There is two pages devoted to Mr. Nifong's public statements on the case. I agree with the defense that he violated the rules of professional conduct, a topic I discussed fully here with quotes from the rules.
There have been two New Black Panthers on tv the past two nights. One was on The Lineup with Kimberly Guilfoyle and is a lawyer and articulate. Another was on Hannity and Colmes tonight -- he said he is the "national chief of staff" for the party. He was terrible. He didn't answer any questions directly, gave the black power salute a few times, was extremely disingenous about who invited the Party to Durham on behalf of the woman and finally acknowledging that it was "the community" that invited them.
Last night I thought the Party was being unfairly portrayed by the media for showing photos of them demonstrating with weapons, when there is no evidence they are armed in Durham. However, I've changed my mind. Tonight, the national chief of staff gave this answer (this is from my memory, not a transcript) when Sean Hannity asked if they were armed. "That's for me to know and you to find out. They shot Medgar Evers."
Update: Thanks to first time commenter blcc below who notes the News Observer reported today that in one of the defense filings today,
In 1998 the accuser told police that her ex-husband had tried to kill her, according to the court filings.
The accuser's ex-husband has been blabbing to the media. I wonder what he has to say about this.
