Nifong asks to be removed from caseAssociated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Facing ethics charges that could lead to his disbarment, the beleaguered district attorney in the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case has asked the state attorney general's office to appoint a special prosecutor to take over the case.

Noelle Talley, a spokeswoman for the attorney general, said Friday in an e-mail that district attorney Mike Nifong sent a letter requesting the special prosecutor. She did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Nifong did not return several calls from The Associated Press. His attorney also declined to comment.

It was not immediately clear what impact the decision would have on the troubled criminal prosecution of Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans. North Carolina attorney general Roy Cooper's office has previously declined to comment when asked about the prospect of taking over the case.

"If he accepts it, then they would transfer the files over, and they would probably have a lot of interviews to do," said Peg Dorer, director of the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys. "It would probably stop things for a while I imagine."

Under North Carolina law, only a district attorney can formally request a special prosecutor. The request can be made when there are potential conflicts of interest, when a case is particularly complex or when there are other unusual circumstances.

Did you see the mother of one of the accused?  The preview of the interview was classic. You see this wealthy looking woman, and all the families pissed off. She then says, " you picked the wrong family's to pick on Mr Nifong".

Aaahah, monster rich mother about you "de ball" a lawyer.
