RALEIGH, N.C. — Ethics charges filed against the prosecutor at the center of the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case might constitute a conflict of interest that forces him off the sensational case in which a black woman claimed she was reaped by three white college students, legal experts said.
"It's hard for me to imagine how he can be effective as an advocate, with either the court or a future jury, when he has ethics charges pending against him ... concerning his conduct of this very same case," said Joseph Kennedy, a University of North Carolina law professor.

Nifong needs to be booted off this case and out of the legal community permanently.

I am still waiting for the 100 million dollar lawsuit against the county and Nifong. If he not only ignored but concealed exculpatory evidence, he should be sued. I would think that a lawsuit would be enough to boot him from the criminal case as well.

"Experts" say he should be turned over to the boys families for dispatching.

Wouldn't it be nice if nifong could be criminally prosecuted for his games.

Yes he has to go,disbarred and charged if possible.
a side note: earlier there was an article posted written by the AP about how the AP has such high journalistic standards:
woman claimed she was reaped by three white college students
sure.

The feminazi professors at Duke need to be publicly reprimanded as well.

Agreed. They turned on the players the instant it hit the news.

This is baloney! Nifong will hold onto the case as long as possible. His best hope is to get an OJ jury and convict the rich white boys to save himself.
To: Jaded
he'll probably be made a tenured prof there for this.

Isn't conspiring to hide evidence from the defendants' attorneys a criminal act? Where's the prosecutor who will go after Nifong for what seems to be an obvious breech of the law?
To: Anti-Bubba182
I agree, much as I hate to say it.

Good luck with that. Would a public apology work? It would make an interesting thread.
This just didn't smell right from the very beginning. Duke didn't even wait before kicking them out. What happened to innocent 'til proven guilty?

One of my 2007 predictions.
Nifong will surrender his law license in an agreement to avoid criminal prosecution.

Nifong is a race pimp!Just like Sharpton & Jackson...
Difference is, Nifong was trying to ride the black vote in Durham
(A city with some very rough sections,
very ghetto-ish, if you catch my drift)
in order to return to an office he never won, but was appointed to...
On the backs of some doofus college kids...
Give it a year or two, and you can look in the dictionary under
'corruption' and see his picture...
