While justice is great to have once in a while, what is sad is wondering how many Nifongs are there out there, railroading people to pad their political resume.
Does the name “Fitzgerald” ring a brll?
You can lump Ronnie Earle of Travis county TX in with that bunch.
And I'd venture a guess that the overwhelming majority of these out-of-control "Nifongs" are Democrats and that the defendants they "railroad" are frequently white middle class and/or professional males. Just cases of acting out their hatred for a typically conservative demographic stereotype.
The Duke lacrosse players pulled a rare upset in this case. Most of the victims of these rash prosecutorial tactics wind up convicted with harsh sentences. Just ask "Scooter" Libby.

See Dorothy Rabinowitz’s Wall Stret Journal columns on the Amiraults and Grant Snowden. There is convincing evidence that all were Nifonged.
