At this point, if Nifong is offered up as a scapegoat everyone else will walk away practically unscathed. The only way the trial would be held in Durham would be if some judges were willing to stick their necks out for Mike Nifong. Since the case has received enough attention that Nifong is almost certainly going to be in big trouble regardless of what anyone does to help him, I see no reason to expect anyone else to want to join him.
Nifong is toast, the real question is the president (Broadhead) of Duke and the 88 super losers who signed the infamous letter. There is a real opportunity here to break the back of the liberal establishment at a major university in a single stroke.
