From Sowell's article:
Even after being re-elected, the district attorney cannot let his indictment collapse in public while there is nationwide attention focussed on this case 24-7.
What will be different next year? The public will have either forgotten the case or be tired of hearing about it. The D.A. can even turn the case over to some lawyer on his staff to take into court and see it either get thrown out by the judge or fail to convince a jury.
We will all be tired of hearing about it by then. We are the marks who will be cooled out.
So who's the weakest link for us to attack? The NandO? The Courthouse Crowd? The TV talking heads?
So let's make sure we don't get cooled out.
Frankly, I think one of the reasons Nifong is so irritable is that public attention hasn't gone away. He looks like a complete idiot for continuing to pursue this case.
