I guess maybe I'm a little too cynical but I think the expensive lawyers and investigators may have stopped the prosecutor and police from hiding or planting evidence against these boys. Its a good thing the state threw the case out. With a local jury these boys may have been convicted anyway just from the accuser's testimony. It appears Nifong pressed the case mostly in order to get their votes.
