A poster on the Durham In Wonderland blog comments posted this last night around 8 p.m.:
Governor Easley spoke at NYU Law School today and criticized the
conduct of Mike Nifong in the Duke case and said it was a bad
appointment and that he appointed Nifong in part as a replacement
because he said he would not run again.He said he did not
know what the evidence would demonstrate in the case but as a former
prosecutor he could say that Nifong’s public comments about the accused
were wrong.He did mention the racist remarks made that night
by some lacrosse players. I am not sure how that relates to the accused
as none of them were accused of making these remarks but I believe he
wanted to criticize Nifong but not go as far as to say that this was a
miscarriage of justice. This could be for political reasons.This is interesting as it is the first time that I am aware of, the governor openly criticizing Nifong’s conduct.
Just wondering if anyone had seen a report on this.
