Nifong a Topic at State Bar Council (and Feds Decline to Act for Now)
Eyewitness News 11 ^ | 1/16/07

Posted on 01/16/2007 10:03:31 AM PST by freespirited

This week Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong could be slapped with more charges related to his handling of the Duke Lacrosse case.

This week the State Bar Council will be holding its quarterly meetings in Raleigh. During this time, the agency could add ethics charges against the Durham district attorney.

Nifong recused himself from the Duke Lacrosse case shortly after the state bar filed an ethics complaint against him last month. He's accused of misconduct for statements he made to the media last spring.

In a letter obtained by Eyewitness News, defense attorney, Joe Cheshire requested to meet with Nifong in March about the statements.

"I do not understand why you will reportedly speak to the media in such certain, condemning terms before all the evidence is in, but you will not have the courtesy to meet or even speak with a representative of someone you have publicly condemned," Cheshire stated in the letter.

Nifong could also face additional charges for withholding DNA evidence that was favorable to the accused players. Evidence that is now in the hands of the state's Attorney General.

"We accept these cases with our eyes wide open to the evidence, but with blinders on for all other distractions," Roy Cooper said.

The State Bar Council meets today.

The council will decide this spring if his public comments about the case were a violation of the professional rules of conduct. Nifong's ethics meeting is scheduled for May.

No Federal Probe

The U.S. Attorney General's office has responded to Congressman Walter Jones' request for a federal probe of the Duke Lacrosse Case.

In a letter delivered Thursday, Alberto Gonzales' office wrote that it would be, "Premature to initiate a federal investigation pending a criminal trial."

This means the Attorney General will not be getting involved in the case at this time.

They do it just in case they find property of the person who turns out to be the suspect and that leads them to the suspect or in some way incriminates the suspect. That way, they're better assured they won't lose that piece of evidence (as in "thrown out of court"). It's SOP in many or most jurisdictions now. Search warrants are also advisable in cases where the victim didn't live alone.

She doesn't appear to be. I get the impression she's more like a disease-bearing tick that bites its way in and hangs on for the ride. She's a blatant, loud-mouthed racist and an obvious bully with no manners and nothing to offer the society in which she lives. They need to throw a net over that woman.

At least the H-S, unlike the N&O, didn't refer to Victoria Peterson as a Republican, SINCE SHE APPEARS TO BE A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT.

thursday’s poem
mythology of the wide-open-pussy
by: the furious flower aka ebony noelle golden

they say birds reincarnated her remains
clawed at sea’s edge
into a pistol packing water woman
got magma and prayer beads tucked
under her left breast
hoists music in sugar uterus crinkles

some say she came back as mama
harriet and that’s why she knew the swamps
and marshes so well she gathered
steal-aways in her tides and ripples
rushed them to safety

those birds costumed her regal plumage
some say spit ruby
dust in her lungs and she came back
as a mississippi delta blues empress
just a sanging

drink me plenty but don’t suck me dry
i say
drink me plenty but don’t suck me dry
i got lots of juice to give
but needs a little bit to quench the fire

she walked on water
part woman
part fish
all god
and she spit out the oceans
like a declaration
caught in mid air
congealed
then let go

some name her whore
cause she be sexin loud
and juicy in the day light
and her babies ain’t got no last names

the trees call her wide open pussy
jesus calls her indigenous womb
she walked seven days
spewing amniotic goodness seven
days birthing seven babies
seven days on seven continents seven days
and them babies be yo grandma

drink me plenty but don’t suck me dry
drink me plenty but don’t suck me dry
i got lots of juice to give
but needs a little bit to quench the fire

I think Kathleen Parker had the "order" of invective from the left, correctly.

White women, capitalist = GOOD. White males, capitalist = BAD. And then it falls to hate whichever of the sexes (and WHITE) will serve as a stiletto to perform the ugly purpose of the Marxists. For the mome. Then they revert back to the former chant.

Good thinking ... I think I'd lose my breakfast, perhaps that is the point; makes the fasting easier. ;)

Weren't we discussing the concept of the "too small bathroom" in say, oh I don't know, like, MARCH!!

Yes. I even pondered the "Polybolus" (spelling: ?) ballet troop (currently doing a car ad on tv) performing, in that wee bathroom, the "crimes" the accuser was vaunting. Not even using this superbly gifted, flexible dance troop, could those crimes have been committed.

This is at least the second or third sub-thread within the current thread to have dead-ended awaiting a reply from Ditto.

I love it when a well written reply shuts a troll up!

The older, more classic poets used sentence and grammer to embody and communicate the thought, source, and aim of the poem. Many of the more "au courrant" poets use the "vomitus eruptus" modus of communicating thought. It's free associative writing, and I find it rude, because it imposes that the reader MUST necessarily, first and foremost agree with the poet's premise before being admitted into the "special group" of comprehending the poem. It's akin to "speaking in code" for the "like minded".

The Gang of 88 "articles" are a more modulated, education-speak, form of the latter.

"So what can they do at this point? Move their assets to some exotic place offshore?"

Just watch. You'll see them begin gifting assets to close relatives. Nifong's house is already in his wife's name only. I guess he's just her biyatch.
