NIFONG WENT TO JAIL

JAIL

Largely for humiliation purposes, Mike Nifong was sentenced to a day in jail for his rush to judgement in trying to put six Duke lacrosse players in prison for the rape of a black dancer that attended one of their parties.

Nifong, who was up for re-election, vowed that those boys would not go unpunished. He even went as far as lying to the court and not turning over exculpatory evidence. He was replaced on the case, disbarred and now sentenced to spend on day in jail. All Duke players were cleared.

Hell, Paris Hilton was punished worse than this guy and she didn't even hurt anyone. He needed to be the example that people should not play politics when dealing with peoples lives. The one thing that I detest about any politician is that they will go to no ends to use people to get where they want to go.
