#1 A very limited apology. Without any explanation of your motivations. Doesn't really seem like an apology to me. Seems more like a ritual you were forced to go through.

#2 If he had resigned, and turned in his law license, that would have been a real apology.
As it is, the NC Bar Association is very likely to disbar him. That will make it really difficult for him to continue as DA.

#3 could face penalties up to disbarment.

He should serve hard prison time.

#4 They should do to his reputation what he did to those three kids. After theere doen they should concentrate on one Patrick Fitzgerald for making up a case out of NOTHING. Then they should focus on the current scandal-de jour of firing U.S. Attroneys, which includes an anal examination of the wholesale firing by the Clintonistas.

#5 For all of youse guys that are constantly dissin' laywers, this looks like there are soem that can still carry a broom and clean up the mess left by others. Disbarment should be step 1, follow ons should be lawsuits by all the students. This POS will be done before its all over. Now if it happened in Taxachusetts or the other Washington, he would probably be elected king. or something.

#6 For those of us who diss lawyers (and hey, I'm a doc), let's remember and thank the six lawyers who worked on behalf of the defendants -- they demonstrated why every accused person needs a competent defense.

#7 SW - very true. It's also true that they attacked the very facts the accusations were based on. Much easier when your client is actually...innocent.
