A special prosecutor from the State Attorney General's Office will prosecute Seagroves for manslaughter because Stephens will be prosecuting the young men charged with breaking into Seagroves's garage.

The State Attorney General was Mike Easley, current NC governor who APPOINTED Mike Nifong to his present job.

It does look like I have it backwards on who tried which case. Stephens did still charge the homeowner, but handed that one off it seems.
