Olando Hudson is black--
Doesn't worry about the Committee.
He knows case is crap.
He does like being on TV.
My predicton it goes to him-
He will be fair. Has most respect
from public, black or white.
When working with Hardin, they
went thru a ream of hard-core
criminal cases to clear huge dockets.
They put the right people in jail,
which is very hard to do in Durham.
Nifong was only Other ADA to try in
front of Hudson. Hardin is Duke so out.
Hung or unanimous acquittal.
Durham and all its crooks will be the
ones on trial.
I think if you read that N&O arhives article on Orlando Hudson, you'll change your mind.
Hardin was zealous, and he used Hudson like a Hammer. He consistently went back to Hudson because of his prosecution-friendly rulings.
A lawsuit was filed. To file a lawsuit against a D.A., that's extraordinary.
Let me look to grab some verbage from that archives.
I can't do a link to it though.
Durham "Justice": Political And Intimidating,
NOT Colorblind And Fair
By Michael J. Gaynor
Jul 29, 2006
-excerpts-
"In the sensational, but said, soap opera that is
the Duke case, the right question is not whether
the Duke Three will escape justice (their indictments
were unjust and their continued prosecution is an
egregious abuse of prosecutorial power), but whether
their accuser and prosecutor will escape justice. "
"...the Duke Three are the ones under indictment,
but now Mr. Nifong and the Duke establishment
are the ones under examination, in need of purification
and due to be punished,..." [add Durham public officials]
"A local establishment is loathe to admit that its
District Attorney is a rogue and is tempted not only
to overlook prosecutorial misconduct, but to help cover it up."
