DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Nine months after the Duke lacrosse scandal broke, hardly anyone is willing to defend the prosecutor.
Defense attorneys, legal experts and even longtime colleagues are raising serious questions about District Attorney Mike Nifong's judgment and integrity. The central question: Why is he pressing on with a case that looks pitifully weak and is getting weaker all the time?
"I think they're going to be found not guilty — if they go to trial," said Bob Brown, an attorney in private practice who once worked with Nifong in the prosecutor's office and faced him as a public defender. "The trial will be a bloodbath."
