FNC just reported on this
Ping
Question:
Is this a member of the Bar, or the entity itself acting in an offcial capacity?
Is it significant that this was filed before trial? Poor Ted must be having a fit.

Whoa! Thanks for the ping to this excellent news.
Raleigh — The North Carolina State Bar has filed an ethics complaint against Duke lacrosse prosecutor Mike Nifong, The Associated Press reports.
The complaint accuses him of breaking four rules of professional conduct when speaking to the reporters about the high-profile case.
Among the rules the bar complaint says Nifong violation is a prohibition on making, "comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accuser."
According to another report on this which the Moderator just removed as a duplicate, the complaint is that he broke four ethical rules while talking to reporters.
Odd that the wouldn't take him up on lying to the judge and conspiring to keep exculpatory evidence from the defence.
It's about time!!
Nice, maybe justice will be done.
If there was ever a case for immediate disbarrment, removal from office, and prosecution for abuse of office, this is it.
So he ruined the lives of 3 men and their families, tried to imprison them for life against the evidence, besmirched a University, a lacross team , incited class warfare, publically called them rapists, broke a few laws to win an election. Dont see what all the fuss is about.
Man, this is like being ratted out by the head of the mafia; talk about never working in this town again, this a definite career buster if it pans out.
Yay! Thanks for the good news.
This guy should swing before Sadaam does.
This Nifong should be disbarred for destroying the lives of these Duke Lacross players.He knew he had NO evidence to prosecute the case but he had to drag their names through the sewer to win reelection.
If you go to the link for WRAL, the story says the complaint is related to improper public statements including those which may reflect unfavorably on the accuser. This just gets stranger and stranger.
