Former Durham D.A., who destroyed his career in the Duke lacrosse hoax, may be in trouble in another case.
Disgraced former Durham A.D. Mike Nifong is back in the news: a 1995 prosecution of one Darryl Anthony Howard, now 54, who was convicted of two counts of second degree murder.
Allegations that Nifong withheld evidence and essentially framed Howard have caught the attention of, among other people, well-known attorney Barry Scheck, who says this:
"This is the worst kind of prosecutorial misconduct that you can have. It's like knowingly misleading the jury. I think it's extremely troubling that it's Mike Nifong.
