DURHAM, N.C. — Disgraced prosecutor Mike Nifong didn't show up Thursday at a hearing to consider his immediate removal as Durham County district attorney, a position from which is has been suspended and already pledged to resign.
But Nifong, who was disbarred for his handling of the discredited Duke lacrosse rape case, told the attorney hired to prosecute his removal that he planned to resubmit his resignation Monday, making it effective immediately.
During a brief hearing, at which no one sat at the defendant's table, Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson said he would reconvene Monday to either accept Nifong's new resignation or issue an order kicking him out of office.
"I'm not going to make a rush to judgment in a couple of days over Mr. Nifong," Hudson said. "This is going be resolved on Monday. ... There is no defense for Mr. Nifong to these proceedings. So, you don't have to guess how this is going to turn out."
Also Thursday, another judge set a July 26 hearing to consider holding Nifong in criminal contempt of court. Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith III said he had found probable cause to believe Nifong "willfully and intentionally made false statements of material fact" during a hearing held last year in the lacrosse case.

He’s just another gutless scumbag who can dish it out but can’t take it...
Sue the bastard.
I was hoping he’d show up in that God awful housecoat he wore a few months back shooing away the media and retreiving his dog in his driveway....
Monday will be July 2. His pension thingy does not kick in until July 13. A ploy for 11 more days, somehow? I don’t see how it can happen, but when a lawyer really wants money...
What's Nifong's word worth? Not very much, as the judge intimates. But there's no harm in waiting another four days, and if Nifong doesn't produce the resignation, it looks as if the judge will give him the boot.
I wish they would do this to Fitz.
My high school English teacher would use the local newspaper to demonstrate how not to write.
