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.

A difficult ever changing story. Hard to know what is truth and what is manufactured by the DA or the press. I just figured the NC State bar sorted it out before filing.

He wants to get by the "swearing in". He would then be an elected official. Even if they sent him home while charges are pending, he'd still collect full pay and bennies and sit by the pool. The Bar won't hand down their decision for a looooooong time.

That's called a Bubba.

Bubba had his Arkansas license suspended for 5 years along with a provision that no civil suits would be brought against him for ANYTHING that occurred during his perverted reign.

If he does pull off the deal, then I really, really want to know whose DNA was all over that b****.

I'm glad to see this thread today.

My paper ran the Kathleen Parker column today where she plagiarized my post here two weeks ago when I coined "Nifonged" as a verb in the vein of Borked, etal.

How do I sue for copyright infringement?

Nifong will never voluntarily leave this case. His constituency is all for what is he doing. That's the only people he cares about.

"...The motion then walks the reader through the specifics of Dr. Meehan’s testimony, with six items of the rape kit showing evidence of the DNA from anywhere between one and four unidentified males. One of those males, ironically, appears to have been Meehan himself, showing how easily transference of DNA can occur—in a lab with many protections, or in a bathroom trashcan with none..."

Incredible!

In Nifongs' case, if he's removed, and then all charges are dropped, he probably gets a free pass from any lawsuits, while the city/county/state get sued up the wahzoo.

I'd love to read-up on Carolina law, but I burned-out on Florida law after the 2000 elections. Had to shower every 10 minutes for weeks....................FRegards
