No?? Care to point out the down side? Whats it going to do? "Inflame" public opinion? Bias potential witnesses?
Fact is, defacto silence has enabled Nifong and since the local media won't print anything "opinionated" against him, I think Finnerty is doing himself and everyone else a service. I just wish more people would speak up and get their quotes in the local paper, especially before the upcoming election. You can't win against evil if you stay silent. Most people are not following the case like we are and theyre not reading the National Journal or Liestoppers blog or National Review. They're just reading "non-judgemnental, balanced " "news" from the N&O and the Hearld Sun... They need to be "educated".
In public is the only place they have any hope of getting justice. You don't seriously think this is best left in the hands of the Durham system. It's one big "rat" infested bed they all share. Nifong has mishandled this case from the beginning. It needs to be very public.
I thought Kevin Finnerty's comments were fairly mild considering what Nifong is doing to his son. At any rate, I'm glad he said it.
