From Cheshire's motion:
"Nor does the discovery contain any records of the complainant's moments spent at Durham Access Center, where she apparently made the initial accusation before later recanting at Duke ER and recanting her recantation."

According to Sgt. Shelton when they got the accuser out of the car, she collapsed on the ground. They then decided to "involuntarily commit" her to Durham Access Center.
I wonder what the consequences of that would have been? Certainly enough to lie about rape to avoid staying there and facing a mandatory tox screen.
Did you notice it was "Angels Escort Service"?
Holy smokes! Nifong is a crook -- those documents show that Nifong had actual knowledge before the indictments that Crystal had serious credibility problems and unable to identify anyone, let alone do it with certainty, that the police that her story was, as they say, crappola, and on and on and on. Add to the number of things she will get destroyed with on cross a police officer saying she was faking it when he put ammonia under her nose -- right out of the Tawana Brawley playbook. THe ironic part of the police report is that it was 3 weeks after the incident and after the case began to fall apart publicly, so you know the police officer was forced to write somoething favorable to the DA, and THAT was the best he could come up. Cheshire references a third photo lineup but doesn't discuss it, so who knows what faults are there in that lineup. At this point, there is NO witness that Nifong can present without needing to discredit all or part of their testimony. Some of the cable nuts say that Nifong has to hang the cop out to dry, but at this point he needs to hang out half the population of Durham.
I found it interesting that he referenced a 2004 NC case that dismissed a number of convictions for DAs failing to disclose material information. Perhaps Nifong believes himself to be above the law. Is a prosecutor entitled in NC to be willfully ignorant? The whole discovery shows that the DA buried any effort to ascertain the truth, and we know he didn't want to hear exculpatory evidence from the defense.
My goodness, what the heck is going on there????
