Nifong Wants Out

Yesterday reports surfaced that Mike Nifong, the prosecutor in the Duke Lacrosse scandal, wants to be replaced. Nifong is facing ethics charges with the North Carolina Bar, a flood of media attacks, and a promise from the mother of one of the accused players that Nifong would regret for the rest of his life that he picked this fight.

It is time for Nifong to remove himself from this prosecution. Perhaps now there will be a complete, and new, review of these charges.
