The N.C. Bar disciplinary committee has reached their decision.
A disciplinary committee said Saturday disgraced prosecutor Mike Nifong would be disbarred for his disastrous prosecution of three Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of rape—a punishment the veteran prosecutor admitted was appropriate.
[...]
The committee, after deliberating for a little more than an hour on Saturday, unanimously agreed with the bar on almost every charge—including the most serious allegations—that Nifong’s actions involved “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation.”
The veteran prosecutor, who had already pledged to resign his position in Durham County, would waive any right to appeal the punishment, said his attorney, David Freedman.
His well deserved woes don’t end with this. The players attorneys have indicated that they will seek contempt charges next week.
