I think you may have misheard that, sleuthie. All state bar associations have ethics rules and they come with punishments.
That is what I get for watching Greta!!! LOL
So...what is your take? What is the worst that could happen to him??
You are wrong Bahbah, Txsleuth heard right. The NC bar association can discipline him. That means there are no legal mechanisms other than other NC DA charging Nifong with his crimes.
So rather than a real proceeding with the full force of the people of NC behind it, we get a private organization, the Bar, acting. It is a good first step, but it show the problems in NC that the state does not have a mechanism for reigning in DAs.
