He was even insulted when some people reacted with skepticism.<br /><br />I am not holding my breath. Usually this kind of thing waits until the case is over before assessing the offender's behavior. It's not the bar's role to jump into an ongoing case. That should be for the judge.<br /><br />I am not holding my breath for either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-42669400095917911482006-11-29T00:03:00.000-05:002006-11-29T00:03:00.000-05:00Texas does not have an open discovery law.

If the NC Bar was so up in arms about the Gell case, then why is David Hoke, one of the prosecutors who withheld the exculpatory evidence, the number two person in the NC court system and a clerk to the chief justice of the NC Supreme Court? <br /><br />I'm sorry, but that sure as heck does not look like punishment to me. The man is drawing a big salary, influencing legal opinions in the state, and basically being able to practice the profession which he so disgraced. David Hoke suffered NOTHING. Alan Gell, on the other hand, spent many years on death row.<br /><br />So, if we are going to speak of the bar and proportionality, where is the proportionality in that set of circumstances? The only just outcome would have been for Hoke and Debra Graves to be given the sentence that they almost successfully had carried out.<br /><br />Just think; the state was going to KILL Alan Gell. The man most responsible for that travesty paid no price whatsoever, save a slap on the wrist reprimand.<br /><br />I guess this tells me that if a person is a lawyer working for the state of North Carolina, he can do whatever he wants, commit any crime he wants, lie, cheat, and falsely imprison people, and nothing happens to him. No wonder people like Nifong love their jobs as prosecutors!<br /><br />No, I doubt anything will happen to Nifong at all. I would love to be shown to be wrong here, but experience tells me differently.<br /><br />By the way, what about the prosecutors in the Little Rascals case? What happened to them? Oh, they still are practicing their professions. They destroyed the lives of innocent people, but they still are "hero prosecutors."<br /><br />North Carolina Justice is an oxymoron, at least where state-employed lawyers are concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
