Not yet. Case is still far from over. NC must investigate the prosecutor Mike Nifong for criminal misconduct. It is hard to believe he does not do jail time. However peers don't always like to do their job. Our remaining question is why Mike Nifong should not do jail time.

Yeah, but check this part of the article.

However, if the defendants try to sue Nifong for the way he handled the case, "they are going to have their hands full winning that civil case," said Cohen. "All public officials, and prosecutors in particular, are afforded tremendous immunity from lawsuits when they are acting in their official capacities, as Nifong was here."

Civil suite by the victims is completely different from a criminal investigation and resulting prosecution by the state. Those civil suites will inevitably be attempted. But the real question is whether state prosecutors have the balls to investigate and prosecute one of their own.

Those are two completely different legal actions (criminal verses civil) with only one thing in common - the actions of Michael Nifong.

I'm waiting for someone to charge the prostitute with criminal libel. Does she just get to walk away from this going "oops, guess I was wrong. Time to start my rounds on the morning talk show circuit". None of the reasons that expanded this case to its eventual proportions should give her any shred of protection from her crimes against these boys.
