Then all charges will be dropped. This looks like exactly what will happen. It's the best outcome even for Nifong. In fact, it is so good, that I suspect it is a setup. Nifong can even claim he could have won the case, and that political backroom maneuvering in the bar association, this North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, and others, squeezed him out of a winnable case just to gain favor with the white, racist, power structure. This is just so neat - this has got to be the way it will end.
It's a setup or Nifong played it real cute knowing this kind of thing would happen - the Bar and now this group putting pressure on him to recuse himself. Reminds me of an old episode of I think it was called the Defenders on TV where a judge knows a black defendant is being railroaded and doesn't want to go along, but can't go head to head against all the good ole boys at the club, so makes such outrageously racist comments in court that he guarantees a retrial on appeal.
Excellent analysis. The old Raleigh shuffle. Will be interesting to see if Duke bails out Broadhead? I hope not. He should be frog-marched back to Princeton.
