I hadn't thought of Crystal claiming she only hung with the case because Nifong made her. That could explain Cash Michaels turn around. Nifong could have threatened to take away the kids, impose maximum sentencing for false accusations ..whatever. Nothing Nifong did or will do will surprise me. And such claims could form the foundation of endless suits. The Durham legal teams will be in court for decades.
I don't think Nifong could do anything that would surprise me at this point either other than dropping this case.
