Aronberg did not want his name changed to Nifong.
I’ve met Mr. Aronberg and believe him to be an honorable man. He has high political ambitions and is a Democrat. However, he also respects the rule of law. In this case he did the right thing, not the politically expedient thing. It is particularly noteworthy he performed his job as quietly as possible without the fabricated daily press conferences we’ve come to expect from prosecutors seeking air time.
If only Florida state’s attorney Angela Corey, a Republican, had performed her job as responsibly in the George Zimmerman prosecution. It seemed like she was on television daily helping to drive the national media spectacle and lynch mob.
When a Democrat politician performs his or her civic duty well, we should give him credit.
