That's what I took it to mean.
I don't think Nifong is going to agree not to try them.
Nifong is said to be stubborn and when he gets a bug up his butt, there is no stopping him. He fancies himself as a courtroom wizard and there are those who say he is good at that.
I cannot see him dropping the charges.
Either Precious recants or something big breaks from within the courthouse or DPD. Otherwise, the trial is on as scheduled.
