District attorney in N.C. was disbarred

um....what do you mean by not a lot of facts? i thought it was pretty clear the stripper lied. DNA evidence showed SEVERAL other men had left their mark in the stripper but none of the people from the party were ever linked. the state attorney general declared them innocent...thats more than not guilty....it's innocent. even mike nifong the prosecutor admitted he broke the rules of ethical conduct.

the facts are that nifong called the duke players "hooligans" in the initial days of the trial. He made inflammatory remarks and created a bias in the minds of average americans. He is a perfect example of an out of control member of the judicial system. thank god we have checks and balances and thank god the system works. I'm glad there is a process in place to remove people like him from the justice system. I'm really sorry, but I feel strongly about this topic. he is a bad apple.

Exactly the point the CNN article makes. He withheld evidence - lied to the judge - and made such provocative statements about the 3 players. Put his own interests ahead of the right outcome. Thanks for the article.
