Nifong should go to jail!!

04-11-07, 06:42 PM

This man has put the justice system at risk by his dishonest behavior and in the process placed a pale over all prosecutions in this country. If the system does not hold Mr. Nifong accountable with a term in prison then how can we ever consider the system legitimate?

Good Lord!!! We agree.

I dont know what kind of punishments they hand out for said crimes....

But I gotta say, I agree with ya, %100. One must worry about all the cases that didnt get such publicity. You have to think the only reason this is all coming to light is because of the public nature of the case....

Same goes for the victims, or defendants in this case. Had they not been so publicly cleared of all suspicion and charges, they could be looked upon as rapists for the rest of their lives, despite any outcome of trial...

...Sucks.

I don't know Virginia law concerning this situation, but my understanding is that the US Justice Department may have to prosecute Mr. Nifong for civil rights abuses before jail time could be imposed.

Never the less, I hope that all prosecutors, regardless of their level, are put on guard as to their behavior. Politics is not an excuse for prosecutorial abuse.
