Since I know your going to ask, prosecutors have absolute prosecutoral immunity from civil claims under state law.



It varies state-to-state - are you saying North Carolina has absolute immunity here? My dad, a retired Texas judge, glanced very casually at it and though the Duke players might have a case depending on NC statute and case law there, and even thought the team coach might be worth looking at. You'd probably need someone from within Nifong's office to testify that the charges were brought to further Nifong's election and not due to a belief in guilt.

Yes - the AG's statements are remarkable! I suspect they won't be exchanging friendly greetings at the state bar convention any time soon...
