Predicted final settlement

1. All charges dropped with a "half apology"
2. Since county is an instrumentality of the State, State will settle damage claim for about $2,000.000 to $5,000,000 each accused, plus lawyers fees.
3. Mr. Nifong will leave DA post for "family reasons" and open a small, low profile law practice. In is book, he will blame the cops.
4. A Jessie Jackson type will be called in for some "healing."
5. Accuser will be given enough money to "finish school," but she will blow it on drugs, etc. She will be in trouble with law again within 5 years.
6. One of accused's parents will write a book and get a $50K advance.

My predictions:

1. Case will be dropped within two months.
2. Liberal papers will write editorial containing the following phrases ... "we may never know what really happened", "we hope the families do not pursue civil lawsuits ... it's time to move on and heal our community", and "still much to do to remove racism from our society."
3. Facing civil lawsuits and a criminal trial, NiFong puts a bullet in his head ...
