Nifong’s Replacement Is No Prize

This past Friday’s Raleigh News and Observer contained a troubling article about James Coman, the special prosecutor appointed to take Mike Nifong’s place on the Duke rape case. If the article is to be bedlieved – and I have absolutely no reason to question the facts set forth in the article – Mr. Coman would appear to have the same admirable devotion to truth and justice as our friend Mr. Nifong. Must be some kind of a chip that they implant in these guys’ brains when they become prosecutors that makes them want to ignore the truth, and the law, in the pursuit of convictions.
