I tend to agree; hope I am right; and also hope that somewhere along the line Nifong did something to one or both of them that will make it easy for them to go for door #1.
I hope they go through door number 1 too, but their sacrafice of Nifong to the wolves fails and there is also a serious reform in NC giving the AG power to remove a case from a DA for cause, to prosecute a criminal DA and removing the power of the DA to schedule which case goes before what judge.
