Charlotte News and ObserverMike Nifong, the former Durham District Attorney who lost his job and law license for misconduct in the Duke lacrosse case, makes too much money to seek bankruptcy protection, a federal court administrator has concluded.

In his bankruptcy protection petition, Nifong listed the monthly income for him and his wife as $9,209.96 -- he makes $4,957.48 in pension and retirement income, and she makes $4,252.48.
Shortly after the bankruptcy administrator filed his statement, Jim Craven, Nifong's lawyer, amended court documents to reclassify his client's potential debt as non-consumer debt, which would raise the allowable income level and possibly keep the case in bankruptcy court.

But James A. Beaty, the federal judge who entered the order, left open the possibility that Nifong could be added to the suit again. In the bankruptcy petition, Nifong listed potential debts of $180.3 million -- a projected $30 million each to Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann, plus $30 million each to three other players who were not charged with rape but who filed civil claims late last year.

Before feeling too sorry for this PERSECUTOR, keep in mind that he makes $5000 a month in retirement and pensions to sit on his ass all day doing nothing and watching TV.
