/Of course, you do realize, don't you, that because Nifong refused to even LOOK at those pictures that Cheshire tried to show him that this entire indictment can be thrown out, right?

Since Nifong refused to meet with Cheshire or Evans, wouldn't it have made sense for Cheshire to have hand delivered the exculpatory evidence to Nifong's office. If Nifong then decided not to look at this evidence, it seems that Nifong would have looked even worse.

Kroger could very well be a meeting place. Maybe Kim's pimp was there? Maybe Crystal's pimp was supposed to be there?

Could Kim have called CM's boyfriend/pimp, made arrangements to meet at Kroger but cops beat him to it?

Or...maybe Kim knows someone on the department. "What to do? I'm stuck with Skank 2, I just can't throw her out on the street."

Kim's phone records are essential.

Or a girlfriend was over and they're not even the AV's nails.

Bingo. Nifong HAS to establish chain of custody of said fingernails to the FA...

Yeah, I mentioned Cheshire's strong statement about the nails. Something about "Wait till you see..."

I think we may learn something very interesting about these nails.

As far as I know, there is no chain of custody since the players handled the nails a couple times before the police collected them.

Pirro spoke of the nail at the end of her comments ... sort of a 'oh, btw, I understand the DNA was found on top on the press-on nail.'

I mostly posted at LittleGeenFootballs. My nic there is "Baldy" The Pres got a bum rap on Katrina. Even I know to get out of the way of a hurricane (and to have at least a few days worth food & water), and I live in Pittsburgh. I just have always assumed people should be prepared for disasters, and to not expect the govt to get there as quick as some in this country. I guess common sense isn't so common in NOLA.

"It makes you mad. It makes you angry. They say she's a false accuser before this has even gone to trial," he said.

OK, so it is wrong to proclaim your innocence before the trial.

I'm wondering why the other two boys haven't come forward and said the same thing before they got him. It just doesn't add up to me

OK, so now they are guilty because they did not proclaim their innocence before the trial. Well except that they both have fairly stong records that prove they left before the alledged rape occurred. The thing that doesn't seem to add up is the prosecution and this lady's story. If there was a rape, I really don't think she knows who did it and without DNA effidence or other eye witness accounts, there should be no convictions.

Maybe the DPD didn't take Kim's name because they are familiar with the AV. They picked her up drunk, half dressed, and minus a six inch white shoe.

On Greta tonight, they said that because Nifong knew about those pictures and he didn't show them to the Grand Jury, the entire indictment can be thrown out.

So, the entire case indeed was a sham from the get-go, from the DA's pov? Sure seems like.

The DNA of Crystal should absolutely be on the "underside" of the nail if they had been used for scratching and fell off because of how these are applied. If she dumped them on the vanity or whatever and never applied them, no sticky and no DNA on the underside.

On the Today Show Abrams just made the same comment about DNA found on top of the nail.

Not to mention that a 90% DNA match is not a match at all.

Where is this 90% DNA match coming from? I know some confused poster was saying that last night, but I figured she/he just got the 90% ID and the consistent with DNA mixed up, and was calling it a 90% DNA Match, Have I missed something has something come that states there was a 90% DNA match?

It comes strictly from marajane.

She changed the AV's "90% sure" to "90% DNA match".

Apes are closer than a 90% DNA match to humans, I believe.

I am absolutely certain that the DPD was well acquainted with CGM long before the night in question. I'd bet money that the DPD's response was "Ah jeez, here's nusto Crystal again". (To Kim) "Thanks for snagging her. Go on home."

I believe that came from the mind of the poster.
