Disgraced former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong has laid low for more than a year, but he came out in public yesterday to canvass for Barack Obama (this is a Herald-Sun story, but I’m linking to another source because The Herald-Sun requires registration):
Even former District Attorney Mike Nifong, who lost his job last year because of the Duke lacrosse scandal, spent much of Saturday morning canvassing homes for the Democratic presidential hopeful.
“He’s the right man at the right time,” said Nifong. “We need to get him elected.”
Local Obama spokesman Paul Cox said later that Nifong “has no official role in the campaign and was not recruited by the campaign. He simply showed up as a volunteer.”
