Ex-Duke D.A. charged with ethics violations
Nifong accused of withholding DNA evidence, lying to court, in rape case

Why does he get special treatment just because he is a lawyer? The bar for criminality should be higher for these sleaze bags, not lower.

They just want to take his license away from him for his criminal behavior. That is a slap on the wrist for gross malfeasance.

What he did isn't so unusual among prosecutors. He just happened to get caught, and in a high-profile case, so the media is all over him.

That said, I don't see why you suggest jail time. It's an ethics violation, not really a criminal violation.

Another good question is why are you repeating a thread?
