It ain't dead yet, Laz.

Well, it was coughin' up blood last night.

Lol, it'll be dead when that iron door slams shut on the Fonger and he's in jail for malicious prosecution. Hell, I may visit North Carolina and visit the sob in jail just to gloat...

It's unlawful for a student to hurl racial slurs at a Durham police officer but okay for the BALD cop to hurl racial slurs at the Blinco's cook.

Officer: Student used racial slurs

A 19-year-old Lakeview School student was arrested Monday for allegedly causing a disturbance in class during which she allegedly hurled racial slurs at a Durham police officer.

India Link, 16, of 715 Torredge Road, was charged with one count of disorderly conduct for allegedly calling Officer K.K. Crews a racial epithet.

Magistrate Chet Dobies ordered that Link be held at the jail until 10 p.m. before her mother be allowed to post $1,000 bond. Link is scheduled to appear November 6 in Durham County District Court.

trashing the DA in public is not the best idea...

No?? Care to point out the down side? Whats it going to do? "Inflame" public opinion? Bias potential witnesses?

Fact is, defacto silence has enabled Nifong and since the local media won't print anything "opinionated" against him, I think Finnerty is doing himself and everyone else a service. I just wish more people would speak up and get their quotes in the local paper, especially before the upcoming election. You can't win against evil if you stay silent. Most people are not following the case like we are and theyre not reading the National Journal or Liestoppers blog or National Review. They're just reading "non-judgemnental, balanced " "news" from the N&O and the Hearld Sun... They need to be "educated".

Nifong responded that revocation of law licenses should be the penalty for violating the rules.

You want to bet that the above words will come back to haunt Nifong?

[Sue Perkick]

The same DA who called his son a "hooligan"?

In public is the only place they have any hope of getting justice. You don't seriously think this is best left in the hands of the Durham system. It's one big "rat" infested bed they all share. Nifong has mishandled this case from the beginning. It needs to be very public.

Excellent! Bears repeating.

[JLS]

She was not arrested for yelling a racial name at the cop. She was arrested for disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct laws are on the books to allow the police to arrest anyone they want. When no being abused that is probably ok as it allows the police to defuses situations before a serious life changing crime is committed in anger.

Nifong has said from the start -- and he's as good as his word-- that he'll prosecute this case even if there's no DNA evidence to support it.

Interesting comments on the Allinforaboutcrime.com site, but as we all know this is not what Nifong said from the start. But then we who have followed the case know what a liar Nifong is too.

I thought Kevin Finnerty's comments were fairly mild considering what Nifong is doing to his son. At any rate, I'm glad he said it.

[Sue Perkick]

A lot milder than mine would have been, that's for sure.

No DNA is not reads "reasonable doubt", it reads "Crystal is a frigg'n lying wh***........who thought the rich, white boy familes would settle out of court.
