Well, I don't think he should hang, but I do believe he should be disbarred and prohibited from practicing law in the state of North Carolina for 6 years.

With the use of unethical trickery, he can actually be charged by the North Carolina Bar. In North Carolina, he could actually face admonishment to removal from the bar. This is a serious matter for this lawyer who was merely attempting to intimidate the Duke players into confessing to a crime they did not commit. He was also trying to support and use fraud, deceit, and intentional misinterpreted information to cause the public to rise up against the Duke players.
He can not be hanged; but he can be humiliated into being absent from public law, as well as private practice. He has created a divide between the black and white communities. As for the young men who were charged, they used bad judgment. They should have thought about what they were doing. The young black woman has a right to be a dancer. However, the young men should have hired a more reputable young woman to dance, and have some kind of monitoring to assure things do not get out of hand, as well as for their own protection. This time, they chose wrong.
It is not a black/ white issue. It is an issue of a man who needs the black vote to retain his job. He never considered the rights of the Duke players, or even the young woman who needed to dance to make money. Remember, he has never sat down with the dancer to discuss her testimony; he also violated her rights.

No...not hang...that's being a little silly. But he should be publicly disgraced, disbarred, and forced to publicly apologize to the players, Duke University, the people of the county who elected him, and the people of North Carolina whom he represented. He has done an egregious thing and I hope that these players band together and sue for the violation of their civil rights. I also believe the assistant DA's in that office should resign as well. They should have spoken up and/or resigned when this was becoming obviously a case of political idiocy. Unfortunately, I think they are somewhat responsible, too.

Capital punishment in North Carolina, unfortunately, is performed by lethal injection. Besides, Eddie Jordon, DA for New Orleans, would be a much better candidate for his prosecuting the Danziger 7.

He shouldn't hang but, he should lose his license and his job. It was a pretty pathetic way in which he handled the Duke case.
Truthfully if I were one of those boys I would file a civil case against him. He only used the case to get re-elected. That is no reason to file charges. Shame on him.

Hang? Yes, hang up his hat, as a DA and lawyer. The country is enraged and I believe his constituents wish they had never re-elected him.

He shouldn't hang, but he should be disbarred and lose his license permanently.
