Nifong judge lets disgraced DA resign, no permanent removal
2007-07-03
Nifong is scum, and the good-old-scum network in Durham kicks in.

This is, of course, about the Duke Lacrosse rape hoax. But it's also about entrenched officials who don't give a flying damn about the public.
Judges in North Carolina are cowed by prosecutors; the latter have more power there than in just about any other state. That's why the lack of checks and balances is particularly egregious, it lets a man like Nifong do just about as he wants. If the defendants had been poor Nifong would have gotten away with it.
