If Nifong is disbarred, he could not serve as district attorney. In fact, he could not practice law in any capacity anywhere in North Carolina.

Possible relief from Ruth Sheehan columns?
You heard it here first (at least in The N&O.) My husband is pursuing a position in Wilmington, NC, his hometown. Read about it here .
Go Harry?

"I think Nifong is a victim of that 'Monkeys Paw' thing. He wished to be DA and got it, sort of."
I haven't thought about that story in a very long time. Thanks for the pleasant reminder, RobRoy!
This is going to come back to haunt Nifong with more weight than we're seeing right now.
That's what I assumed but didn't know with 100% surety.
But Nifong can blame that on the grand jury, and the grand jury can blame it on the cops who testified.
The investigation needs to start with the cops. How did Nifong shape their testimony before the grand jury?
There's been some disappointing information released about them. I'm not optimistic.
Sure. And Cooper could have appointed somebody not from his office. The fact that he is using his own attorneys and also has aspirations of becoming governor does not bode well. The fact that Nifong chatted up Coman about this case before sending over his request also does not bode well.
I doubt Jesse's going to give her any money. The most he might do is pay some of her tuition directly to the school only because he said he was going to. He won't want to renege because it would be as good as saying she was lying, and we know blacks never lie, right?
I agree!

No.
Lotsa luck getting Gonzales to do anything except avert his eyes to all rat corruptions, such as this one. I think he's so afraid of being called "partisan" that his feet are forever mired in clay.
A racial slur is subject to interpretation and is not in violation of a law.
The crime should be left wing enforcement of PC speech.
I would think so, wouldn't you?
Just last week, a judge here who was disbarred was forced to resign because he couldn't do what he was elected to do.

Wow I guess they are quite a team. I have been an academic for 25+ years at a number of institutions. I have NEVER seen an attempt to strong arm oneself into a job like this one.
It is shameless. First the guy applies for a job before the position is announced. BTW, if he does not reapply once it is announced he probably can not be legally hired. Then he or his wife leaks his application to the local paper again before there is a job advertised and a search committe. Then his wife writes about his application for this not yet existing openning on her employer's website.
He would never get a job this way at a four year institution. JUCOs are more political so maybe this will work. Certainly "I want to come home" is not a qualificaton for this job. [BTW, the bad news for us is that a columnist could easily work from a remote site.]
And finally, I guess Sheehan remains too stupid to see that she along with her husband are jumping the gun again JUST LIKE SHE DID ON THE DUKE LACROSSE ALLEGATIONS!!!!! Talk about a slow learner.
I agree. Mangum is a messy human being living in the moment, like all of her ilk. But for Nifong's ambitions combined with his gross and wanton lack of professional ethics, the case would never have gone beyond March 14, 2006. Mangum was playing fast and loose with people's lives because she's too weak and afflicted to do anything else. She's a despicable, weak-minded person with no ethics of her own, to be sure, and should be punished harshly, but she's not the one we have the higher ethical expectation of. Nifong was playing fast and loose with the constitution, professional ethics, and the lives of three promising young men and their families. He was given the power and egged on to do exactly that by the black voters of Durham for racial retaliation, and I find them as guilty as I do Nifong. What the black voters of Durham did to these boys was no different from the lynchings of yesteryear, and they know it.
Yeah but they can't figure out how to get him off the payroll until his term expires in 2008. Is that Nifong's future?
