I don’t think they could be held culpable. They were largely going on what a rogue lying district attorney was saying.

I would hope that each of them (as well as Duke University) will be subjected to any and all manner of lawsuits for years to come! Any alumnus of that school who is forking over donations should be proud to fund the legal defense since they are obviously delusional anyway!

Let’s not forget about the LaCrosse coach that lost his job. I hope he sues Duke BIGTIME!

Prosecutors are supposed to be the good guys, it’s the defense attorneys that are supposed to be the slimy ones.

This guy got what he deserved.

Nifong Accepts Disbarment....

A true businessman.

He took the hit, cut his losses and hopes they don't dig anymore to incriminate him.

I’d say it’s extremely likely.

Duke already settled with their former lacrosse coach. Didn’t go to court. Duke didn’t want it to, I expect, and opened their checkbook.

Naaah, at least this guy has prosecuted someone. From what I can tell, that hasn’t happened with W’s JD.

Yup, because he deserved going to jail. He got off lightly. Much more lightly than the innocent men who he tried to put in jail in order to promote his failed career.

This will be the end of it. It’s not the end of it for the families of the innocent men who now have to pay their legal bills.

If this nifong creep were a decent man, he would give the innocent men all his assets and write a book describing how he tried to put them in jail, but give the proceeds to the innocent men.

None of that will happen. The media will drop it. All over. Until the next innocent white man is lynched.

"That's reasonable. You put your vote behind a man, you should be held responsible for the trouble he causes."

Works for the pro-Amnesty politicians too.

Everyone should know this fact: almost half of all sex crimes reported to police eventually turn out to be fabrications by the accusers own admission. This does not include the percentage that never own up to it.

Paris Hilton will do more time than Crystal Mangum. Hell, she'll probably do more time than that sh*theel Nifong.

What you say is the truth. I was raised to respect my elected officials, LE, and the judicial system. I now spit in their general direction, with the exception of honest cops, and a small number(very small)of elected officials like Hunter and Tancredo.

Last year, a man named Rod Bernsen was charged with inappropriate contact with minors, while on a cruise ship. His brother is actor Corbin Bernsen, and his mother(name escapes me)has played Catherine Chancellor on "The Young and the Restless for many years. Rod Bernsen was in LE for 17 years, and did the traffic report for the local Fox affiliate before he and his family moved to Colorado.

This past week, Mr. Bernsen was aquitted by a jury of all charges, praise God. He gave an interview on Good Day LA and detailed how this impacted his life. First of all, the boys thought he had complained to the cruise ship about their behavior, but it turned out to be another man who turned them in. They decided to get even by making a false accusation. Mr. Bernsen stated that he will no longer be alone with anyone's child, even for a second. He also stated that he now has doubts about the people he was responsible for arresting during his law enforcement career. This man is a changed man.

My bf was railroaded over 5 years ago for a crime he didn't commit. His ex wanted the house when she found out he had started divorce proceedings, while she was in rehab for her meth addiction. His sister paid for it. The place was not cheap, either. To get the house, she needed custody of the kids. What trumps being a meth head? Yep. When they couldn't force the girls to lie, and there was no physical evidence that they had been abused, his ex got another girl to lie. I don't want to say much more, because he is hell bent on getting this appealed. All we need is to find a sack of money laying by the side of the road :( He and his family went through 20k, and when his lawyer knew he didn't have any more money, told him to accept a plea bargain.

To add insult to injury, he's on that site. Yeah, that one. Don't believe the description of the crime some of these folks have tacked to their photo either. They come up with the most vile, revolting language. We watched some of the proceedings this morning regarding Nifong. I'd like to see every DA who has ever crapped on his/her oath of office to get the same treatment.

Sorry this is so long, but this case has affected us personally, like Michael Jackson being aquitted.

I'm trying to figure out, on at least a local level, which DA's engage in this mockery of the justice system. Then vote them out of office. I'd have to start early, and go over every case they've ever been involved with. Yuck.

If this is true, then Nifong is even a bigger fool than I first thought. If he is willing to accept disbarment before the fact, then he should have been willing to forfeit his law license to avoid this entire proceeding. Now he is on record saying all these incriminating things that will only serve to jack up the amount of punitive damages in the upcoming civil trial.

I didn't know this. I hope he made Duke hurt.

Thanks Albion, occasionally I do shake the cobwebs out and appear moderately less silly. =-)

Good riddance ! Any prosecution in the past that had any of his involvement should be reviewed and dealt with accordingly. His disbarment should be for life ! Part of it should include a ban on him teaching any college course, not only law but anything else.

“Now, is to lose every personal asset he has to repay the players.”

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

I don’t think he has much left.

His retirement should be taken away. He didn’t complete his term. His retirement should be applied towards the legal fees of the Duke players.

Jail him! And the lying woman too.

They need to vastly increase the penalty for false prosecutions.
