I just got the breaking news email that Duke Lacrosse prosecutor Mike Nifong has been disbarred for several infractions, including withholding DNA evidence from the defense. The players plan to file criminal charges this coming week.
Even the words the man said in his own defense read like a bad joke. Good riddance!
Saturday, we had quite the goings-on at my place. I had some blogging friends come over, and we had a wonderful time. Deb came in from New JerseyMarcus was here as well. You’ve met Marcus on this blog before, since he’s from right here in North Carolina. And if food can make someone a native, we can now count Deb among our number. I fed her fried chicken, fried okra and boiled peanuts. We had a grand time.
In this picture, Marcus’ tall self is in the back, and Deb is beside him. I am right there in the front, and no, I wasn’t sitting down!

Have you heard this? I doubt you could have missed it, because it’s been all over the news. To recap, several months ago some players on the Duke Lacrosse team were accused of sexually assaulting an exotic dancer at a party. The players were white, and Duke is a very expensive, prestigious school. The girl in question was black, so the media made much ado over the racial overtones, and the DA went right along with them. He’s had charges filed against him by the ethics board for his actions in the case. You can read more at CNN.
