Fox News reports that Mike Nifong could get jail time as a result of his actions in the Duke rape case scandal. I for one would push for jail time in this instance for many reasons.
For starters, he nearly ruined the lives of those he sought to prosecute and cost their families millions of dollars in legal fees. He lied, withheld evidence and interfered with the administration of justice. He brought shame and dishonor to the legal profession. As a consequence, Nifong was disbarred. I’m unsure as to whether there is a good chance of Nifong serving jail time, but given the egregious nature of the case and the national attention it received there is definitely a larger chance that North Carolina will seek to make an example out of this disgraceful man.
