Nifong = democrat lawyer = corrupt loathsome grandstanding deceitful toad
Nifong should be imprisoned and his assets confiscated to pay the lacrosse player’s legal bills. Just for a start.
It shouldn’t take the Bar Association more than 5 minutes to disbar Nifong. He deliberately withheld DNA evidence that would have cleared the la cross players. Even for a lawyer Nifong is a slime.
Meehan had knowledge that the boys were innocent. They should sue him and his company for $ millions.
This attitude pisses me off. Both the prosecutor and his experts work for the government, and the government's true interest in any criminal case is obtaining the truth.
The defense attorney is obliged to seek the best possible result for his client, but the prosecutor has an obligation to drop the case if it becomes clear that his target is innocent.
The prosecutor's experts are not paid from his personal funds, but rather by the government, and they need to act accordingly.
Both the prosecutor and "expert" engaged in criminal behavior here, and need to be held accountable.
The most amazing thing I heard in all of this was Finnarty. He had videotape, eyewitness, cell phone, and documentary evidence that he wasn’t at the house at the time of the “incident.” His lawyers tried to contact Nifong. He refused to sit down and hear the evidence and then indicted anyway. How you can keep pushing charges against someone who was seen by many and caught on video at a restaurant and ATM is beyond me.
Do you mean Seligman?
One would think he wouldn't need much money or pretty things where he belongs.
Regarding assets, two words, innocent spouse.
If I’m sued for doing something really really stupid that messes up somebody’s life, I shouldn’t be financially liable because my wife had nothing to do with it?
That’s a new one.
Actually it’s a very old one and since 1998 innocent spouse laws have been expanded to tax relief laws.
You are still financially liable but any assets you co-own with your spouse are deemed to be held in undivided interest and thus are insulated from attachment.
If you are one of thse sneaky spouses that keeps a seperate bank account hidden from your other half, that would be free game as would future earnings.
Colin Finnerty also had an air-tight massively documented alibi of innocence, just like Seligman. Finnerty’s lawyers chose a different strategy: waiting patiently, not revealing the full depth of Colin’s innocence, and letting Nifong and the lying Magnum hang themselves in their own endless lies and deceit.
” ...I shouldnt be financially liable because my wife had nothing to do with it?”
Most savvy businessmen/professionals are sure to have their valuable asets either in joint names or the wife’s name so it can’t be gotten to in a case like this. Of course in the case of a divorce ...
And ya ain’t even gonna get a kiss.
“You are still financially liable but any assets you co-own with your spouse are deemed to be held in undivided interest and thus are insulated from attachment.”
EyeGuy wants to know if this applies also to medical malpractice settlements.
Thanks.
Meehan’s days as an “expert” are over.
Judgements, yes.
Settlements can be tricky, you would have to have agreement from the spouse.
