Nifong

NIFONG....Durham district attorney Michael Nifong explains his obscene mishandling of the Duke rape case:

He said he had not intentionally withheld evidence in the case, though he had made mistakes. He said that some mistakes made in the case, including mishandling evidence and not turning favorable DNA tests over to defense lawyers, were based on his inexperience in handling felony cases and oversight.

He said he had not handled a felony case since 1999, concentrating on traffic offenses in recent years.

Spare me. This guy makes Alberto Gonzales look like a boy scout. I hope he's disbarred with extreme prejudice.
