Wow, he's spending more time in Jail than the murderer of Janet at this point. Gosh, I hope that changes soon.

~~ snipped
Former fellow prosecutor Freda Black plans on running for the office next year.
She says Saacks' appointment sets a good tone for the future of the district attorneys office.

Well, good deal here. It seems that progress is being made in Durham.
Hopefully the elections next year will be handled tactfully and that there will be no Nifonging of the elections next year.
Good Luck to Freda Black, it's going to be a long year until they get a full-time DA, but at least the acting DA is an ethical man.

Michael Nifong's booking photo:
A little different from the night we met him.
Praying for the people of Durham that they start to feel confidence in their
system of justice again. May truth in justice be their first priority.

Three Lawyers Want Nifong's Old Job
Updated: 10/29/2007 12:51 PM

Tracey Cline is chief assistant district attorney and Mitchell Garrell is assistant district attorney. Freda Black was an assistant prosecutor until she was dismissed by Nifong two years ago.
All three plan to run for Nifong's old job next year. Steve Monks, a lawyer who ran a write-in campaign against Nifong in 2006, say he may run if he's not elected to the City Council in the meantime.

Everything I have read about Mitch Garrell is good. I heard he is a very good prosecutor and has won some tough murder cases. Freda Black is also running and we all know her track record. She's tough as nails.
This will be an interesting race, especially since Tracey Cline worked so closely with Nifong.

From Durham-in-Wonderland: "Cline agreed last week that attorneys have a duty to report unethical conduct among their colleagues."
She states she had no knowledge of what Nifong was doing...
I didnt have any personal information about what went on in the lacrosse case, other than what the media reported, she said.
But wait...
Cline did help Ben Himan prepare the fraudulent nontestimonial order that got the case going. According to the Gottlieb deposition, he and Himan spoke to Cline, and then the district attorneys office thought it was a good idea to go ahead and do a Non-Testimonial.
Nifong himself told Crystal Magnum that he was going to try the case with Tracey Cline.
At the Ethics hearing, Kendra Montgomery-Blinn testified that Cline implemented the No-Drop policy, in which the Durham DAs office has adopted a policy of effectively abandoning even the fiction of prosecutorial discretion, but only on sexual assault cases.
I'm seeing a huge battle for this spot, in which Tracey Cline is already tainted.

What next? U.S. Bankruptcy Court, of course.

Nifong lists David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, as well as three other members of Duke University's 2006 men's lacrosse team as unsecured creditors, each owed $30 million.
More 30 other lacrosse players from that team are also listed as creditors, each owed $1, as well as other people involved in the nearly yearlong investigation of rape, sexual assault and kidnapping claims by an exotic dancer.
Nifong lists his assets to include his house, car and personal belongings, valued to be at $243,898.

"... the North Carolina State Bar, owed $8,397.71 for costs related to his disbarment ..."
I know that certain debts cannot be discharged; I would have thought that this would fall into that category.

Adminstrator: Nifong too rich for bankruptcy
Nifong's case, West said in his statement, should be "presumed to be an abuse" because his annual income would be higher than federal limits. The administrator's statement is not a ruling. But if West follows up with a motion to dismiss, and if a judge agrees, that could make it more difficult for Nifong to hide in bankruptcy court from the three exonerated lacrosse players who are suing him.
