After a prosecution rife with horrendous errors of judgment and prosecutorial misconduct the state of North Carolina has decided to let Mike Nifong stand or fall on his own. Having attempted to railroad 3 innocent young men, in a manner that should chill anyone, I can only hope he gets what he deserves.
Is the state’s motivation in hanging him out to dry simply justice and a strict reading of regulations as this Breitbart article states or is it a jaded effort to distance the state and hope the attorneys for the falsely accused men don’t set their sights on the really deep pockets? I don’t know, and I honestly don’t care. As District Attorney Nifong’s job was to ensure actual criminals were prosecuted and convicted for their crimes, in this case he failed to do that and instead attempted to make his bones on the backs of three men who committed no crime.
