It's one thing to try a case in the media once you've filed charges, but to do so while an 'investigation' is still underway strikes me as beyond the prosecutorial pale. I'm guessing that this guy is up for re-election, or is thinking about running for a higher office.
DURHAM, N.C. -- Durham County's district attorney says a clerical error is to blame for charges against an accused child rapist being dismissed by his office. In February 2004, police arrested and charged Norman Brooks in the alleged molestation and rape of Bobby Parker's young daughter. But in September 2005, the charges against Brooks were dropped and the case was dismissed. "This is clearly the fault of this office," said Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong.

Nifong, who has said he doesn't necessarily need DNA evidence to prosecute, was calmly defiant at Tuesday's forum, attended by about 700 people on the campus of North Carolina Central University, the historically black university a few miles from Duke where the alleged victim is a student.
Looks like you are on to something. The man is willing to smear innocent white students in order to get in good with the black vote. He is doing open forums on the 'victim's' campus. I'm surprised Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton weren't standing next to him.
