Nifong has more charges against him
Fox News Alert | 1/24/07 | FoxRun

Posted on 01/24/2007 6:38:29 AM PST by FoxRun

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).

"He's devastated. It's very upsetting to be attacked … it's like he's public enemy number one," said David Freedman, Nifong's attorney. "Here's a man who's trying to do his job as an elected DA in Durham County. He's always held himself up as an ethical individual … it's a bit of a surprise."

Mikey just found out what goes around, comes around.

Hey, Nifong. This is what the DukeLAX players felt like! Suck it up like a big boy and take what's coming to you.

"He's always very polished," said Aus, who has known Nifong for 22 years. "He doesn't rely a lot on notes or stuff. He just gets out there, gets to his point and moves on."

That is something that can be said of just about any other snake oil salesman. Nifong is not unique in that regard.

"I have asked him if he had to do it all over again, would be bring the charges and he says yes, because he believes indeed this occurred. So he may regret some of the things he said," Freedman said

Nifong may need a new attorney. I believe the above is a violation of the NC Cannons of ethics. He does not need to be making such self-serving statements outside the hearing room. He does not need to try to defend himself at the expense of obviously innocent people who are still under indictments brought by his office. I hope someone here who lives in NC will write the NC Bar pointing out this addition ethics violation on the part of Nifong.

Not that I care in any way what happens to Mike Nifong, but he has found himself in a hole and he needs to stop diggin'. At this rate he'll be serving time in China.

The problem is that Nifong and now apparently his attorney think that guilt of the defendants or belief in the guilt of the defendant makes it ok to violate the NC ethic cannons?

It is not legal to hide exculpatory evidence UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

It is not legal to lie in court UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

It is not ethical to lie to the press about the defendants UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

It is not ethical to try to bring disapproval down on any group in society UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE unless that group is say the group of murders, ie a particular felony.

His attorney was smart to get him to recuse. His attorney is not very smart repeating another ethic violation. Nifong is of the case of NC. v. Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann. He SHOULD NOT be commenting on it. Whether the defendants are innocent AS EVERYONE KNOWS or guilty does not make what Nifong did right or wrong. Until Nifong and his attorney understand this very basic fact, they are going to struggle with this case.

You're preaching to the choir, JLS, but it needs to be said OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, until Americans get it.

The G88 are liars and propagandists as well, but they don't have prosecutorial powers and they're not officers of the court.

I would be VERY interested in reading the aggravating and mitigating factors re attorney discipline. Thanks.

:) I'm guessing Nifong can recite those mitigating factors by heart now, lol! :>

Shaking my head yet again at Nifong...Who cares what he "believes" Based on what for God's sake? IOW, it is based on his feelings and his beliefs, facts be shot to hell.

I read in one article (so many different ones that I can't recall which one) that Nifong wants the state...i.e. you and me and all the other NC taxpayers...to PAY HIS LEGAL FEES.

I am still outraged just thinking about his audacity and the tremendous legal expenses the boys' parents have had to pony up....plus $100,000 bail for each of the falsely accused.

And they are STILL incurring them since this CROOK has their innocent sons charged w/sexual assault and kidnapping of all things.

(Do you know or have you read about this Nifong effort to get legal assistance on the cheap...for him?)

You are right: they don't.

I suppose the next phase for Progandist teachers is to acquire Television stations and replace News Room anchors.
