Raleigh — The North Carolina State Bar has filed an ethics complaint against Duke lacrosse prosecutor Mike Nifong.

Very true.

[JLS]

He knew the DNA results were did not match any lacrosse player by the time the grand jury met. So he would have had to affirmatively lie to the grand jury to claim a match.

Also they gave him a dirty "look" and a Curly(howard) salute..

Think for a moment what would be happening if these were poor white boys on full scholarships with nowhere near the $1,000,000+ means this case has cost these families so far. Nothing. They'd be assigned a public defender and these boys would probably be on their way to prison with Nifong driving the stage and Mangum riding shotgun. Good gunslingers are expensive.

Gotta watch out for those rich daddies, huh? ;)

[Sue Perkick]

I'd be careful what I wished for on this one. LOL.

[Sue Perkick]

LOL!

[TommyDale]

Well, we know he lied to the press and to the public, so why wouldn't he lie to the Grand Jury? Of course he did.

[JLS]

He probably was not in the grand jury. I think had he needed to lie to them, he would have. He did not have to to makea prima facie case. But as you point out, one can never say never with Nifong.

[TommyDale]

I think he would have lied to his own mother if he thought it would help his election.

[JLS]

I think he would have lied to his own mother if he thought it would help his election.

I agree.

[TommyDale]

Actually, I think he would have jailed his own mother if it would help his case. Like all those potential defense witnesses.

[HighWheeler]

so THAT's what a $hithead looks like.

.....besmirched a University,..."

Nifong can't claim full credit for that....
The dumb ass President of Duke (Duck) and more than 80 members of the faculty did a fine job of that, all on their own.

Duke alumni and other benefactors should show their disgust, by closing their wallets in the future -- until the Duke faculty represents something more that a bunch of rabble rousing, racist, hate mongering leftist sonsuvbitches with no concept of the American JUDICIAL SYSTEM...

Leftist always revert to "mob rule" to get their agenda forwarded -- if mob rule doesn't work - then they play the race card to increase the size of the mob.

A POX on all their sorry asses.

Semper Fi

Thanks. Any special requests for the sequel?

[Sue Perkick]

As long as it ends poorly for the Fong I'm ecstatic.

[Guilty by Association]

Thanks, that was GREAT!

[Mad-Margaret]

You wrote that? Wow! Impressive. I thought you just copied it from another blog.

You nailed it. Thanks for the laugh and happy new year!

Or he could work with Nancy Grace.

I tried to post these earlier but they were full of tags and came out as a long sentence, LOL. This time I backspaced everything and then put what I hope is clean spaces back into it......the last paragraph of the complaint cites NC Bar Rules AND section 84-28 of NC Law; which cites section 84-23 as well. You will notice that 84-23 says "investigate and prosecute matters of professional misconduct". That makes this layman wonder if Nifong can actually be prosecuted, despite what the talking-heads have been saying on gretatube et al.

84-28 Discipline and disbarment.
(a)Any attorney admitted to practice law in this State is subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Council under such rules and procedures as the Council shall adopt as provided in G.S. 84-23 (snip)

Among other powers, the Council shall administer this Article; take actions that are necessary to ensure the competence of lawyers and State Bar certified paralegals; formulate and adopt rules of professional ethics and conduct; investigate and prosecute matters of professional misconduct; grant or deny petitions for reinstatement;(snip)
