The man has a firm grasp of the bleedin' obvious, then.

Considering the damage Nifong has done to the criminal system, among others, this case is no longer just a Durham problem.

To hell with you "Ding Dong."

You used this case to win reelection, and became a media whore that used a real whore to ruin the lives of many people so that you could keep your job.

Disgusting.

If there is any justice in this world (I know there is justice in the next) then you will be behind bars yourself soon.

"My handling of the media coverage of this case has occasioned substantial criticism, some of which is undoubtedly justified,"

I don't know much about the law not being an attorney. I know this case should have not been about his reelection. Peoples lives have been affected by his ineptitude.

With his above admission I would think it would warrant his being barred from running for office and his possible disbarment.

I both underestimated the level of media attention this case would draw...

Translated: "I thought I could get away with it and nobody would know."

"That having been said, this case remains a Durham problem and it demands a Durham solution.""



You grabbed the same sentence I did, it's probably nit-picking, but that still sounded faintly ominous to me, especially since the case appears to be a modern racist lynching of some out of state boys.

"....... this case remains a Durham problem

This case is a North Carolina problem. The damage this man is doing is immeasureable. Every dollar NC is spending to lure business to their state is money out the window as long as these cases are allowed to continue.

<< Nifong also said there was evidence he hoped to have in the case, such as DNA, but that it didn't pan out.

"There were things we hoped to have in terms of evidence that we ended up not having," >>

As in 'the "things" we hoped to have in terms of "evidence"' simply do not exist. There is no "evidence."

Electioneering......nothing more.

""....... this case remains a Durham problem and it demands a Durham solution."

I wouldn't trust a "Durham solution." Durham has been plagued by poor governance for a long, long time and outside of Duke university and a couple of nice neighborhoods is a real hole. A crime ridden, drug infested hole with some truly terrible schools.

Lewis Cheek only stepped up to the plate in order to lend a "nuance" of gravitas to Nifong. Nifong is now playing it up before the cameras. If Nifong were serious he'd be wearing Saucony's. ;>
