Let us open this afternoon’s rant with this breaking item from FoxNews (AP):
Judge to Suspend Rogue Durham DA Mike Nifong Tuesday
DURHAM, N.C. — A judge said he would suspend District Attorney Mike Nifong on Tuesday after learning that the prosecutor disbarred for his handling of the Duke lacrosse rape case intended to stay in office for another month.
Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson also said Monday night he would proceed with a pending request to remove Nifong from office.
Earlier in the day, Duke University announced it had reached an undisclosed financial settlement with the three former lacrosse players falsely accused of rape last year.
The allegations were debunked in April by state prosecutors, who said the players were the innocent victims of a “tragic rush to accuse” by Nifong. …”
(Snip!)
“… A disciplinary committee of the North Carolina State Bar concluded Saturday that Nifong had lied to the court, made inflammatory statements about the three indicted players and their teammates, and withheld critical DNA evidence from defense attorneys. …”
And now let us take a little stroll down Memory Lane shall we (courtesy of YouTube)?:
A couple of thoughts come to mind…
First off, WHY hasn’t Mike Nifong been arrested for his crimes? At the VERY least, the man is guilty of obstruction of justice and lying under oath is he not? I’m sure prosecutors nationwide would cower at the thought of such a precedent being established, but TOUGH. This man should be immediately brought to justice; disbarment should be nothing more than a “baby step” in the right direction; definitely not the final punishment for a man who has abused his position of authority in such a disgraceful manner.
Last but not least, I believe the above YouTube audio clip should be more than enough to convince anybody and everybody the so-called “Reverends” Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are nothing more than racists and divisive, self-serving FOOLS who not only personally benefit from the “racial divide bidness”, they are FREQUENTLY WRONG in their positions. Without a racial divide, these so-called “Reverends” who have no churches do not have a way to pay their light bills. Neither of these men should EVER be taken seriously again as far as I am concerned.
“Disgraced” former prosector and “Disgraced” so-called “Reverends” would be an accurate characterization of the REAL “players” in this story…
