Cheshire: I want to start my comments by reading to you a statement that Mr. Nifong made to the press on 3/30. I inquired why is he going out and saying they are guilty and saying this is a gang rape. Nifong says he hasn't accused anyone of anything which you all know is not true.

He said he wouldn't make arrests unless DNA tests turned up conclusive. "I do believe sexual assault occured and haven't pointed to anybody. It's possible the DNA would come back and we'd see it was someone who didn't match the profile of the lacrosse playesr" - Nifong said.

The DNA is back a second time and it doesn't match the lacrosse players. The only source DNA shows it was somene who wasn't a duke lacrosse player.

Yes! They have tried time and time again to meet with him, show him their evidence, etc.

He has refused; hell, he refused this very morning.

Yes, eight out of the 17 candidates running for office in Durham had criminal records. I found lots of interesting information on a WRAL website and a few other places.

"By state averages, Durham has an unusually high number of candidates with a criminal record. State Board of Elections Director Gary Bartlett says there is usually one candidate in one race across the state every year."

One candidate had over 30 incidents. Some were driving with license revoked or no registration but many were for assault, forgers, embezzlement, bad checks, on and on.

The place sounds like a third world cesspool yet Durham says it wants to be a tourist destination.

Nifong knows that David Evans has NEVER had a moustache!

They gave him pictures of the day before, the day of, and the day after to prove it!

My god.

A prosecutor acting in the role of an investigator has no civil immunity.

There is also no immunity for statements made outside the courtroom

Two very good points. I had forgotten all about the first and for the second...that would be a good reason for a prosecutor to say "no comment." :)

No mustache. Ever.

Nifong is not only stupid, his stupidity is being revealed to the world by Cheshire.

Cheshire: The evidence against David is, and what David told you is correct. We've sought time and again to meet with Nifong and to show him exculpatory evidence and he's refused to speak with us as late as 9:30 today. We have aske dhim to speak with David Evans. He's refused.

In the lineup that's been talked about, even though it's suggestive and unconstitutional, this false accuser pointed out David Evans with 90% certainty. She was then asked if she was sure. She said "well, if he had the mustache he had thenight of the attack, I'd be 100% sure". David Evans has never had a m ustache and Mr. NIfong knows it.

We've given him photos from the day before, the day after and scores of people who have said he never had a mustache.

That is one of the pieces of evidence Nifong is using.

Evans was at the house tha tnight. He lived there. We will provide evidence where he was each and every minute of that evening and it will prove unquestionably that this rape not only didn't happen, but it could not have happened.

I'll bet they ALL took lie detector tests for the attorney. No attorney wants a liar for a client.

I told you the first day that I know who these attorneys are and that not a one of them would EVER go on national TV and say their clients were innocent if they weren't positive.

Cheshire: Then we hav ethe DNA evidence that came out last Friday which does show no conclusive match to any lacrosse player. They are unable to exclude one match on a plastic fingernail in the trash can which contained numerous items which we will show you.

That according to our experts is as weak a DNA analysis as we can have. You all just wait until you see the fingernail and match it up to the false accusers statement. It will show you a tremendous amount.

This is one of the saddest days for justice in the STate of North Carolina. This case has been taken out to the news media before an investigaiton was finished by a person seeking public office.

Sac, I'm almost crying. I kept seeing my oldest son up there when he was in school. It could be any of our kids.

THEY ARE GOOD BOYS!

This is really unbelievable Howlin.

Unless there is some blockbuster evidence that no one seems to know about- this is one of the WORST things I've ever seen.

Appalling.

Yes, he is mad as hell and will hold nothing back to defend his client. You are right, it will be a blood bath.
