Looks like the NC Bar is charging Mike Nifong with even more – and even more serious – professional misconduct.

The state bar has added ethics charges to a complaint filed against the prosecutor who brought sexual assault charges against three Duke lacrosse players, accusing him of withholding DNA evidence and misleading the court.

The new charges by the North Carolina State Bar against Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong were announced Wednesday and could lead to his removal from the state bar, according to a copy of the updated complaint.

Looks like Nifong is going down. These charges, if upheld, will virtually require that the disgraced prosecutor be disbarred.

At what point will his misconduct be seen to have so poisoned this case as to make any charges unsustainable?
