…must also come down.

So it has been for the reputation and political stature of Durham DA Mike Nifong. Today Nifong hits his lowest point as he must finally come before the NC State Bar. Oh, justice. Oh, karma. How sweet you are.

Well-known Duke lacrosse case blogger KC Johnson is in Raleigh covering the story. WRAL will also carry the hearing live online and on TV. It starts at 10am.

[Edited to add: The Herald-Sun is going to bat for Nifong one last time. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. This article explains that the Durham PD is to blame for not getting a prompt interview with the accuser. Nifong is mentioned only once–and in a sentence that implies he was misled by shoddy police work. Let me predict that this will be Nifong’s defense before the State Bar.]
