I can forgive the 'sic' of "probably", but did the Chief Judge really write "HEARBY" and "WILLFULL"?
11:25 - "Willfull" is on me. - Philip
This is laughable. Typos in an email are one thing. The Durham legal community demonstrates it can't even do the rudimentary business of the court properly. A one paragraph statement has multiple typos on behalf of this judge. His clerk needs a remedial course in typing and proofreading immediately.
Please note that it says that Nifong is "suspended with pay..." Even though he won't be in office, I assume this means that he will still get the 30 days of pay until he officially resigns from office.
