Ex Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong filed for bankruptcy today. Also today, his answer to the civil lawsuits filed by the exonerated players were due.

In the October lawsuit, attorneys for the three players accused Nifong, the city of Durham, police investigators and others of conducting "one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial and scientific misconduct in modern American history."

Nifong listed his liabilities at $180 million. The case is: In re Michael B. Nifong, 08-80034, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of North Carolina (Durham).

    6 $30mill lawsuits are fair or not, but I do have a hard time mustering up any empathy at all for this maroon.

    tactic from Nifong, IMHO.

    I'm going to do this in a diary, rather than a comment, because it's quite long and involved.  

    Go read it.
