Just heard via Fox News Alert that additional charges have been levied against Nifong. Charges are that he failed to disclose and/or hid the DNA evidence (that exonerated the 3 players charged).
I STILL think Crystal should be forced to become a PUBLIC figure in every way....published name, picture, and public testimony.
OMG! Have you seen the latest from N&O?

Seems like Linwood Wilson is on the hotseat too! That whole DA office may be going down.
Sorry if this was already posted.
Welcome back! Hey this is good news!
Ping
I wish. He'll probably get the Jim Janklow kid glove treatment.
Then how can he explain this? "Twenty ears ago he was investigated on suspicion of making false statements on the witness stand and setting up an illegal telephone tap, according to his file at the state agency that licenses private investigators."

Thanks for the info.
278. Nifong's failure to provide the Duke Defendants with memorializations of Dr. Meehan's oral statements was in violation of the United States Constitution, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-903(a)(1), and the Court's June 22, 2006 order compelling discovery.
The guy, is a typical liberal, say anything that comes to mind, without a thought to the impact of their words...and that Clinton hair cut says it all....
Well, well, well, this certainly seems to tump te Murphy analysis that Nifong did nothing wrong in hiding that evidence.
[He needs to be disbarred, but the good-old-boy network would never do that.]
LOL. What's up with NC, anyway, is there something in the water?
Great timing! Welcome home. :-)
All your pings gave me motivation to zoom through the paperwork on my schedule today.... thanks!
It was his choice to grab the case from DPD. HIS decision.
He could have let the investigation run it's course.
HE said he would try this case personally.
xoxoxox rocks!
With the additional charges, I think Nifong is screwed. They have him dead to rights on the DNA evidence.
In past cases, police officers have screwed something up, and upon being sued or charged criminally, have tried to assert that they didn't know something relevant to the case. The courts are not sympathetic to that view and the words "You knew or should have known" is the best sympathy the police will get. The same type of reasoning is going to be applied to Nifong if he tries to say that his training was not adequate. The courts will tell him "You knew or should have known" about the legal constraints in your own state about making public prejudicial remarks pre-trial. The courts have a philosophy that the "Government" knows all, and Mike Nifong, whether or not he likes it, is part of the "Government."
Hopefully this Criminal will get 10 years.
One of the things I noticed while watching the hearing this morning was Freedman talking about what a busy schedule he has and why he hasn't done much work on Nifong's case.
Could it be he may jump ship and fire his client, or has Nifong told him he better be in for the long haul?
