Mike Nifong Deserves Way More than One Day in Jail
September 1, 2007
I know the guy lost his license, too. But still, he lies in court about his failure to provide the defense with exculpatory evidence in the Duke lacrosse rape case and all the judge sentences him to is a day in jail?
He put the boys who were accused of this crime through a year of misery because he couldn’t be bothered to do his job. The least he can do is sit in jail for the full 30 days.
I agree. This man ignored obvious evidence that the accuser was lying in order to secure an indictment and therefore win re-election to District Attorney. Any man who is willing to drag innocent people’s names through the mud and risk ruining their lives to advance his political career deserves more than 24 hours behind bars.
