Another great quote from the letter..."As I have said, it’s essential that we allow the criminal justice system to run its course, and that we wait for the truth to be established before we reach final judgment. In the meanwhile, we need to remember that the American legal system is based on the principle of the presumption of innocence. When he handed down his third indictment on May 15, District Attorney Nifong stated that no other students were under investigation; with the cloud of suspicion lifted from other members of the team, the legal case has taken on finite boundaries. Now we must wait for the legal process to do its work."
He is apparently a complete idiot. As of June 5 he still combines "presumption of innocence" and "nifong" in the same sentence.
what are the options for residents of Durham? Nifong apparently won the D primary, with no R's running, so he just stays in office? Is there a procedure to remove him? Can people write-in in the general election? He really has to go ... he's single-handedly offered those boys' families the right to sue Durham and end up basically owning the town/county by the time this is over.
