What does having an "expletive laden tirade" smack dab in the middle of a courthouse hallway, possibly full of reporters, say about the temperament and mental stability of Nifong?
As Woody Vann told Greta, "You don't want to get on his bad side." Cheshire and Osborn have gotten on Nifong's bad side, and he's thrown any pretense of fairness or a search for truth out the window.
The dingbat DA does not have a clue what he is doing in litigation, especially in high profile litigation and his lack of professionalism is apparent. What difference does it make if you are on his "bad side?" What we have seen so far that when someone gets on his "bad side," Nifong throws ethics and common sense overboard to settle the score. Professionals deal with setbacks all the time, the good ones regroup and bounce back.
This trial will be a zoo if this knucklehead pitches a hissy fit when things don't go his way. For the defendants, that is not a bad thing to have an out-of-control DA in front of a jury. Heck, you could build a solid defense on the theory that Nifong is nothing more than a hothead with an office who used it to settle a personal score. Get under his skin in front of the jury and let Nifong hang himself on his own immaturity and unprofessionalism.
