Knoxville, TN (TLS). The North Carolina Bar has issued a preliminary statement concerning its hearings into prosecutorial misconduct, lying to the court, and ethics violations on the part of Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong.
In a preliminary statement that many observers say indicates that Nifong is in serious trouble, the Bar stated that the Durham D.A. had attempted to 'skirt the system' in his handling of the Duke lacrosse rape scandal.
In a legal brief filed on Monday of this week, the Bar used the most striking terminology in describing Nifong's behavior. The brief states that the Bar does not accept Nifong's explanation for withholding DNA evidence and further claims that he is 'twisting words' to make his explanation fit with the law.
The brief also expresses concern that Nifong did not provide defense attorneys with a summary concerning the results of the DNA tests. That summary, according to the brief, is an essential aspect of remaining within accepted ethical boundaries.
A key component of the Bar's brief, however, is contained in these telling words: 'Nifong is arguing that he can make false statements to a court…then use his misrepresentations to claim he committed no violation.'
Judicial observers, including legal scholars, state that the wording of the Bar at this point is most poignant and points toward an attitude of incredulity on the part of Bar officials toward Nifong's defense of his behavior. This is the reason that the brief is viewed by most observers to be an early indication that Nifong is going to have a very tough time convincing the Bar that he has no culpability in his handling of this case.
Nifong's hearing before the Bar is scheduled for sometime in June.

Media Silence on Durham Rape Hoax
Washington, DC (TLS). An interesting phenomenon has occurred in the aftermath of the Durham-Duke University rape hoax perpetrated by Defendant and District Attorney Mike Nifong. What was once a media feeding frenzy, when it was first thought that a black female was raped by three rich white guys at Duke, has turned into a wall of silence in the national media.
Now that it appears the three white guys were set up by a black female who had set out to 'even the score and get her money from some white guys at Duke,' the national mainstream media apparently has decided to move on to more fruitful endeavors. This particular twist in the story does not fit with the accepted stereotypical orthodoxy that has consumed the national media.
As long as the story was about a white on black rape, the media portrayed it as an outrage. When the story became one of conspiracy. lies, and set-up, making the white guys the victims of the black female and a rogue Democrat prosecutor, suddenly there is no story.
Too far fetched to be seriously considered? Think again! Here is the proof.
Another rape has occurred in Durham which hasn't even caused a blip on the radar screen. A white woman was raped by a black man at a private house party last Saturday. The accuser has given a complete, detailed description of the perpetrator. Not only does the perpetrator still roam the streets as a free man, but the police report, which identifies the perpetrator as black, was not reported in this fashion by the local news media. The race of the perpetrator was conveniently left out in local news broadcasts in Raleigh-Durham. It was not reported at all by the national media.
Why?
The Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax was shouted from the housetops in every single news outlet in America and around the world.
According to local sources, when this story was first reported in Charlotte, it contained the complete detailed description of the alleged rapist as he was described in the original police report. His race was identified. However, by the time the story was reported in Raleigh, that key element was left out of the story. The reference in the police report identifying the perpetrator as black was deliberately left out.
Thus, the media once again shows itself to be slanted and hopelessly politically correct to the point of becoming not only inaccurate but laughable. This is not to mention the fact that this story has been totally ignored by everyone other than the local news outlets in North Carolina.
I would be willing to wager it won't EVER get reported unless somebody starts claiming that a white woman is falsely accusing a black man of rape. Then you can bet the farm it will make the headlines.
