Exactly!

[TChris]

Nifong should be in jail. Period.

[AZRepublican]

I bet he had a deal with the accuser to get elected. You know, cry rape by white boys, I'll step in as the big defender of black rights and prosecute such grievous hate crime...community black voters will have no choice but to vote for me in droves.

[nopardons]

bttt

[alrea]

subornation of evidence is a felony in most states

democrats are immune

[EDINVA]

"Why is Mike Nifong still a DA?" ... OR a member of the bar?

His decision not to disclose the full information to the defendants' lawyers is, or should be, grounds for being disbarred. A regular lawyer would probably be sanctioned, but a DA "acting under color and authority" of the government should be disbarred. Permanently.

.. and then it looks like he perjured himself in earlier testimony today. Guy's a real piece of work.

[buccaneer81]

The State should have jurisdiction over a local prosecutor. Why are you bypassing the state?

I believe it was done to the cops in the Rodney King case. Federal civil rights laws and such.

[alrea]

The terrifying aspect is, how many other corrupt leftist DAs, lawyers, and politicians are also doing this?

Clinton II will make Clinton I look like a picnic

[headsonpikes]

Nifong belongs in prison

I'm surprised it took to post #7 to see that posted!

Otoh, mabe it's a Captain Obvious moment - lol!

[Black Guy who is a Republican]

Case closed.

[No Truce With Kings]

"Nifong will be lucky if he only loses his job over this debacle."

Nifong is a Democrat. Yes, he has committed felonies, ruined innocent lives, and disgraced his profession. He will not lose his job, he will not go to jail, odds on he will not even be charged with a crime, and he will almost certainly be reelected.

The facts and the law do not matter because he is a Democrat. That makes him above the law.


Don't like it? Get over it. He's a Democrat.

[dogcaller]

'democrats are immune'...yeah; the media would put a Republican in jail for farting in public but the 'compassionate' party can do no wrong.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Any first-year law student would have told Nifong to drop the case after the first week. The "victim" a black hooker was obviously lying from the start. Anyone who had been the justice system longer than two weeks could have read better than Niforg.

But Nifong needed the black vote to win election. In North Carolina most voters are Democrats and most Democrats are black. Who has the black vote wins. (Another argument against universal suffrage.)

Of course, despite the investigation called for by the feds nothing will be done to Nifong. Remember, Democrats now control the Congress.

[khnyny]

IMHO, Nifong should have been charged with prosecutorial misconduct a long time ago. What a complete and utter mess.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Sorry, that's "hanged" in public, etc.

[R.W.Ratikal]

You are so right. Since Clinton no one can take any law seriously.

[stumpy]

Each of the accused players should instruct their attorneys to prepare civil suits against the D.A., and the city/county that he works in to the tune of $100,000,000 per each player and the same amount against the gov't entity as the D.A..... Make it a 200 million dollar pay day for each player. Bankrupt the county and make the state take over.

[nopardons]

Well done! LOL

[dagoofyfoot]

Me thinks it won't be long until Mike Nifong will be asking a nurse to swab his own rectum after an altercation in the exercise yard of the penitentiary.

[6SJ7]

After his license to practice law is revoked he could always go to work for Taco Bell, if they'd hire him.

Yes, as a food taster.
