Okay.
Is it a coincidence that Gottlieb went to that firm?
Maybe that is why Nifong took over the investigation?

Is Gottlieb a "Freda" cop, meaning that is where his loyalties have been since maybe forever? (I am talking working relationships.) I would not think Nifong had as much contact with Gottlieb in traffic court as did Freda during that time.

I may be wrong, but my sense is Freda could relate to the rank and file better than Nifong (touchy, feely, male).

We have the courthouse crowd divided into groups, cliques,whatever.

Nifong
Ashley
Tracey
Stormy
Couch
Nifong is close with Judge Stephenson

Freda..she worked well with what cops and what other ADA's?
Obviously sheworked well with Orlando, hence the rumors.

Simeon is an idot who was caught in Hardins office looking for case files (or another lame excuse such as that) and shortly ended up declaring in the race for DA against Hardin.

The Herald Sun went with Hardin, but as the lesser of 2 evils.

I "think" I read the Bar sends recommendations to the Gov regarding an appointee.
So maybe The Bar and Hardin signed off on Nifong?
The Committee? Did they voice an opinion to the Gov?

Bar likes Nifong better than Freda? Finesse is President. That answers my own question.

Lastly, all those who expected Freda to endorse Nifong raise...... nah ,maybe on another board, but no one at FR.

Nifong's immediate firing of Freda
did create an opening in the DA's staff.

Nifong was passed over so many times-
Hardin was an ambitious Duke law grad,
practically a kid when Jim Hunt appointed
him, to succeed Ron Stephens.

Received a call today from Mary Easley,
asking for support of Linda Stephens as
judge. Wanted to ask how her husband
Mike was doing over at the Gov's mansion,
seeing as Decker has just ratted on Jim Black.
Also how her colleague at NCCU, Joyner, was
doing monitoring the lax case for the NAACP.

But it was only a computer calling.
