Nifong Didn't Intentionally Lie, His Attorney Says
Disgraced, disbarred, and former DA Nifong's hearing to determine whether he should be held in criminal contempt of court started off this morning with this dubious defense strategy by his defense attorney.
“Although the statements were not literally true, they were not willfully or purposefully lies.”
So far DA Nifong is making a strong bid to appear in the next addition of "A Treasury of Deception: Liars, Misleaders, Hoodwinkers, and the Extraordinary True Stories of History's Greatest Hoaxes, Fakes and Frauds"

We're all certain he opened his mouth on purpose!

I dunno about you, but I am not even gonna touch that, too many lawyer jokes as it is.
You can't make this stuff up, truth IS stranger than fiction!
