Nifong Wants To Be Removed From His Own Embarrasing Case

District Attorney Mike Nifong has requested that he have himself removed from prosecuting the Duke Lacrosse rape investigation, ABC News has learned.

A source close to the investigation said Nifong sent a letter to North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper asking his office to assume responsibility of the case.Calls to the Attorney General's office and Mike Nifong's office were not yet returned.

Three Duke Lacrosse players, Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans were indicted in 2006 on charges of rape, sexual assault, and kidnapping.

The rape charges were dropped in December after the accuser could not recall key details of the alleged attack.

Great, now if only he would have himself removed from office and crawl into the gutter where he belongs. Also, what this article means by "after the accuser could not recall key details of the alleged attack" is "after the accuser was proven to be a heinous liar with and agenda."
