It’s really so tragic-—Mike was kinda expectin’ sometime later to have a new wing of the Law School named after him....now, it looks like a longshot.....

Yeh, but it sucks having to get out the plunger. And you know, once you’ve used the plunger, you have to clean it.

You forgot to add, “So the charged kids take a plea to avoid a longer sentence. Then the DA will say, “They plead guilty to the crime. So they must be guilty.”

[neutronsgalore]

“A lengthy prison sentence would be a good start..”

I’d like to see the same happen to the prosecutor that went after the Border Patrol agents for shooting that drug smuggler.

[rwfromkansas]

Will he be criminally charged, or can he be even?

Breaking News >> Mike Nifong: I Should Be Disbarred for Handling of Duke Case

___

I think this miserable excuse for a human being is trying to choose his own punishment, as if being disbarred is some great tragedy for a lawyer, prison is for “real” criminals.

This despicable cretin violated the public trust and in the name of his insatiable lust for power and would have had NO TROUBLE putting those boys in prison for 20 years or more for crimes he knew they were not guilty of.

I honestly believe he needs to be in jail for 20 years before he’s eligible for parole, he’s a dangerous criminal, he was willing to railroad innocent young men into long prison terms. As for the argument that murderers aren’t serving 20 years, etc., THAT’S WRONG TOO!!

If I woke up tomorrow and found out that Mike Nifong hung himself or put a bullet in his pituful brain I would feel no sadness. If he doesn’t serve a long stretch in prison there’s something really wrong here.

“But nifong might be a floater”
Like the Clintons?

[ashtanga]

How about Jessie High Jackson and his inflammatory rhetoric? (Sorry, but I had to use a PC phrase.)

[ashtanga]

You said it right, you said it tight, and to you, my friend, I say thank you. It is our fault, at bottom, that these traitors, both gimmicrats and stealth gimmicrats, now lie in wait to destroy our country. I plan to raise a ruckus, but it appears that I’m just a “bigot” in Goober Lindsey’s parlance.

Looks like Nifong just got “owned.”

"The North Carolina State Bar charged Nifong with breaking several rules of professional conduct, including lying to both the court and bar investigators and withholding critical DNA test results from the players' defense attorneys."

I see that 27 violations out of a possibile 32 is still several...I hate the media.

"The players' attorneys have pledged to seek criminal contempt charges next week in Durham"

GOOD. I hope my cynical analysis of the decision yesterday wsa wrong and their attorneys GET a conviction.

"Got a little carried away"....for Pete's sake.

[cake_crumb]

"So what if everyone screams and flails around saying your candidate can’t win for whatever specious reason, unless we do something radical like running honest men for public office, we’ll keep getting people like Ted Kennedy and John McCain."

Why certainly: don't vote for the guy NOT fanning the flames of an all out race war because the OTHER guy IS fanning the flames of an all out race war because they're all scum. That makes Paul and Tancredo scum too, no matter what ideological position they take. Pot does strange things to the brain.

I can only hope he goes broke and ends up a waterboy for the Duke lacrosse team.

Maybe they should re-open nifong’s past prosecutions and set some folks free.

[ChetNavVet]

First criminal lawsuits must be addresed, and that includes the original accuser. They BOTH belong in jail!!!

[evad]

Maybe they should re-open nifong’s past prosecutions and set some folks free.

If they can show cause that the same misdeeds were committed, I'm sure they (defense lawyers) will.

[Morgan in Denver]

I guess it could be called the Ethics Wing for the law school. One, I agree this case should be examined in every law school. Two, it is typical how many defense attorneys are jumping on the anti-prosecutor band wagon. Even on FNC, it reminds me of sharks at a feeding frenzy.

The North Carolina State Bar charged Nifong with breaking several rules of professional conduct, including lying to both the court and bar investigators

This begs for criminal prosecution of the perp

[ripley]

scooter libby “has to” go to jail, but mr. nifong gets kicked off the bar and probably doesn’t see any more consequences for his having engaged in the obnoxious, dangerous, stalinist tactic of criminalizing ones’ skin color in full view of the constitution. (absolutely scary and amazing.)
