Nifong in trouble for "Nifong"ing Duke lacrosse case.
Unless you have been hiding with Osama Bin Laden (remember him?), you should have heard of the Duke Lacrosse case by now. I was one of the early skeptics about the case and in fact urged the DA to drop the rape cases for lack of credible evidence. We now learn that the DA, Mike Nifong, may have withheld evidence of the innocence of the accused -- a grave constitutional (and moral) error -- that has had the Attorney General take over the case and charges filed against Nifong by the State Bar for "systematic abuse of prosecutorial discretion ... prejudicial to the administration of justice". Read it here. I guess that is what happens when over zealous and career minded politicians, who moonlight as prosectors serving the "public interest", are eager to "Nifong" their case(s).
