and the RATS, take another one in the...............HA ha!!!
The North Carolina bar filed an ethics complaint Thursday against the prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse case, accusing him of breaking four rules of professional conduct when speaking to the reporters about the sensational case. The punishment for ethics violations can range from admonishment to disbarment.
Among the rules District Attorney Mike Nifong was accused of violating was a prohibition against making comments "that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public comdemnation of the accuser."
In a statement, the bar said it opened a case against Nifong in March 30, a little more than two weeks after the party where a 28-year-old student at North Carolina Central University hired to perform as a stripper said she was raped.
Nifong did not immediately return a call for comment.
Nor did defense attorney Joseph Cheshire, who represents one of the three lacrosse players charged with sexual offense and kidnapping.
Last week, Nifong dropped the rape charges against the three athletes after the stripper wavered in her story.
That feller dancing in that ad shares my sentiment.
wrist slap alert!!!
With the sheer volume of the anti-Nifong hate mail that the state govt. has been getting, they had to do something. Hopefully his punishment will actually have some teeth, not just a censure or some crap like that. If I were king, this scum would be in federal PMITA prison.
I was wondering if they'd all gone off fishing for the last year.
EDWARDS/NIFONG 2008!
Oh, oh he mind get a firm "Don't do that again".
I'm sure he has the fortitude to take such an extreme disciplinary action to be bestowed upon an official though.
Disbar this disgrace.
Cigaret holder with cigaret in mouth. Pince nez in place. Feet together. Plance your hands on your hipps and swiver. A jump to the right.
Do the TIME WARP.
Why the big delay filing against what was obviously a case of prosecutiroal zealousness with attendent misconduct?
This is just a smoke screen...the Bar willjust slap (one of their own)on the wrist. The DA ought to be filing some type charges.
Yes....Yes....Yes....!!!!!
About dang time!
Howlin where you be?
There's just too much good news at once. State Bar to file a complaint against Nifong. Saddam Hussein to be hanged within 36 hours. WOW! Can it get better than this?
If I were a parent of a Duke Lacrosse player, I'd sue the damned school for suspending the program. School officials essentially tarred and feathered all those (white) boys without a shred of evidence.
"On April 19, as reporters were hounding Simeon for interviews, Roberts sent an e-mail message to a prominent New York publicist. "Although I am no celebrity and just an average citizen, I've found myself in the center of one of the biggest stories in the country," Roberts wrote. "I'm worried about letting this opportunity pass me by without making the best of it and was wondering if you had any advice as to how to spin this to my advantage. I am determined not to let any negative publicity about my life overtake me.......Thanks for your time, The 2nd Dancer."
And let us not forget Crystal Gale Magnum - who had no DNA from the Duke Lacross players in her vagina, but DNA from four other different men. She only changed her story 18 times.
She was thrown out of the US Navy after only a few months, but no one know why. I suspect drugs.
And in this corner, the most unethical DA (and a Democrat - surprised?) in US history:
District Attorney, 14th Prosecutorial District
Durham County Judicial Building
201 East Main Street
Durham, NC 27701
Telephone: (919) 564-7100
Fax: (919) 560-3220
Second to last paragraph at the end:
Plaintiff prays that:
(2) Defendant [Nifong] be taxed with the costs permitted by law in connection with this proceeding; and
(3) For such other and further relief as is appropriate.
It doesn't get better than this.
Also of interest is commentary by students and alumni of Duke University. Apparently large segments of students and alums are mad enough to take action against the president and the group of 88 super losers who signed the letter thanking black activists for marching and demonstrating against the LAX program and presumably for hanging the three players. This has the potential to eliminate the center of mass of liberalism from a major university.
HAHAHA! I'm old.
When I read the title, my brain thought it said, "Bar Flies."
Try figurin' THAT in!
