He should also be made to re-embursh the legal fees of these students.

I agree. Actually, I think if the state brings a case against citizen and the citizen is found innocent, I think the state should be required to reimburse attorney's fees. It's a loser pays system like we needin civil law.

However, there is one point I have to disagree on, and it probably rubs most conservatives the wrong way, but the taxpayers of Durham should be made to pay those attorney's fees. Ultimately, the taxpayers are responsible for the actions of those they choose to represent them.

As for personal consequences, I'd like to see Nifong lose his election and get disbarred. By all rights he should be charged with Prosecutorial misconduct, but those charges almost never stick.

He should at least get disbarred. That way when I drive up I can tell him that I really don't want fries with that.

I don't disagree with that at all. He represents taxpayers and if taxpayers have to pay for legal bills so be it for bringing a bogus charge..

Nifong should be jailed.
