I thought there was some sort of law that you could not profit from a crime by writing a book.

[353FMG]

That law pertains to criminals; not to criminal lawyers.

"I thought there was some sort of law that you could not profit from a crime by writing a book."

A) That varies by state, and

B) Nifong hasn't been charged with a crime.

A crime is an offense that’s either statutory or prohibited under common law and recognized. Nifong’s conduct, as reprehensible as it was, is not a crime. He can be sued if he doesn’t have prosecutorial immunity, which I think he probably does but there is no crime in the facts I’ve seen and I’ve followed this closely from a professional interest. Whether one can profit from a ‘’crime’’ is not even in the picture here nor is it on the horizon.
