Those articles make me think there is going to be some CYA at work to cover Nifong, not much seeking of justice.

In the end the charges may be dropped, but I suspect they are looking to protect Nifong and Durham from potential lawsuit.

I agree. There could be a culture in Durham that supports Nifong-type activity and arrogance. I fear the Duke 3 are even more at risk now than when they were in the hands of Nifong and the obviously unreliable accuser. The new prosecutors may go after the 3 to forestall some of the inevitable litigation that will surely follow. (The Duke 3 and their families will have to sue to recover partial costs; this is probably costing the families hundreds of thousands of dollars each----and most of it is being spent in North Carolina! I fear the prosecutors will box the boys in.

What a fiasco!

FWIW, Roy Cooper, the North Carolina attorney general, is nearing the end of his second term as AG and will be gearing up for his re-election campaign in 2008.

It would be interesting to see if the new prosecutor would have the courage to charge Crystal Gail Mangum with making a false accusation. Then, it would be interesting if Ms. Mangum implicates Mike Nifong as the instigator.
