Nifong has been publicly and nationally disgraced since December 15th and the Meehan debacle, so suddenly we have players coming out of the woodwork to spin, excuse, revise, and disassociate.<br /><br />Pension and election are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they can NOT be mutually exclusive. Nifong had to win the primary. Freda Black was WAY ahead in polls over Nifong. She would have fired him if she won the primary (because, she would have been the only candidate on the ballot and was assured a win, just as Nifong assumed that if he won the primary, the election was effectively won). <br /><br />It may have been about pension, but it follows that it had to be about winning the primary in order to get the pension. Brown has to know this. It is unreasonable to accept that she was not able to fully understand that it was ONLY the primary that Nifong had to win.<br /><br />I say Brown is covering her buttinsky. She was involved in that campaign with Nifong at the time he created a frame to get the black vote, and she wants to now disassociate. Nifong knew exactly what he was doing. <br /><br />Bottom line was money. The ONLY thing he had to do was win the primary to get it. Retirement and election can NOT be separated. <br /><br />Shame on Brown for a tawdry attempt to clean her own slate. (Then again, would there be anything to the idea that perhaps she's trying to touch-up Nifong's slate in the face of bar discipline and litigation?)<br /><br />Brown also said that Nifong is a bulldog who will not give up his bone (this case). While certainly indicative of a personality issue, the bottom line is, again, about money. Every day that he can keep this case going is a day averaged into his pension amount, at the higher DA salary. <br /><br />TwaddlefreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-87767488282471994682007-01-11T00:44:00.000-05:002007-01-11T00:44:00.000-05:00JLS says....

I disagree because Black had the name recognition, but I will entertain your point.<br /><br />But surely you agree once Mangum started the hoax and the pot bangers got out there sliming the lacrosse team along with the race baiter at Duke and in the community, Nifong would have lost the primary had he not indicted someone? So it was still about the primary. He suppressed evidence and got a grand jury to indict people he knew were likely innocent to win a primary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-38003210021839016862007-01-11T00:16:00.000-05:002007-01-11T00:16:00.000-05:00I want to add that it was the primary where Nifong...I want to add that it was the primary where Nifong had real competition from Freda Black. The reason Nifong even had competition in a general election was because of a lacrosse case. And even then Nifong's main competition Lewis Cheek said he won't accept the job if elected. Why would election be more important than the primary?

So, it's a primary that was a big deal-before the primary, Nifong had every reason to believe that if he won the primary, he was going to be elected in the general election without any competition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-76417655902483426102007-01-10T23:52:00.000-05:002007-01-10T23:52:00.000-05:00JLS - I respectfully disagree.

He was most likely going to win the primary without the LAX case (imo). <br /><br />Recall that the primary was held 5/2 -- it wasn't until after the primary that most citizens realized what was really going on in the LAX case. The blogs were way out in front of MSM on this case and the majority of the people don't read the blogs. <br /><br />This case became much more of an issue after the primary. Nifong definitely won in the general election as a direct result of his actions in this case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-49868630091835106402007-01-10T23:21:00.000-05:002007-01-10T23:21:00.000-05:00JLS says....

If you or I went to Duke and did millions of dollars of damage in vandalism, we would be charged with felonies. <br /><br />Nifong, on the other hand, has engaged in activities that have cost millions of dollars, all for a hoax.

The university has rallied to address both the specifics of the way it handled the team's behavior and the larger questions about the atmosphere on campus. The national media haven't slowed their virulent drum beat (particularly the obnoxious talking heads on cable), while local papers have done a good job digging out the issues. But Nifong, those local stories make clear, has failed to recognize the extent of his mistakes, correct them, and reassure the people of Durham (and around the world) that justice here is fair and unbiased.<br /><br />For that reason, he should step down from the case and ask either the state Attorney General's office to take over or ask the Administrative Office of the Courts to appoint a prosecutor from another district....<br /><br />The entire serving of tripe can be found here:<br />http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A42438<br /><br />QuinnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-42039037580263869132007-01-10T19:54:00.000-05:002007-01-10T19:54:00.000-05:00Posters 6:04 and 7:27...
