This is a slam-dunk for the Feds if they want it.
Any of you legal-eagles out there: Is there any reason why the Feds would NOT want to take action in this case?
Do you think it is "possible" that state law takes precedence in this matter? I do.. It's got to grind through the state.
I'll take a shot. Because they are wimps?
I'd use harsher language but I don't want to get banned.
Not a legal eagle...but the Feds will not take a position so long as there is a criminal case pending. They won't jeopardize due process.
They will also wait to see what action the state bar -- and the state -- might take. They have primary jurisdiction.
At some point, though, the case will be dropped. And if Nifong's ass isn't put through a legal wringer by all concerned, it will be a gross miscarriage of justice.
