Trial Date Set for Nifong Ethics Complaint
Posted: Today at 7:26 p.m.
Durham — A trial date is now set for the ethics complaint filed against Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong.
The State Bar filed the complaint last month saying Nifong might have engaged in deceptive behavior in the way he has handled a sexual assault case involving members of Duke Unviersity's lacrosse team.
The bar takes issue with comments Nifong made early-on in the case.
Nifong's trial is set for May 11.
He hired an attorney from Winston-Salem to defend him.
A three-member panel will decide guilt or innocence, and then, depending on the outcome, impose a sentence. That could be anything from a warning to being disbarred
Cool! I'll be in Durham. Wanna go stand outfront and thumb our noses at Nifong, LB (and anybody else in the neighborhood)?
Huh? According to the Fongster himself, only the guilty people need lawyers to defend them. What a despicable POS. I hope he ends up in a prison cell. He has repeatedly abused public trust to a level I have rarely seen.
Yeah, I just heard that Nifong lawyered up. Now that he is represented his conflict of interest is even greater and more obvious.
I don't know if this has been posted because I have been out of pocket much of the day but Finnerty and Seligmann declined to return to Duke:
