[Woody] Vann said the many of the things complained about, including the belated disclosure of the DNA results, can be explained away as oversights or poor judgment - not misconduct on Nifong's part. "He did spend 28 years in the DA's office of being involved with cases of all nature - some, many as serious and more serious than this one - where he has performed his job at the highest standards," the lawyer said.

That may be true, but he was not running for political office during those years. Political power changes a person, many times for the worse.

I find it hard to digest that a person who took such great lengths to misrepresent the "initial" lab findings, which only he has had since April or May 2006, who avoided releasing the full DNA report, presented a letter from Meehan in open Court opposing release of same calling it a "witch hunt," and who lied in open Court to Judge Smith, stating he had released all copies of the lab reports, forgot to release such reports. It is simply not logical, and I doubt that Judge Smith, who sat in the hearings with Nifong, who claimed he had released all DNA Reports, then opposed the release of such with a letter from Meehan, and is then caught in collusion with Meehan about what to release and not to release will be believed. It is simply not credible.
