Nifong is playing with fire if he's playing this extortion game with this many people. If the defense gets ahold of them and gets just one to spill his guts about being coereced into certain testimony in exchange for having charges against them dropped, they can get others to tumble and Nifong could face subbornation of perjury charges.
The other thing is that many of these people arrested recently have been hit up with Worthless check charges. We know who heads up that program - Linwood Wilson. We know he uses bad judgement - he confronted the Defense lawyers at a Press conference for God Sake and got his head handed to him. According to Hannity tonight - her story was about ghost strippers (3 strippers) and 5 players have vaginal intercourse with her in the bathroom from the very beginning - and it went downhill from there.
Look at the terrible Judgement of Linwood Wilson confronting the Lead Defense Counsel in front of National TV Cameras and giving the Defense a double barrel opportunity to bring facts out and magnify them. If this type of judgement is being to pursue these witnesses, I could see how it could happen.
