Exactly, Nifong deserves far more than to be replaced on one case.

The parents, the falsely accused, and the attorneys for the accused should hold a press conference announcing a formal complaint to the NC Bar Association. Use the power of the press and public opinion to force the "self regulating" profession to police itself.

It is time for legislation setting up citizens committes to review attorney misconduct cases. The courts and the bar association are like Congress -- the fox watching the henhouse. Very few attorneys are ever disbarred. Most citizen complaints to the bar association go to the circular file. In this case the publicity that could be generated might actually force the bar to act.

In reality I doubt the attorneys for the accused would participate in such a public relations maneuver. After all, they have to face their "peers" everyday in the courtroom.
