Coman and Winstead are about the last two I would want to be investigating Nifong, since they can be expected to protect him at the expense of justice, if we can judge by their past performance.
".......the last two I would want to be investigating Nifong,"
I didn't read that they are investigating Nifong, but that they are taking over the prosecution's case against Finnerty, Evans and Seligman.

The good news is they are not investigating Nifong. Now they may sit on evidence of guilt on Nifong's part they find in their investigation. But their assignment is to prosecute NC v. Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann.
Hopefully they will act in good faith as prosecutors and examine the matter and conclude there was no crime what so ever committed against Mangum at the party. I really do suspect that the AG picked his own justice obstruction rationalizer and tape eraser because both of them need the aura of justice seeking that will attach to them when they drop this case.
But clearly, I could be wrong. The article to start this thread is a good reminder of that. Odd though that the N&O are on this one guy in particular? I wonder what he did to someone there?
