"Nifong has said he hopes to try the suspects together, possibly beginning in the spring of next year."

The real reason for the delay in the trail start is to put distance between the publicity and the inevitable loss for the prosecution. Nifong is playing this to the hilt for his political advantage. In a just world he should be recalled and disbarred instead of being part of "OJ Justice II."

I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that even under a broad definition, Nifong's handling of this non-case is prosecutable misconduct. Unless there is an OJII jury, this entire stinking mess will get tossed out, but the big question now seems to be, why is Mr. Nifong risking his career over something so completely flimsy?

Also delaying the case a year, which is allowed in NC, will give the Nifong Clymer the oppo to fade and drop the case, without too much loss of face, and likely let him skate w'o judicial censure or bar discipline.

Given the demographic he's playing with, he now has the job for life, which is what this was about.
