Former prosecutor Nifong is whining that he's being treated unfairly:

When former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong mailed in his law license last week, he also included a note bemoaning "the fundamental unfairness" of the North Carolina State Bar's handling of his ethics case.

Nifong was disbarred for his handling of rape charges against three Duke University men's lacrosse players. State prosecutors later dismissed the charges and declared the players innocent.

I think we have a new dictionary example of chutzpah, to replace the old one about the guy who murdered his parents and threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan.

I have to say that I also like the part about how the dog ate his law license.

As a NC resident but not a Durham resident I have no dogs in the middle of this fight. But as someone who would expect all of us to get fair treatment under our laws, Nifong irks me, no end.

All this does is show his continued arrogance. An arrogance that keeps going even in the face of being caught with his hand in the prosecutorial pickle barrel.

I don't know if Mr. Ex-D.A. will do time for this. But I do hope those boys take him to the cleaners financially. It is a small concession to them given that this case will always cast a shadow of doubt on them and their families.
