Until a judge forces the issue, we can expect Nifong to continue to lie. Was Judge Smith copied on the letter? The article suggests a motion, bit only mentions the letter. Did I miss something?
There was a motion already filed on this subject matter a while back. The letter would be in furtherance of that same motion. A copy should have been sent to the court, or certainly will be soon if Liefong doesn't comply, which he won't.
