DUKE LACROSSE PROSECUTOR MIKE NIFONG REPORTS TO JAIL
Well, IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Mike Nifong, the disgraced district attorney who tried his hardest to bring bogus rape charges against three innocent Duke lacrosse players, reported for his itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny 24-hour jail sentence today.
For goodness sakes....Paris Hilton got more time.
Nifong, who hid behind his wife while reporting to jail, was sentenced to the mini jail term for contempt of court because he lied about DNA evidence during preliminary hearings in the Duke lacrosse case. It is absolutely amazing that a man who knowingly presented false testimony and withheld exculpatory DNA evidence - who tried his hardest to put three innocent people in prison for decades - gets one day behind bars. 
But that's just typical of how our judicial system works.
What is even more incredible is that there were Nifong supporters cheering good wishes to the their fallen hero as he turned himself in to swap his dockers for jail stripes.
One sign read, "We believe in your integrity and goodness." Was he stoned, or recently lobotomized? This prosecutor tried to ruin the lives of three innocent young men to gain notoriety and name recognition for his re-election campaign. Why? because he needed the pension!
Well, as I always say, "Darwin was wrong."
On the flip side of this sad story, it is heartening to know that the three college students who were railroaded by this unethical prosecutor are now seeking reforms of the criminal justice system as part of settlement agreements with Durham.
Of course, nothing of substance will ever happen. Protect people accused of crime. Oh, it's very unpopular.
But at least Mr. Nifong got a taste - if only a tiny taste - of what he did to those college students. I wonder, how many Nifong victims are out there that we don't know about?
