Nifong is so bad that

when his friend, Durham defense attorney Tom Eagen, wrote a “vote for Mike” letter to the Durham Herald Sun, Eagen didn’t even try to defend Nifong’s actions in the Duke Hoax case.

Attorney Eagen offered readers plenty of “I’ve known Mike Nifong for more than 20 years [and he’s] working for the alleged victim and the community.”

But Attorney Eagen didn’t say anything about Nifong telling the police to violate there own identification procedures so that the alleged victim was told she would see only players believed to have been at the party. As Duke Law Professor James Coleman pointed out, that meant “there could be no wrong answers. Any three would do.”

We can all agree with Attorney Eagen that the violation of police procedures Nifong asked for helped the alleged victim.

But it didn’t help the community; or at least that part of it that wants a fair, honest DA.

Attorney Eagen doesn’t say anything about his “friend of 20 years” ridiculing people for hiring defense attorneys and claiming if they were not guilty they wouldn’t need attorneys.

Does Attorney Eagen believe all the people who retain him are guilty?

Attorney Eagan sounds like someone who's spent too much time working with DA Nifong.
