“….Rumor has it that people are urging former District Attorney Nancy Lamb to run against Republican (State) Rep. Bob Steinberg in Northeastern North Carolina….

If the idea of a spectacularly misguided “ritual abuse” prosecutor pursuing a further political career seems unlikely, consider that two of the worst actors in the Fells Acres (Gerald Amirault) case – Scott Harshbarger and Martha Coakley – both went on to election as Massachusetts attorney general.
And Janet Reno, prosecutor of the Country Walk (Frank Fuster) case became U.S. attorney general.
