What Nifong is/was hoping, was to get to trial, get a friendly mostly Black jury, and then go for jury nullification, just like in the OJ trial. Looks like he probably won't get that far. Hope the farthest he gets is into a cell of his own.
You know, I think you are right, but somewhere deep inside me, I still cannot believe people are so dishonest.
His campaign manager said today that he didn't want to be DA, that he only ran because he needed 3 more years to retire. I almost ran screaming from the room when I read that.
But I still worry about a trial. You can see by looking at the NC legal system, you wouldn't want to bet your life on it.
