DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, who pushed a faulty case against three Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of rape, took the stand Friday in his criminal contempt hearing.

That does not seem to be enough for what he did. I doubt he'll go to jail for contempt.
FYI
Nifong is a piece of whale excrement...you can’t get lower than he is...plus whale excrement is too good to compare him to.

It’s not but what he is going through might discourage a prosecutor from pandering to certain groups of people to advance political prospects.
At least there is redeeming qualities with whale excrement, none for Nifong.
He deserves justice, whatever it is, but good and hard.
Dependant upon the state laws, this could be a felony conviction if found guilty. That would have a lasting impact on his (quickly disappearing) law career.

Yeah, Nifong just tried to ruin several people’s lives by politicizing what he had to have know were false allegations. From the original article:
“I picked it up to look at it to see what it was, and when I read the affidavit, it struck me that this was a case that was going to get a lot of media attention in Durham, and that I needed to know what was going on with the case,” Nifong said.
Oh, I bet he did. Opportunist.
I read the article. Meehan doesn’t appear to be telling the exact same story he testified to previously. However, some articles are reporters concepts and not necessarily “word for word”. Trial transcripts are the way to go.
Even if he does it won’t be standard jail, no way he’ll be put in the general population.
My computer is super slow. Will this hearing be shown on TV?
Is that a Muslim flying pig per chance?

You get him for contempt and then you’ve got a conviction on his record. Then you go after him for prosecutorial abuse and civil rights violations, etc.
Baby steps.
...then the civil suits remove his personal wealth, little as it may be.
He’s got a lot of court time, jail time, and judgements to go against him yet to come.
...and he’s unpopular. The people who cheered him on when he had *power* are no longer supporting him.
This is wishful thinking, I fear.
Wow. This has been moved to chat.
It makes more room on the activist forum for the constant drizzle of posts from Lifesite, I suppose.
Very comfortable in my Duke LaCrosse T I bought from an off-campus store 6 weeks ago.
You should get one too. Feels good. Feels good.
I intend to steal that photo. that should be the weekly meal at Gitmo.
