Nifong has honesty
Over the past few weeks I have listened to the accusations regarding the election for district attorney and I can no longer remain silent. As a young prosecutor in Durham County, this is the biggest race for the office of district attorney ever, and at the center of this race is the question, "Will justice be equal for all?" Clearly, justice for all means a vote for Mike Nifong come May 2. However, not voting for Nifong would set justice for Durham County back 50 years or more.
On a recent visit with Nifong, I looked in his eyes and saw the one true characteristic that anyone should want in their district attorney, honesty. That honesty that is also reflected in his statement pertaining to the Duke-lacrosse case, "I want to stand for what is right, then be elected." Voting against Nifong would compromise the integrity and high ethical standards of our judicial system. I do believe that he is the best candidate for district attorney -- one that money cannot buy.
