Why are they not prosecuting Crystal Mangum? In my state it’s a crime to lie to a dogcatcher. Shouldn’t she be punished for trying to send innocent men to prison for 30 years?

Okay, step 1 is done. I wonder how many millions of dollars this whole thing is going to cost North Carolina?

Don’t get too excited ... disbarrment in many, if not most, jurisdictions is like being banned for life from the NFL or NBA ... he can reapply in five years.

The moral of that story is know who you are voting for and don't elect scum.

If you're not paying state taxes, then you're not paying for the resulting litigation. My guess is that many of those who elected Mr. Nifong are paying little to no state taxes. Now, if they could divvy up his liabilities among those who voted for him, then we'd have something.

How about a Senate seat!

How about “Hello, my name is Mike Nifong and I am an idiot, may I take your order?”

The problem with that, Dr., is that a lot of the “people who you are voting for” are in fact, scum....and when you have a choice between scum and scum...you are going to get scum.....

the lesser of two evils...is still evil.

So, if people in NO voted for Ray Nagin, this applies?

Nifong took out a $106,000 mortgage on his house on 2/27/07.

Now that is poetic justice. I hope it galls him to no end that he mortgaged his house and gave the money away to another lawyer.

One wonders if the mortgage broker is in a jam.

Effective this afternoon, Nifong is disbarred.

Also, since he is not a Lawyer, he is no longer DA in Durham Co - no resignation required, he is out.

Thus, he has no income.

How is he to pay the mortgage?

Question: Is this debarment permanent? And does it apply to just the state or the whole United States?

My bf was railroaded over 5 years ago for a crime he didn't commit.

I to have intimate knowledge of such a case, a friend of mine, you could say. Was accused of wrong doing in a LAWYERS office, of all places, and basically, my friend was simply screwed. A messed up public defense, LOUSY PD, my friends life was screwed up for YEARS (pled guilty to avoid any chance of jail time for various reasons, it has now been adjudicated, so its off the records). It changed my view of the criminal justice system...

Nifong will not appeal the punishment, his lawyer said.

He also told the governor he wouldn’t run for election at the time he was appointed to fill the seat. I don;t put much stock in anything he says, his track record isn’t so good.

"It changed my view of the criminal justice system..."

Serving on a couple of juries changed mine. You see a side of other people you'd never guess existed. People incapable of logical thought, who make judgements exclusively based on their own prejudices and proud of the fact that they do. Very disheartening. I dread having to serve again, sometime.

It’s possible some of Nifong’s constituents are receiving more than they have given, but if the state is indeed stuck with paying a large settlement, even they may feel the bite.

State funds that are used to pay the possible settlement won’t be there to fund nanny programs, the likes of which those who pay less than their equitable amount of taxes tend to exploit.

Few Durham citizens are going to get out of this without some small sting for backing that race baiting S.O.B..

There remains a little problem....that is to interrogate and look at e-mails, files, etc. of all of the assistant district attorneys in that office. They knew this case. They knew what Nifong was doing. It looks like Durham has a nest of Nifongs. Clean ‘em all out...tooth and claw.

Now, about Patrick Fitzgerald?

Fitz-fong, Ronnie Earle-fong, and especially Johnnie Sutton-fong.

Hey, TSO, I hope things turn around for your bf. I fear the events mentioned in your post happen day-in, day-out all across the land. That is why Nifong’s CRIME is so despicable. The full weight of the court house should come down upon his head. We give prople like him incredible power and when that power is abused, the penalty should be severe
