Nifong now faces possible criminal charges
And the players haven't even brought suit yet.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,285998,00.html
Beleaguered and disbarred former District Attorney Mike Nifong, who prosecuted the Duke University lacrosse rape case, could wind up in jail if a motion is granted asking that criminal charges be filed against him.
The three Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of rape by an exotic dancer filed the motion Friday against the ex-Durham County district attorney who built the case against them.
The 42-page motion asked the judge to hold Nifong in criminal contempt of court — particularly in his withholding of pertinent DNA evidence that would have cleared the college students — and to impose sanctions against him. If granted, the prosecutor could land in prison.
There was no word on when the Superior Court judge would hand down a decision.
After accuser Crystal Mangum alleged that Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans had raped her at a party and physical evidence was collected from her in March 2006, Nifong "began a pattern of official misconduct regarding DNA evidence in this case that violated nearly every rule and law ... designed to protect due process and the pursuit of truth in criminal investigations and prosecutions," the motions states.
Well we shall see, but I know will have to face the scrutiny of a civil suit before too long.
There is more information at the site. It makes a disgusting read. I really do not have a whole lot of compassion for him. Even a layman like me can see what he did that was over the top.
And our legal system exists on the premise that the representatives of the system are not immune to following the law, or answering to it when they violate the law.
