Prosecutor Mike Nifong has been disbarred by a state disciplinary committee for the horrendous way he conducted the prosecution on rape charges of three innocent Duke lacrosse players.

"This matter has been a fiasco. There's no doubt about it," said committee chairman F. Lane Williamson.

Nifong has given up his right to appeal, meaning this verdict is final. However, Nifong could still face criminal charges.

The photo, taken April 11, 2006, shows a sign posted in Durham, North Carolina, reading, "Nifong Admit how wrong you were! How stupid -- stop while you can save face and apologize. Lacrosse deserves it!"
