In what could be the preliminary to a disbarment, the North Carolina Bar has filed ethics charges against District Attorney Mike Nifong.
As a D.A., Nifong is untouchable, but the North Carolina legal community seems to have found a way to side track any political aspirations he might have had, even if public disgust with the Duke case wasn't already enough already.
Ankle-biting pundit is enraged by how Nifong's conduct besmirches prosecutors everywhere.
What burns me is that Nifong is giving prosecutors everywhere a horrible reputation. Every prosecutor I ever worked with, and those that I have dealt with since going into private practice have been straight as an arrow in ensuring that there was a fair trial. I may not have liked some of them for their unwillingness to compromise, but it was never done out of malice to the process or my client, but rather because of what they felt was right given the circumstances.
I like this line from Ace of Spades HQ:
It's a liberal tenet that most black people are good, wise, and honest, and most white people (save those who are members of the Church of Latter Day Liberals) are lying, cheating, oppressive and greedy bigots, the sort of people who would rape a black stripper just because they could.
