I'm pretty sure that I've read elsewhere that the real father of the kids has been established as the father by court order. So, the kids McNeil's in jail for not supporting are probably some other kids. But that doesn't mean Nifong isn't using that as a hammer anyway. In other words, it doesn't need to be Mnagum's kids that are the subject of the failure to provide and domestic violence charges anymore than the charges against the cabbie needed to be associated with Mangum - no need in either case.
That is true, it could be half the kids in Durham! It appears to be quite a circus over there.

Exactly! It the pressure Nifong wants. He can hold someone in jail for 14 months and drop the charges the day of court - or give probation. Or let a judge rule.
Look at what he did with Robbery charge. His "victim" says Kim took $2000.00. Nifong tells the Media the victim said the Players took $400.00 and he found the money in the house CONSISTENT with the AV's story. He tells the media over and over they took her money, he uses the Common Law Robbery charges to get search warrants and court approval - then the charge quietly goes away. No explanation from Nifong.
Jezebelle makes an excellent point - and I've said this from the beginning - we have to judge everything from Nifong's perspective, and his ethics. He really has no one to answer to.
