove at a high rate of speed through congested areas, drove in the wrong lane of traffic, had a blood alcohol content of .19, had no valid license, and tried to run over a police officer.
The D.A. in that case was Nilfang. He allowed a plea bargain down to probation. This is beyond incredible.
I think Nilfang's actions in this case go beyond getting himself re-elected.
I think that woman and Nilfang had some kind of relationship and he knows she will spill the beans on him if he doesn't cooperate with her.
How long is his term(before he seeks re-elction)?This thing could go on for years!Whether there is any guilt at all,these young men will be tarnished by this for the rest of their lives!!One of them(the latest indicted)actually had the temerity to defend himself and his comrades!!!He has been accused of"poisong the water"!!!!How many press conferences has this Nifong A**HOLE held??Who's"poisoning the water"?????
He's betting on human nature. A year from now, we will be following a different scandal and a fresh controversy.
Unfortunately, these young men will pay dearly for this DA's ticket to a reelection campaign.
