What ever happened to tar and feathers, or being ridden out of town on a rail, or two rails, one for Nifong, one for the star slut of this story.
Lets all hold our breath until the new black panther party apologizes for it's TV news love fest claiming da sistah waz ronged!
OK,, you can exhale now, just kidding.
And one for Cathy Davidson, Duke English Prof & VICE Provost. She was the head of the Gang of 88. In fact, all 88 should be driven out of town on a rail after being tarred and featered.

The newspapers and talk radio are doing a pretty good job of making sure that Nifong will never work in the legal profession again, assuming that he is found guilty of misconduct and disbarred. Someone who was ridden out of town on a rail (e.g. for selling phony medical remedies) could simply move on to the next town, but the papers and the Internet will make sure this follows Nifong wherever he goes. In this case (as opposed to the prosecutors of the Amirault and Snowden cases), justice may actually be done and the prosecutor's legal career ruined, assuming that he is found guilty as charged.
The false accuser's name should be made public--I assume the state's rape shield laws will cease to protect her once the defendants are acquitted, and perhaps she herself is charged with perjury, libel, and so on and so forth. Then she will never work again either, because even people who hire strippers won't hire one who goes around making false accusations of rape.
That's never going to happen in Durham, for the sad and simple fact that the majority of Durham citizens would rather having a lying Boss Hogg of a prosecutor in office than risk having a Republican on the job.
For the good citizens of Durham, it's not about Nifong's ethics; it's about which side he's on.
Oh, no, can't do that. It's "racist," don't you know.
I think Nifong IS the star slut of this story..
