The Conversion of Cash
Over the past two weeks we have witnessed a not-so-subtle conversion by Cash Michaels from one of the most ardent and outspoken Nifong apologists to vocal and discerning critic. At times we have not always seen eye to eye with Mr. Michaels. Despite our differences, we must applaud his willingness to inspect closer not only the apparent weaknesses in Mr. Nifong's case but also the transparency of his motives.
Along the way, Mr. Michaels wonders out loud why Police Chief Chalmers, Mayor Bell and City Manager Baker would continue to support Mr. Nifong when it appears that he is guilty of pandering for votes. While Mr. Michaels doesn't quite go so far in his article as to accuse Mr. Nifong of running a "snow job", he does offer many pointed criticisms and questions.
Since we are giving Mr. Michaels' his props this week, we must also note the courage and character he demonstrated by his willingness to join some his most determined and insightful critics on the WTVD discussion board. We applaud his willingness to stand for what he believes in, to not hide from his critics and to begin to ask the critical questions of both Mr. Nifong and other community leaders who may have enabled this farce.

It's all over now, Baby Blew.
Buh-Bye, Mikey.
Michaels asks the toughtest question of all. Yes, we think we know the Fong did all this to get elected, but why did DPD go along?
The responding officers - John Shelton
and Gwendolyn Sutton didn't go along.
They documented the recantations and changing stories by this woman (AV).
Great post. I think we all should give Cash credit for coming on the abc11 board and taking comments. He spent a great deal of time doing that. His column today shows that he is ultimately interested in the truth. He still has his issues, many of which I disagree with, but in a case of like this we should make an effort to recognize those that switch sides based on the facts and evidence.
Susan Estrich and now Cash Michaels.
President Brodhead, we are still waiting.
Cash on WLIB-AM with Gary Byrd this morning.
Listen
Cash is still on the side of the victim. He has never jumped ship. Is that what you think??.....wrong again.He is only holding Mike Nifong accountable as to whether he has the evidence to back up his claims. I think he does have evidence to prove guilt. He will prove it in the courtroom and not outside on the courthouse steps.
