When this had been underway for a while I happened to be spending some time where I came in contact with two lawyers and their wives at a out of town setting. These fellows each headed different law firms in North Carolina which is where I was at the time.
They both said Nifong was an incompetent attorney and should never have been given a position with such responsibility. They had no doubt it was a bogus case and told me that they expected that it would fall apart.
Fall apart it did, but only after hundreds of thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars were spent on what should never have gotten past the investigation stage.
Um, NO, Nifong, you corrupt @$$hole. You're not getting away with the subtle blaming of the university, "the rich" and everybody but who the blame really belongs on - YOU. Arrogant, disbarred, POS.
> Nifong said he still believes that Mangum was attacked in the bathroom, as does Cohan... Cohan writes that the charge that Nifong withheld evidence favorable to the defense was “a red herring.” This runs counter to findings from the N.C. State Bar and a Superior Court judge, who ruled that Nifong lied to the court and withheld evidence that helped prove the players’ innocence.
Looks like Cohen’s just the literary equivalent of an ambulance chaser. Thanks abb.
Nifong must be a hell of a charmer...able to consistently drag people into his gyre...where they drown.

and I for one will not be contributing to him trying to make a living.
so after destroying four lives, he wants to make money off of it?
Mary Mapes syndrome. He still doesn’t know what hit him.
The “victim” is now in prison for 2nd degree murder.
This will turn up on the $0.50 rack in about two weeks, and it still won’t move. What a stupid business decision by the publisher - hope they take a major bath.....
Absolutely NO ONE SHOULD BUY THIS BOOK OF BS.

Nifong is part of the 99% of lawyers who give the other 1% a bad name.

Crystal Gail Mangum escort service pole dancer was recently charged with second degree murder in the death of a male acquaintance ... she's a upstanding citizen no question.
She was also convicted.

Crystal Mangum found guilty of 2nd-degree murder
“I am convinced, frankly, that this woman suffered a trauma that night,” Cohan said in an interview Friday. “Something did happen in that bathroom.”
Did we ever learn the size of that bathroom? If “something did happen” in that bathroom, it would have to have happened with the 3 guys and liar Mangum packed in there like sardines unable to move a muscle. What she described not only didn’t happen, but couldn’t have happened, and Nifong knew but didn’t care.
If you will recall, the house was demolished in 2010 by Duke University, who owned it.
