A good assessment of Nifong's agenda in the Duke case by Dr. Sowell.

Nifong should be locked up in a prison cell, NOT the Duke men he persecuted (that's right....persecuted NOT prosecuted). A shameful circus on the part of a politically partisan DA.

"...even some of District Attorney Michael Nifong's supporters have started backing away from him."

Backing? No, they're stampeding away from him, tripping over and trampling one another to get away from him. Sure sign that Nifong's in trouble.

[TChris]

If the bar wishes for there to be any credibility remaining in their profession at all, they will disbar Nifong. Now.

[CaptRon]

Now Nifong faced a tough election against a woman he had once fired and who would undoubtedly fire him if she became District Attorney.

It would be real interesting to here from her!

[pgkdan]

Sowell hit's the nail on the head. Exactly what a lot of us have been saying since the beginning. Nifong should be disbarred. I hope the kids and their parents sue him, the city, the University, the DNA lab and everyone else who jumped on the bandwagon to accuse and discredit these young men. I hope the accuser does time for filing false reports and I hope Nifong is charged criminally. This entire case has been a travesty of justice from start to finish.

[EndWelfareToday]

Nifong should be imprisoned for the full term without the possibility of parole for what each of the accused would get if they were to be convicted and the sentences should run consecutively. An animal like Nifong has no business ever seeing the light of day or a public sidewalk ever again.

Excellent commentary - LIEfong's actions only seem 'inexplicable' to people who are naive enough (or dishonest enough) to pretend that he was pursuing truth, justice and the American Way..... if in fact he was opportunistically lynching these innocent young men in order to further his own sordid career then his actions are perfectly explicable -- and disgusting and despicable.....

[RebelBanker]

Who can these three young men sue to get back not only their reputations, but also years of their lives? For that matter, what about the Duke lacrosse coach and all the other players?

Nifong deserves some SERIOUS jail time!

[WL-law]

Nifong's best defense against these charges, and the defense he'll undoubtedly use, is that everything he's done is in conformity with the current (feminist-based) theory and letter of rape law.

He can use as supporting evidence, that the Duke U president also followed the 'dictates' of such feminist law.

He would argue that, under such theory, he's effectively not allowed to use his personal discretion, the "prosecutorial discretion', to weed out false charges.

We have seen, for example, judges get hounded off the bench for using such discretion. Judges and prosecutors learn from such examples.

Wendy Murphy, the legal commentator / talking-head on various TV shows, is a perfect example of the feminist prosecutor thought process.
A. No corroboration is required to support a rape charge, merely an allegation.
B. Defendants are guilty until proven innocent.
C. Rape victims "never lie".
D. Rape victims should be able to win their cases without even having to face their accuser -- after all, that's tantamount to being 'raped again'.
E. The more sordid the rape victim's past and then-current behavior/profession is, the more important it is to make sure that the jury never hears anything about it.

Nifong merely has to say -- "those were the rules I followed".

[Montfort]

It's a good thing that Nifong is the only prosecutor who has ever done anything like this.

[Uncle Hal]

In Nilfong's district, does anybody know the percentage of black people registered to vote compared to whites?

[SuziQ]

Now Nifong faced a tough election against a woman he had once fired and who would undoubtedly fire him if she became District Attorney.

In light of Mr. Nifong's perfidy, I believe the voters have every right to ask for a recall, and have a chance to vote for or against him with ALL of the information at hand.
