FOX News reports on this breaking news:
The North Carolina State Bar charged Nifong with breaking several rules of professional conduct, including lying to both the court and bar investigators and withholding critical DNA test results from the players’ defense attorneys.
The committee, after deliberating for a little more than an hour on Saturday, unanimously agreed with the bar on almost every charge — including the most serious allegations — that Nifong’s actions involved “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation.”
Outside the streets are oddly quiet compared to last year when the Duke lacrosse players were charged with raping a stripper at a party. There was plenty of action in Durham back when the youths were charged.
This is what the New Black Panther Party said they would do if the court did not find the players guilty:
The panthers promised there would be no peace if the students were not found guilty.
Durham in Wonderland is the go to guy on the proceedings.
