TV station WRAL is saying:
Defense attorneys for three Duke lacrosse players are expected to file a motion Friday asking a judge to enter criminal sanctions against disbarred Durham prosecutor Mike Nifong.
Nifong was disbarred June 16 by a State Bar disciplinary committee for his handling of the Duke lacrosse rape case. The committee unanimously agreed with the Bar on 27 of 32 charges, including the most serious allegations — that Nifong’s actions involved “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation.”
Three men — Reade Seligmann, David Evans and Collin Finnerty — were charged with rape, sexual assault and kidnapping in connection to an off-campus party in March 2006. All charges against the three were dropped in April 2007 after the state Attorney General Roy Cooper declared them innocent.
If the motion is granted, Nifong could face a possible fine and/or jail time.
A good idea, I think…I am firmly convinced that the man needs to see some jail time. .. though I suspect that there’s not much chance of actually happening. And frankly, I’d like to see some official action against the so called “gang of 88”.
(Addendum: Bit.. Michelle Malkin has some discussion on this topic.) [1]
It strikes me as alarmingly typical, that particular group of inDUHviduals along with Nifong, himself, are not being vilified in nearly the ways that those three young men were. They should be. They should pay the price for what they’ve done. why are these matters not being pursued by the state district attorney? Why is not Duke University’s complicity in these matters, not being pursued by the same?
And you know, one more individual we haven’t heard from, is the accuser, Crystal Gail Mangum [2]. Explain to me how it is that she’s not on the receiving end of some of the worst vitriol possible from the left, along with some serious legal action… as were those she and Nifong falsely accused?. Is it possible, just possible, that all these people , including the gang of 88, including the district attorney’s office, including the police, can’t bring themselves to believe that these three young men are innocent, and that the real criminal action was on the part of the now disgraced DA, and this woman?
Or is this just to reverse racism, …a mindset that insists the black woman can never be questioned because her actions can never be criminal? We already see a certain degree of that going on, in this case. The cursory examinations of the situation over the last several months have revealed that as David put it, it was ” ever increasingly difficult to find a single male in Durham with whom Crystal Gail Mangum [2] did not have sexual relations. “. Logic dictates that kind of activity, for that long, could not have passed unnoticed at the police department. Or, for that matter at the district attorney’s office. So why no investigation?
This case has uncovered a number of very uncomfortable truths, for the left. As such, it is tending to get ignored, now. Certainly, I can understand the motivations in the overwhelming lead Democratic party dominated district. As one commenter over at Michelle Malkin’s site [3] said yesterday:
Indeed, why?
But I have to tell you, my friends, that there is something greater, and deeper, going on here that is being covered up. Why is this woman not being charged in the matter? There’s something missing in all of this. A lot of questions need to be asked. And answered. A logical place to start would be… did Mike Nifong already know Mangum, before all this started? Was there some reason other than political avarice that Nifong would go to the mat for this woman, so to speak?
