Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong tearfully announced his resignation Friday after testifying about missteps he made in the Duke lacrosse rape case.
During emotional last words he made while on the stand in Raleigh, N.C., Friday, the embattled prosecutor said he made mistakes in the prosecution of three Duke lacrosse players — Reade Seligmann, Dave Evans and Collin Finnerty — after an exotic dancer claimed they raped her at an off-campus lacrosse party the night of March 13, 2006. However, he maintained he never lied to the state bar association over any facts of the case.
Good riddance. Now he should be disbarred and prosecuted.
Mike Gravel is an idiot, but this is great. For those of you not in the know — he’s running for president. Yeah, I know, not a household name — and not a chance in hell.
I’d take him over Ron Paul, though. Barely.
I hope he’s goofy enough to run this on television.
