Former District Attorney Nifong gets only one day in jail
Embattled former district attorney Mike Nifong was held in criminal contempt of court and sentenced to one day in jail Friday for his actions in the flawed Duke lacrosse team rape case.
Personally, I don’t think this is enough. Time and time again our elected officials are getting away with some pretty outrageous behavior. I feel they should have made an example out of Nifong. His self-serving political agenda almost shredded the lives of the accused. Not that I feel too bad for the three lacrosse players accused of sexual assault, but if it had been me, I’d have been completely fucked. I don’t come from an EXTREMELY wealthy family. I don’t have the resources that were afforded to these three young men. If it had been me or some other average Joe, former District Attorney Nifong would’ve had another notch to place on his belt and my life would be ruined. That whole sexual assault thing sort of sticks around ya know?
So anyway, yay! Way to go American Legal System! Kudos to you and your overwhelming effectiveness!!!
