It looks like the prosecution is making a end around in order to get to the bottom of this big mess. Old Roy and the NC crew might be in a whole lot of trouble if Nyang'oro is granted immunity and if he tells what really happened and who were the bad guys.

"Nyang'oro has been interviewed on several occasions by Mr. Wainstein and his staff and has agreed to continue cooperating as needed," Woodall said.

Wainstein's investigation, which is expected to be finished in the fall, likely will play a significant role in the NCAA's second investigation into academic misconduct at UNC. ... Woodall said in an interview that he decided to drop the charge to help Wainstein dig into the scandal. Woodall said even if he succeeded in convicting Nyang'oro of the felony charge, it would likely result in unsupervised probation, and very little insight as to how the scandal began and why it continued.

"The only way you are going to come close to getting to the bottom of it is by getting Nyang'oro, who very clearly is a major player, to talk about it in a way that he explains the nuts and bolts of what was occurring," Woodall said. "That was never going to happen in a criminal trial."

The charge the 59-year-old Nyang'oro was facing was over $12,000 he received three years ago for a class -- AFAM 280: Blacks in North Carolina -- that he was found to have never taught. Nyang'oro was charged for this last year. And though he's never spoken publicly about the scandal, he has been talking plenty with Wainstein.
