I'm happy that they will be able to get back to their lives of partying, under-aged drinking, and hiring strippers. Not that there is anything wrong with that, since they are innocent of this charge.
I agree, but this has not been mention. Because of his retirement, he was desperate to get elected.
Luckily Nifong went against some white kids from the right side of the tracks. He simply used the same tactics often used on minority kids of the same age, which normally works because their families lack the resources to fight the charges.
It’s a great way to eliminate a person’s constitutional rights, too. Can’t own fire arms (2nd amendment), can’t vote, can’t peacefully assemble in case there is another felon in the crowd.
I’m happy for your friend, but I’ll bet he’ll bear the scars until his dying day :(
One can only hope. The hateful liberals of Duke put these **innocent** men through HELL and back over false charges. One can only hope that the liberals get the same treatment some day. Maybe that will get them to change their ignorant, bigoted, hateful, ways.

I hope things turn around for him, too. As it stands, his girls are ruined. The 15 yr old has multiple piercings and a couple of tatts. The boy is still okay, but asked us last year if we watched porn or did drugs. We hadn’t even hit the fwy yet. For the record, we do neither.
He’s still politically conservative, though. It really galls him that he can’t vote, especially since this upcoming presidental election is the most crucial one of our lives.
Nifong and his ilk are truly despicable. Even though the young men were exonerated, their lives are stained by this creep. Disbarrment isn’t enough. I want him to serve jail time.
He made their lives Hell on Earth and destroyed them. They will never totally recover. He should pay for the rest of his life too.
The parties are over for those guys. I don’t think you grasp what being accused of something like that will do to a person.
I posted an account of a former LE who was wrongly accused, and my bf’s account. There are literally thousands of broken lives littering this once great country. Trust me, the party is over.
It has to be a horrible experience to have something that you did in the passion and exuberance of your youth...something that you have tried to erase from your mind for years, suddenly brought to light for all to see.
The people who have no shame, those that would think nothing of the public ridicule...would also think nothing of using their position for personal gain.....power and financial...grand and petty theft like stealing furniture from the White House, for instance.
I think that there are a lot of people who would make a great and honest public servant who will not risk having their past dragged thru the shiite.

How is he to pay the mortgage?

Work the street, just like Crystal.

I always used to think those kind of folks where just trying to play the system. After this and the case of the black kid in Rome, GA who got railroaded, I don’t have any respect for our obsolete system of “justice.”
Any reason why he shouldn't be?
Not saying, of course, that Nagan would not have won anyway...no matter who ran against him.....the people have to have a desire not to be governed by scum....and have the intelligence and descernment to know when someone is scummy and when one is not.
I imagine Nifong is probably in shock right now - I doubt he has come to grips with exactly how much his life changed, this afternoon.
Not that I really care.
One crooked prosecutor down.
Johnny Sutton, you’re up.

It's really too bad that the taxpaying citizens who didn't support this lynching of the students are going to have to pay for it with even higher taxes. The welfare recipient citizens of Durham, who pushed this won't suffer at all. They'll just elect another democrat.
The disbarment applies only in the state of NC. If he would move to another state it is conceivable that he could receive a bar license in that state.....not probable but conceivable.
Other doctors and lawyers have done such things before but in other instances where there was not so much publicity.
