Jones on Nifong
The folks who organized the HK on J rally earlier this year held a news conference to update progress on their agenda Monday evening.
More on that later.
Rep. Earl Jones was one of those who spoke. And as much as he was pushing for the HK on J agenda, he also had some thoughts on the recent Duke Lacrosse case to share.
"Nifong was a deputy district attorney in Durham for 25 or 30 years, a predominantly black city. And the courtrooms are full of black folks. Is this the first time. No one has called for an investigation of the appropriate authorities ... no one has called for someone to investigate or at least have a review of some of the cases that he handled for the past 15 or 20 years," Jones said.
Um, Rep. Jones? I think you just made that call.
