Who knows what the real story is. As for the prosecutor, their job is to put someone behind bars, period.

their job is to put the right person behind bars...not just whos convenient.

if he really is innocent, then he would be trying to clear his name after he broke out. if hes just sipping mai tai’s on a someones couch, then hes guilty.

No. That's what Mike Nifong thought his job was. A big part of it is to make sure people aren't railroaded.

NO the prosecutor’s job is the administration of justice NOT TO PUT people behind bars.

That unfortunatly is the misconception that infests the ranks of prosecutors and gives us Nifongs as a matter of routine.

Justice can also mean a person is cleared or charges dropped when the evidence does not hold up. Prosecutors screw with peoples lives they do not have a job to be a thug to pound peoples lives.

Prosecutors are to hold a trust not an assembly line.
