Charges are dropped all the time whether or not a victim wants to go forward. The victim is not a party to the criminal action. It is the people v. John Doe. Nifong is the people for this purpose.
The only reason he is continuing this is he fears, bar sanctions, personal liability and possible criminal liability. The NC bar has already said they won't have a hearing until the case is over. A law suit if filed today could not go forward until the case were over. Thus prolonging this stops everything execpt the Department of Justice investigation.
Well, then, so much for my trying to be fair. Hang the SOB! ;-)
I know it won't be, but I think that should be OPEN to the public; he has humiliated these boys, why should he be humiliated?
And we all know the Bar isn't going to do squat to him.
I want to know the TRUTH.
But Liefong knows that prolonging it will not allow him to avoid the inevitable investigations and examinations, and may make any civil action against him even more damaging and expensive.
