#4  After reading the article, I have a little more sympathy for the guy - the crime occurred 31 years ago, he served his time. He would have been eligible to run if he had not circulated the petitions himself.

#3  Interesting comment from Hizonor in the story; to the effect that he wasn't the one what robbed the guy, he wuz only the wheel man, it wuz de udder guy what robbed him. Sounds like him and Nifong read from the same "101 Excuses for Elected Officials to Use to Deflect Responsibilities for Their Actions."
