He [Nifong] said he had never before encountered such determined pretrial resistance.

Duh, gee Nifong that's why is it prosecutor 101 not to go after people with means unless you have a really strong case. That is why it is prosecutor 101 to only move weak cases towards trial when they are against people who have a history with the criminal justice system will might deal rather than fight. Of course Nifong knows all this and only brought this case because he had to to win the primary and save his pension or so he thought.
