1) Do you think the FBI should investigate intimidation of potential jurors and witnesses, and death threats made against defendants, when these actions are undertaken by members of certified hate groups?
2) Do you think the FBI should investigate beatings of African-American citizens by white police officers, when racial epithets like "N___r!" and "boy!" are used by the officers involved?
"You can't really conduct trials in an atmosphere, where there is intimidation of witnesses, or where there is fear that something might happen," Nifong said. "The District Attorney's Office is not equipped to protect witnesses in any situation. There aren't any local witness protection programs, or anything of that nature. The fact is people are to some extent on their own, in terms of their protection."
