I see that Nifong has his first perk since being disbarred. His registration fee drops from $25 to $15!
Way to go Nifong! Now we understand your strategy for pissing off everyone in NC.
Too bad we can't get this as a streaming video - I'd like to watch this program.

Coleman, of course. Although Freedman is going out on a limb.
But Joyner? Hack that limb off with a blunt axe and let him fall to earth of his own dead weight!
I agree, Carolyn. Freedman may talk about defending a client who was found guilty of offenses serious enough to warrant disbarment. Joyner? If he were white, he'd be a Klansman. This panel needs that racist hack as much as a guy looking for a date needs Rosie O'Donnell.
"prosecutorial misconduct- how To enable this- my experience" talk by I. Joyner. Do not miss
