NIFONG
Former Durham, NC District Attorney Mike Nifong will stand trial for his handling of the Duke lacrosse rape case. He is charged with lying to the court and withholding potentially exculpatory evidence. All the charges against the lacrosse players have been dropped. Nifong ignored the fact that the victim's story kept changing, plus there wasn't any DNA evidence linking any of the players to the rape victim.

This case in of itself is ground breaking. Lawyers usually only punish each other through the respective states Bar Assosiation. What is even more monumental is that a DA is on trial for the handling of a case. I am happy to see at least the State of North Carolina gets it. I suspect he may lose his license over this, if not his office.
