I have no idea what the connection between Durham and DC could be other than prosecutors like to help each other out.
Look at all the talking head prosecutors that go on TV and say Nifong must have something and he's been a prosecutor for 27 years etc. They still support him in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
The judge didn't have to rush this thing to trial. It could have waited - which is what Finnerty's lawyers wanted. I think he was biased from the start.
But what gets me is that the DC prosecutors have to have KNOWN, by this point, that the Durham trial is a hoax.
Are they that willing to still help out? (I could have understood if this was at the start, and they believed that Nifong really had a case.)
Is this in return for another favor?
Is Bayly from NC?
I'm looking for a connection.
