DAs to Nifong: get out
ABC News:serial bitdefender 8.0 203
In yet another moral blow to Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys called for the prosecutor to step down from the Duke lacrosse case.
The group, which represents district attorneys from across North Carolina, said in a statement that “it is in the interest of justice and the effective administration of criminal justice that Mr. Nifong immediately withdraw and recuse himself from the prosecution.”
“It’s extraordinarily unusual and it means a great deal,” said Joshua Marquis, a district attorney in Clatsop County, Ore.
The district attorney group also called for the case to be reassigned and handed over to “another prosecutorial authority.”
We’ve heard now from the North Carolina Bar and Mike Nifong’s peers. We need next to hear from the U.S. Justice Dept. on when Nifong will be prosecuted for maliciously violating the civil rights of three innocent men.serial bitdefender 8.0 203
Relatedly, Dahlia Lithwick is appallingly obtuse. How do you write a column on the “10 most outrageous civil liberties violations of 2006” and not include the Duke lacrosse case?!serial bitdefender 8.0 203
