Nifong ethics trial on Court TV

[ondeadline]

It's fun just to watch Mike Nifong squirm on live TV.

Seligmann is testifying now on Court TV.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

This is why I love CourtTV and almost forgive it for launching Nancy Grace onto TV.

 

[ondeadline]

Nifong is on the stand now, although his lawyer is questioning him now, so I wouldn't expect fireworks yet.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A tearful Mike Nifong said Friday he will resign as district attorney after admitting that he made improper statements about three Duke University lacrosse players who were once charged with raping a stripper.

"My community has suffered enough," Nifong said from the witness stand at his ethics trial on allegations that he violated rules of professional conduct in his handling of the case.

His community? How about the three lacrosse players, asshole?

They can crusade for the rest of their lives on behalf of the wrongly accused, the wrongly convicted, and innocent people ground up by reckless prosecutors and cowboy cops responding to heedless public demands for law and order.
Or they can all go work on Wall Street.
Wonder who'll do what?

Nifong is on the stand now, although his lawyer is questioning him now, so I wouldn't expect fireworks yet.

There are several great attorneys (not Nifong) involved in this case. Joe Cheshire and Wade Smith are studs from way back. David Freedman, Nifong's attorney, is not a new kid on the block, but in the past few years been one of the up and coming defense attorneys in the state.

I am not defending Nifong, but I think one of the best decisions he made was to get Freedman. There are others, but he is a good choice in any situation. Class act all the way.

Or maybe they'll join the Republicans and win public office. You know, just to **** you off even more.

Also a more likely option than the first one.

After watching the panel ring up guilty charge after charge this morning, my next step would be to sue Nifong for wrongful prosecution, and find nice little things to go after the president of Duke, Jesse and Al for as well...

You had to put gas on the fire, didn't you?  Fen brings the kerosene, so look the hell out!

We would like to thank Mike Nifong for participating in today's proceedings.  Please turn in your law license on your way out the door. 

Thank you. 

(It was laughable to see **** Brodhead's response to Nifong yesterday on ESPN, admonishing him for embarassing the legal system and Duke University.  The sumbitch and his faculty has yet to formally apologize to the three students. It would be wise to do it one of these days, if they get around to doing it, those sanctimonious pompous Ivory Tower ****ers)

If the players-and their families decide to sue everyone they should sue (and I pray they do), it'll be the first time Duke runs the table and goes undefeated in quite some time.

I hope they bring all those mother****ers to their knees.

True, that. Brodhead himself did a fine job of embarrassing Duke, with only minimal assistance from Nifong...

When this whole thing came out, Feinstein was guest-hosting on Jim Rome's show going off on Broadhurst and his predecessor and saying how they were a bunch of morons.

At the time, I was totally thinking the comments were toolish. Now, I've been swung over to his side on this one.

 

[jimnorden]

Nifong should burn in hell.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Eat **** and die, Nifong.

Better yet, next time I'm in North Carolina, I want to hear you utter these words:

"Welcome to Evans and Seligmann's House of Draft Beer, Wild Lacrosse Parties and Loose Women. I'll be your litigating host, well, not really. But if somebody cries fire! in a theater, or wrongly accuses somebody on account of the fact that they're filthy rich and go to an exclusive, snobby, academically challenging school, hey, I'm down. I'm down big time.

"Can I tell you about our specials?"
