Nifong is a not very bright fool. He ensured early national media coverage by going on TV some 70 times in the month following the case starting. He should have known that the media would initially take his side. But when the truth came out as it certainly did, the media would turn on him. He lied to them and they are very angry.
OH and as to Nifong never talking to the so called victim. It is very common for a Prosecutor to attend a meeting where some detective interviews the so called victim. Then the prosecutor can claim in court that he never talked to the victim let alone coached him or her on how to answer questions.
Like many others Nifong followed the rules that apply to cases where there is not much publicity.
He believed the old saw that says a prosecutor can do no wrong. That is true only as long as the public is on the prosecutors side.
Nifong need to learn that it does not matter what the law says a prosecutor can do. The only thing that is important is what the Judge and disbarment committee say the law says. He is toast.
This after he announced that he was demanding DNA from all the players since the accuser said they did NOT use condoms.
His constant tainting of the jury pool is clearly unethical, to say the least.
If he isn't disbarred the signal to other DA's will be very dangerous.
