Judge: Disbarred D.A. Must Leave Now

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - A judge said Monday he would order
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong to leave his
duties immediately after he was disbarred for his misconduct
in the Duke University rape case.

The veteran prosecutor had announced earlier in the day he
would leave July 13. But that wasn't soon enough for Superior
Court Judge Orlando Hudson, who decided late Monday to
suspend Nifong from office.

As part of the suspension, Hudson said he would order the
sheriff on Tuesday to prevent Nifong from carrying out any
duties of the district attorney.

“I have thought about the situation, and this is way I wish to
proceed,” said Hudson who initially agreed to allow Nifong
work until next month July.
