HE was running a circus,that tried to prosecute without checking the facts. Should he be disbarred?

He intentionally chose to try the boys on the team via media, he deserves nothing less. Even in the media, the "Facts" clearly showed that there was no case. He went with it anyway -- being an election year I suspect was a great motivator. It was poor judgement all the way around (In my opinion) I am also of the opinion that as an elected official of the people, they got just what they asked for. He should pray that the new prosecutor stick more closely to the facts than did he.

I'm shocked that people are reacting this way. It doesn't matter what the girl's background was, nor is her background admissible evidence in a rape trial. No one will ever know for sure if these guys did it. But if it was any other guys being charged, no one would question it. Being a Duke lacrosse player shouldn't entitle you to special treatment. I would be disappointed if he hadn't charged them. Don't forget, these guys have been arrested for a lot of other things. They aren't saints.

He went into this prosecution to get back into office. He knew the boys did not rape her and he knew she was lying from the start. Even if they found the boys DNA in her she was a whore there being payed. You would need alot more than a whores word of rape.

He should be tried based on the merits of the case against him, based on the facts.
