Nifong Guilty of Ethics Violations

Mike Nifong has been found guily of ethics violations by the North Carolina State Bar:

The penalty phase of trial began Saturday afternoon. Nifong’s punishment could range from a written reprimand to disbarment. He already announced Friday his intention to resign as district attorney.

With that, the long saga of what was once known as the Duke Lacrosse rape scandal is over. Nifong’s conviction was widely anticipated as justice for the three players who were indicted in spring 2006 on charges of rape, kidnapping, and sexual offense.

In April, the three were cleared of all charges and declared innocent by the attorney general of North Carolina.

Byebye Nifong. Byebye injustice. Hello justice, I think I’m gonna laugh.

He more than deserves it.
