NIFONGED

"Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"

I guess we are supposed to feel sorry for Mike Nifong. The prosecutor who tried to destroy the lives of three young men, forced the Duke Lacrosse coach to resign and caused incalculable harm to the racial climate in the Durham, North Carolina area for his own selfish reasons is now going to be the victim? I don’t think so. He is a narcissistic, selfish bastard that deserves to be imprisoned for a long time.

Attorney Joseph Cheshire defended lacrosse team captain David Evans, one of the accused. He successfully defended Mr. Evans at tremendous cost emotionally and financially for David’s family and he has now seen the disbarring of Nifong. Defense attorney Joseph Cheshire said this concerning Nifong;

"It was a very poignant and sad day because you never want to see a human being destroy himself,"……. "But it was a day that needed to happen for a lot of reasons - not the least of which was to send a message to people that prosecute cases that this activity absolutely will not be tolerated.
I think for the Evanses, they'll now be able to move on. Will they ever forget the horror of this year? No. Will it always be with us in some ways? Yes. But I think we'll be able to move forward."-myway.com

He went on to say;

"Some people will take that as being mean-spirited and kicking somebody when they're down,"-myway.com

I want to assure Mr. Cheshire that no freedom loving, justice seeking, fair minded American will view this as “mean-spirited” or “kicking somebody when they’re down”. On the contrary, I would wager that a vast majority of the people in this country would like to see Mr. Nifong hang for what he did.

He has taken something from these young men and their families that can never be replaced; time. The time they lost from their lives was not just frivolously taken but during the time he took, he put them all through a living hell. Mike Nifong deserves to have his life taken, not his mortality but everything he has worked for just the way he wanted to purposely take everything from those young men and their families. He should have all his assets sold and the proceeds given to the young men to help defray their defense costs. He should lose time from his life by going to prison the way he wanted those young men to go, time equal to what they would have served if they had been found guilty because of Mr. Nifong’s wrongful prosecution of the case. And I propose one more way of punishing this out of control government employee; from now on, whenever someone is wrongfully prosecuted, they will be deemed to have been “Nifonged”. His family name shall forever be disgraced because of this man.

Every time someone in the private sector does something wrong, judges say they need to pay a heavy price as an example for others. Mike Nifong deserves to pay the maximum penalty for what he did; but what price is fair for trying to steal a person’s life?
