It would be breaking news if he pled guilty.

We should use the same standard of justice as he was offering to the Duke guys.

“It would be breaking news if he pled guilty.”

And it would be earth-shattering news if the “academic” Gang of 88 and the Duke administration suffer any retribution AT ALL.

Parental sheep will continue to sacrifice all to get their kids into “elite” schools like Duke.

Sorry, it just flashed across the Disturber web site. Mods if you want, move it to Front Page.
The dummies always want to see someone “frog marched”, I can’t think of anyone I’d rather see frog marched from a court room than this guy.

So he’s not in jail for his crimes? I knew that nothing would happen to him. I knew that the people in charge would give him a light punishment, then wait until we all forgot about it, after the media had filled our minds with Brittny Spears, Anna Nicole Slut, “katrina”, and other garbage.

Nifong pleads not guilty to contempt charge which in itself is contemptuous.

"Nifong answered haltingly: "His report encompasses ever -- because we didn't -- they apparently think that everybody I speak to about, I talk about the facts of the case. And that's just, that would be counterproductive. It did not happen here."

Isn't this how all lawyers answer a yes or no question?

I think this is just a strategy to get a better deal. Nifong pretty much hung himself with his comments and nefarious dealings to suppress evidences from the defendants...

I heard Nifong was picking up some extra cash as Miss Teen South Carolina’s speech coach.

I'm still of the thinking that the only good lawyers are those lying at the bottom of the ocean but then that's just me.

Which reminds me. Why don't sharks eat lawyers? Answer: Professional courtesy.

There is no punishment severe enough to repay this low-life jerk Nifong short of drawing and quartering his sorry arse.

Do we have dungeons in our prison system?

You heard that too, huh? What a rocket scientist. Truly a product of or worthless education system. I’ll bet she can name the last 5 winners on American Idol, and put a condom on a cucumber, but SHE can’t find the US on a map. I’ll bet she can tell us why President Bush is evil, but has no concept of what our Constitution promises, or protects.
