Nifong Disbarred

As I predicted, now former attorney and former District Attorney of Durham in North Carolina, Mike Nifong, has had his law license taken away from him. As a prosecutor you can't merely assume a crime was committed, never interview the alleged victim, and never look closely at the evidence that everyone else clearly sees is exculpatory to the accused. Nor can you do the 19 unethical things Nifong did during this case.

Justice prevails by the skin of her teeth. What an extraordinary thing to bring a discipline action while the case was being prosecuted! Now let the civil trials against Durham, it's police department and perhaps against Nifong and/or his office, if there's a way to get past the government immunity he and it have.
