You know, Nifong isn't really in any trouble in any of this.
HE didn't write the application for the warrants.
HE didn't write Gottlieb's report.
He is the DA; he has to rely on the investigations performed by the police, and the info they bring him.
If THEY were fabricating evidence and giving it to him, then--hey, then he was deceived, too. He was the victim.
He operated on good faith, never suspecting that his cops were fibbing to him.
watch Nifong indict Himan and Gottlieb. . .
Nifong could skate but he is the one that directed the controversial lineups, etc.

I don't think Nifong is giving up the fight.
And Nifong may be cooked because he said HE READ the Medical Report - when it was Not compiled or provided yet.
Further, I think it's his responsibility to independently review the evidence. I think that responsibility lies solely within his office.
One would think this case would not be his first choice for unprotected prosecution.
