In doing so, these lawyers simply followed Nifong's lead.
Nifong should quit the case because the defense team has successfully used the media? And the MSM wonders why their readership is down. No, Nifong should drop this case because he has no DNA, the ho can't keep her story straight and the accused have good alibis. If Nifong was a real man he would have dropped this case a long time ago and went after the lying drug addicted mentally unstable hooker.
My reaction to that opinion piece was the same as yours.
The defense lawyers 'used the media' and now there can be no conviction?
Perhaps Nifong should drop the case because there is something just a little bit wrong with trying to railroad young men into prison on the basis of a crude hoax--all for one's personal gain and profit.
