Mike Nifong, the disgraced and disbarred prosecutor who pursued charges against three Duke lacrosse incidents long after it was obvious that they were innocent, has resigned effective immediately. The resignation is a mere formality, as Nifong had already lost his law license and been suspended from his office, but the blog LieStoppers notes that Nifong is getting off easy in one respect: He gets to resign, rather than being removed from office.
Nifong's actions were so disgraceful that seeing him formally removed from office would be an appropriate step toward assuring the people that prosecutors don't have free rein to trample on the rights of criminal defendants.
It's a shame that won't happen.
