I'm stunned that Bernie Grimm said it should go to trial. He had been very strong for the defense side. Wow.

The standard for prosecuting a case is whether the prosecutor has a good faith belief that the case can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't see how Nifong could possibly believe he could prove his case unless he totally has his head in the sand.

It's more likely that he is going forward for political reasons and because he is stubborn and his ego is too big to admit he was wrong.

And yes, it's extremely unfair to the three players and their families. There's no way this case should be going forward and they shouldn't have to go through any of this for one more minute.

Yeah I wonder if Bernie drew a shot straw? Ted of course was quite willing to say it should go to trial. Maybe they did not want it to continue to be 3 against 1 and white against black on their panel and drew straws to see who had to side with Ted and Bernie lost?

Either that of Bernie was goofing on us?
