FYI
Is this the first time a city official has called for Nifong to resign?
What’s the worst that can happen to him? I really, really want him to suffer.
“Nifong is toast.”
I sure hope so.
“It’s time for the district attorney to remove himself, to step down, so we can move forward as a community,” Stith said.
As the article also points out, the entire justice system of North Carolina has been “smeared” by Nifong. The only way it can purge itself is to see to it that the guilty party pays for his crimes. When a DA commits multiple felonies, he must pay the price or the whole justice system falls into doubt.
There are so many people who need to be punished severely for their actions in this case--and I hope each and every one of them pays--BIG TIME!
HOW DOES this woman have children and who is taking care of them? Where are the authorities? And she has a 4.0? Is she “doing” all her college professors? Unbelievable..................
They should sue the PANTS off Nifong, the state and anyone who had anything to do with this. I live in Atlanta where the three lying police officers shot an innocent 92 year old woman for NOTHING. I’m sick of it.
There aren't just State Statutes involved here, but some Federal ones as well.
It appears that Nifong is guilty of multiple violations of 18 USC 242. If anyone bothers to charge him under that Statute he could be looking at a life sentence.
Now that would be some justice.

She has been banned. FYI.
I'm not a lawyer so I dont know. I have read that the feds could charge him with violating the civil rights of the three defendants. Also that the local authorities could charge him with obstruction of justice for withholding the DNA evidence. Both are criminal charges.
My gut feeling is that neither will happen, he will lose his bar card and his pension and his colleagues will decide "he's been punished enough."
Of course there is no guarantee that he will lose his pension; they could find a job for him that doesnt require a law license and let him stay a couple more years until he can collect it.

Who has been banned, and for what?
Howlin. Don’t know why, but it may have been something to do with this post:

JR had referenced it quite a bit. Not sure if they quit on their own.
Laws should be changed to make it easier for victims of abuse by government agents and elected officials to obtain protection and retribution.
Thanks for the information. I read a hundred or so posts on that thread and found the usual back biting that has become commonplace on Fr. As for Howlin, It is unbelieveable that she would be banned, and I don’t think I would want to belong to any club that would have me anyway.
One anecdote about Howlin. The first day I posted on FR some wise guy criticised the way I posted. Oh, yes the posting police go a long way back. At any rate, Howlin came to my defense, and I thanked her. I didn’t know then if I was thanking a man or a woman, but found out immediately that she had strong opinions when she immediately fired back at me that she would get on my case if she thought I was wrong. I have liked and respected Howlin from that time, some seven years ago. She doesn’t hide her feelings, but has done more for FR than the average poster, and she is usually acurate and logical in her reasoning.
Too bad. A great loss for FR, but maybe FR has it coming. It makes us understand more how the Gulags served the purpose of the old Soviets. Out of site, out of mind.
Howlin. And I suspect it was in the recent purging of Rudyphiles, but don’t know.
This is the first I’d realized she was gone.
I really need to post all the names into the Wiki article on this case.
I understand how you feel. I can speculate that she left on her own. I heard she is admin of an antifreeper site but rumors are like tumors. Who knows.
