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 remember it. Michael Peterson had a fondness for accident prone women. I agree, Freda was on her way to winning the election until this LAX case fell into Fong's lap.
RE: DUKE D.A.
Tune: "Duke of Earl"
Please be so kind as to insert some sort of language at the beginning of your posts to the effect that the lyrics are unchanged, unless of course, you add something new.
Thank you.
Criminal offenses. This creep who used the full coercive and armed power of the government against 3 innocent men should go to jail.
The government can put people in jail. The government can send the police to arrest people. The police can kill those who resist. This power has to to be used with responsibility.
Nifong used this power criminally for his own personal gain against 3 people who he knew were innocent.
Nifong must go to jail.
Could someone please briefly summarize all of this, and what it means (sorry, but I haven't had the time to read through the entire post).
It means Nifong looks to be quite familiar with the Cheek/Mangum family. For approximately six years he prosecuted "the county's most serious felonies," the murder of Precious' uncle.
Did he take a personal interest in that case? How familiar did he become with the family? He seems to be almost an advocate for the AV, motived by the previous sufferings of the family?
Yeppers, I can't wait to see the facial tic, the veins popping out all over his forehead, the grim, deathly ill countenance, and so forth.
"...Nifong looks to be quite familiar with the Cheek/Mangum family..."
Mikey's poor wittle heart bweeds for Cwystal!
Thanks, maggief!
I certainly hope that in coming weeks, Freedman continues digging Nifong's grave in like manner. While "I'd do it all over again" might have worked in the Gell case, it will not work in this one, because as Jezebelle has pointed out, Nifong basically has only his lack of a prior negative disciplinary history to fall back on, and will eventually be forced to grovel for mercy. If anyone is interested, I can list all the various specific aggravating and mitigating factors prescribed by North Carolina law in attorney discipline cases. They are very grim evening reading for Nifong and Freedman.
Right, and who was the prosecutor who pled down Precious' 2002 felony charges?
?Just asking?
I believe it was now-Judge Stevens, wasn't it? Keep me from having to look it up, Maggie...
I am not sure who the judge was, abb. (No need to look it up.)
I don't think the prosecutor who pled the 2002 felony charges down has been reported. Could it have been Nifong, or his division?
I think Bubba tried this same thing.
In regard to being disbarred. Big deal. He's never been in private practice and there's always a job waiting for a sneaky, lying Dem. Bubba is the perfect example.
This guy is looking for the same deal that Bubba got...no Civil Suits about anything that occurred during his public servanting once he leaves. I have a feeling that the boys' attorneys will fight Nifong to the death!! This is really a case of good vs evil.
P.S. If it wasn't for this case, Nifong would have lost the election....so even that can be construed as fraudulent.

DURHAM -- A 23-year-old woman was arrested Friday on charges she was driving a stolen taxi and tried to run over a deputy who was pursuing her on DWI, speeding and other offenses.
Crystal Gail Mangum of 211 Charles St. faces 10 charges, including driving while impaired, driving with a revoked license, eluding police, reckless driving, failure to heed a siren and lights, assault on an officer and larceny of a motor vehicle, warrants say.
At 12:42 p.m. Friday, deputy J.P. Carroll spotted the stolen cab at Angier Avenue and Page Road and turned on his lights and siren. The driver fled, arrest warrants say. The chase led onto U.S. 70, where speeds reached 70 mph. After the car traveled into a wooded area, warrants say, Carroll approached, but the taxi driver drove toward him. He jumped away, bumping his vehicle.
Further information wasn't available, but warrants say both cars sustained damage. Mangum, jailed on $ 75,000 bail, is to appear today in District Court.

Anytime someone goes after a cop with a vehicle, everyone in the department becomes VERY AWARE of that person and her name surely made a lightbulb come on. The cops knew EXACTLY who they were dealing with from the beginning...Precious and her chillins.......again!!
I would add, as a sometime lyricist on FR, that one posting of any given item is enough.
Now we all have to suffer more of Mr. Forehead, and his "Stage Dad".
