Nifong's Investigator To Lose His Job

You thought it was close to over, but it's not. The infamous Duke Lacrosse Case and the chaos that surrounds it is not out of the limelight yet. Its focus, for a brief moment, is on someone other than Nifong.

The News & Observer reported today that Linwood Wilson, Nifong's chief investigator, will not be employed at the Durham district attorney's office tomorrow. Wilson was a big part of the lacrosse case.

We wonder what would happen if we gave the Brogan Survey to North Carolinians now. Would their faith in the state's justice system be different than it was in May? Then, 64.6% of respondents felt the justice system in North Carolina "usually gets it right". Do you think some of those people will join the 22% who answered "usually gets it wrong"? How about you? Where do you stand?
