NIFONG DISBARED IN NORTH CAROLINA

D.A. DISBARRED

Right before the Ethics Panel released it's findings, Michael Nifong said he thought disbarment would be appropriate punishment for what he had done. So, the panel took him up on his offer and their decision was for him to be disbarred. They have decided what further punishment was warranted.

Nifong was found guilty of lying to the judge and defense attorney and he withheld ex culpable evidence that showed none of the lacrosse players were guilty of raping the dancer. He used this case to help him in 2006 election. Nifong will lose his job, his license to practice law and may have to pay back the state for the cost of his investigation.
