Maggief,
I'm sure it was a rhetorical question.
Just a comment though: I'd bet that Kim was let out of jail only AFTER she agreed to cooperate and be a state's witness.
As we know, she was arrested 8 days after the party. She didn't respond to repeated requests from the Durham and Duke Police departments for the 911 caller to come forward. She spent several hours in jail after being arrested (8 days later). Kim has been on the run, Kim signed an agreement for restitution and then didn't pay one red cent, seems she never intended on paying that money back. They find Kim, Kim doesn't like Cops. She may have taken some of Crystal's stuff that night and she's not talking - she's exercising her rights. Nifong or one of the investigators tell her what she has to do to get out of jail and Kim jumps on it. Days later, Kim gets an attorney that's interested in representing her and Crystal civilly. Mark Simeon calls Nifong and talks about the election and how he can address some black groups he's speaking in front of just a day or two before the election. Nifong agrees that Kim (who's been on the Lam) is not a flight risk and drops her bond-bail requirements to save Kim money. A Judge pencil-whips the request by Nifong.
Kim Roberts steals $25,000.00, files a false report (911 call), lies to a Police Officer (how the AV got in her car),
violates her restitution agreement, violates her parole conditions repeatedly, and is fugitive from the state for months - and she spends 2 hours in Jail.
Don't try this at home!
Nifongery in action, no doubt. She's been Nifonged. Or is it Nifongated?
Is there a chance that Simeon will file as a write-in candidate for DA? He lost big in 2002.
