The difference is that this time the prosecutor's misconduct was discovered BEFORE conviction.
The scary part is that Coman stated in the bar action that he'd have withheld that same evidence, which is unlawful under NC law - not exactly a confidence-builder for his management for this case.
Winstead is a white apologist, I believe. I wish we had some information as to the quality of the relationship she had with Nifong when she worked in the Durham DA's office.
The eyes of the nation will be on THIS case. Would they even dare to be lenient on Nifong?
