This country is supposed to be a constitutionally limited republic. The problem here was not the abuse of power, it was the power to abuse.<BR/><BR/>I believe that any aquitted or charged-dropped defendant should have all his attorney fees reimbursed by the state. At the least, the defendent should be allowed the same resources of the state.<BR/><BR/>When people talk of freedom, they seldom mention that freedom is FROM govenment not by government.<BR/><BR/>If these defendents had been railroaded drug users where the state uses criminal lying informants, they would likely have no dna to use to prove themselves innocent. In these cases, the prosecutors have too much power, and it's very easy to see them become arogant like nifong. <BR/><BR/>HE is not the one bad apple in the barrel.
