Nifong. Get your own attorney. Now. Because this case will be dismissed and you will be charged with malicious prosecution.
To: Arec Barrwin
Without the interview, why is there even a "case"? Those kids were persecuted for no reason.

What a travesty. These kids made a mistake by inviting strippers to their party but this has gone beyond the ridiculous. Nifong is a complete and utter piece of poo.

This is the weirdest case I have ever seen
To: Arec Barrwin
There really ought to be an effort by the courts of N.C. to remove Nifong from this case and disbar him from further practice!

How are the defendents supposed to have a right to a fair and SPEEDY trial if the friggen prosecutor hasn't even interviewed the accuser after all this time?

Three innocent men may spend decades in prison so that Nifong can be re-elected, but that's OK because he's a Democrat. I wonder if any governor of North Carolina would have the courage to issue them pardons if the trial is a travesty, as it looks likely to be.

What happened to the right of a speedy trial? "Justice delayed is justice denied."

He is setting up the cops and those who did interview her to take the fall when he dismisses the case. What a jerk.

Not for "no reason". They were persecuted for being rich white kids in a town with a large black population and a prosecutor seeking re-election. If the stripper was white and everything else was the same, Nifong wouldn't have persued it.

This district attorney seems to be set on self destruct.
To: Arec Barrwin
I think he's trying to set up a scenario of plausible deniability for himself in the almost certain eventuality now that he will be sitting in the defendants chair & facing charges himself for prosecutorial abuse & public corruption. He's just trying to establish a defense of nonfeasance as opposed to malfeasance in future civil & criminal procedings against him. He so totally knows everybody's on to him now. What a crook.

Nifong should not only lose his job, but be jailed for this sham case he has brought against these students.
He should also be made to re-embursh the legal fees of these students.
To: Arec Barrwin
We're not at that stage yet. They'll be at that stage on November 8.

The sad truth is that this sort of thing happens a lot more frequently than we'd like to admit. The difference between those cases and this one is that Nifong was dumb enough and made enough mistakes to get caught at it. But these kinds of acts on the part of DAs is far more common than we generally think.

They were persecuted because the district is very black, Nifong needed the black vote, and he played the race card to get re-elected.

This is irritating. This was published more than three weeks ago in the local newspaper, and now because CNN and AP deem it "Newsworthy" they decide to carry the story. I think CNN and AP are merely trying to push the Harold Ford, Jr. and Jim Webb stories off the news with this "revelation" of Mike Nifong, which is old news.

Doubtful. At best, he might lose his election, but I doubt he'll ever be charged. Prosecutorial misconduct never gets prosecuted.
