The only way all sides will ever be convinced that this case has been handled fairly is if someone other than Mike Nifong handles it. The defendants deserve that; the accuser deserves that; and most important, the people deserve that. Let Nifong pick the prosecutor; if his handpicked choice believes there is no case, or no case against one or more of the defendants Nifong has indicted, then so be it. Nifong should have no reason to complain if his own choice disagrees with him.
NiFong will let this go to trial which will simply be a dump on the judge. The defense will file a motion to dismiss on a preponderence of evidence and NiFong will walk away. He's put all the "rich folks" through a lot of trouble and that's just what he wanted and drove the blacks to the polls. He had nothing to lose.
After all, who in the world ever heard of NiFong before this happened except the locals.
