You know, that's what I was thinking of as well. Interesting that he chose to go off on Sutton when Sutton was supportive of the dingbat DAs campaign. Was Sutton even at that press conference?
Nifong is an amatuer and terribly immature. When things started not going his way, he took his ball, went home, and no he is going to show them! What the heck did he expect the defense to do? Stand there and take it, like the French?
Nifong also tried to BS the court about the cell phone. At first, he denied that he had possession of a cell phone, then later said that the police did not review it (which would be stunningly incompetent). My impression is that Nifong was trying to be too cute for words (as in he personally did not have it, and would only admit its existence when specifically queried about police possession). What a scoundrel.
