Nifong Accuses State Bar of Being Unfair
Former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong ended his legal career last week when he mailed in his law license along with a note decrying “the fundamental unfairness” of how he was treated by the N.C. State Bar.
The bitterness in Nifong’s letter, dated Aug. 7, is in stark contrast with his statements in June, when the bar’s Disciplinary Hearing Commission ordered him stripped him of his law license for intentionally and repeatedly lying and cheating during his prosecution of the Duke lacrosse case.
Is this guy for real? He railroaded three men for over a year, nearly destroying their lives for his political gain, and he has the nerve to cry foul against someone else? Forget about the State Bar. Nifong belongs behind a set of metal ones.
