Old -- I know that the way to advance in any career is by being a hot shot. Yet how many times have you ever heard of a DA failing to get a grand jury indictment and still pursuing a murder case against the accused? I'm fairly certain that it is NOT the norm in American jurisprudence for the Office of the District Attorney to disregard the findings of a convened grand jury and press ahead with an indictment anyway. That sounds less like pursuing justice and a lot more like advancing an agenda. Too much of that usually finds a DA in the same boat as Mike Nifong.
