This guy is a buffoon. He has put a black eye on the entire legal system in this country.
I also think “idiot” and Nifong should become synonyms in the next Websters dictionary.

I wonder how many poor men Nifong railroaded similarly?

He was willing to send three young men to jail for 30 years just so that he could get his pension. What we learned from this case is that an unscrupulous district attorney can use the unbridled power of the state to corrupt justice. Fortunately the facts of this case were made public and there were enough individuals (KC Johnson, in particular) and news organizations (60 Minutes in particular) that were willing to step forward and expose the corruption of justice being perpetrated by Nifong so that finally the bar association was forced to take action.

I’m just an average citizen who, fortunately, has never had to go into a courtroom for anything. But just looking at this guy makes me wonder if he has some mental imbalance. Why doesn’t he just admit he was wrong?
