Where's Nifong?

Thursday, June 28, 2007

WRAL is reporting that Nifong is Not Expected at Hearing, Wants to Resign Monday. Evidently, he just took off and hasn't been seen:

On Monday, deputies tried to serve a notice for the hearing, in response to a civil complaint, but had to leave it at Nifong's door.

"Mr. Nifong's wife informed one of my officers earlier in the day that Mike had taken his guitar and left, and she didn't have any idea when he'd return," Capt. Bill Wrenn with the Durham County Sheriff's Office said.

Neighbors told WRAL they have not seen Nifong, nor has the special prosecutor preparing for Thursday's hearing.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I don't think he's going to become a "fugitive" as other blogs have suggested since there's no such thing in a civil case, but the story sounds like a man that has decided to retreat to his cave. Judging from the look on his face throughout his disbarment hearing, there may be a less than zero possibility that we'll find him dead in a hotel room from an overdose. If it happens, remember that you heard the grim prediction here first.

I hope he's ok. I'd like him to at least spend a few years thinking about what he's done. Suicide is the easy way out.

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
