[The Chief]

'Bout time sanity prevailed. Too bad it took our top cop to make it so. I do like the idea of the State Supreme Court being empowered to remove out of control prosecutors.

Nifong is a blight on our judicial system, and it is my earnest hope that he reaps what he has sown, and not just in the possibility of his being disbarred. People in everyday life have been sued for far less, and have paid a great price for their error. This is one "error" that does not deserve to be overlooked! I wonder if lawyers carry malpractice insurance?

As far as the "accuser," even without her name or likeness being made public, she has had her 15 minutes of fame; it remains to be seen if the laws in NC will allow her name to be used now that the charges have been dismissed, and dismissed in the strongest possible terms. Of course, our AG has stated that there will be no charges filed by his office, but I would encourage these young men to "go after her" with every legal remedy they have available, as it seems to those concerned that these men actually DO have a case, something their the accuser did not!
