Has she NOW at long last seen the light?
She also said all we are hearing is defense spin.
I remember this case. Seagroves was home with a sick child and caught two "youts" breaking into his garage. They did flee as he fired at them killing one. Hadn't remembered the other details about the officials involved.
Nifong want 49 addresses.
Finally an admission that LAX players weren't the only ones at the house?
Nancy Grace knows about spin. However, this defense "spin" is based on court records. Her spin is based on her own prejudices.
I think the article was about the wife of the Gov. not Nifong's wife. In that context it make sense.
You know, you really ARE good! It's amazing how you find this stuff!
Anyway, Mrs. Easley's "long commute" isn't that long. (Her husband appointed Nifong....and HE was the Attorney General of NC who appointed the Special Prosecutor in the Seagrove case.)
Good point. I hadn't noticed that he is asking for numerically more than are on the lax team.

First lady Mary Easley joins NC State faculty
Mary Pipines Easley, first lady of North Carolina, will join the NC State faculty this fall as part of the Executive-in-Residence program. She begins a three-year appointment as senior lecturer on Aug. 15, and will be housed within the Office of the Provost.
Easley will teach law-related courses in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Management. Easley will also continue to teach Legal Aspects of Police Supervision at NC State’s Administrative Officer’s Management Program, a graduate-level management course for police executives from throughout the United States.
In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Easley will also lead a new universitywide seminar series aimed at bringing national and international leaders from a variety of sectors – education, business and industry, government and public service – to campus to discuss the future of their area of expertise and its relationship to the higher education community in a time of rapid globalization.
NC State Chancellor James L. Oblinger said of the appointment, “We are fortunate to bring a person of Mary Easley’s stature and experience to our campus. Her energy, knowledge and experience will add tremendously to the educational experience of our students and other constituencies.”
Easley is a lawyer with extensive experience in the courtroom and the classroom. She received her bachelor’s degree in politics from Wake Forest University in 1972 where she graduated magna cum laude and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. She was also a member of the Fideles Society. She received her Juris Doctorate from Wake Forest School of Law in 1975, where she was a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. After law school, Easley served as assistant district attorney in New Hanover and Pender counties for 10 years where she prosecuted hundreds of cases before North Carolina juries. From 1984 to 1992, she maintained her own practice in the areas of civil and criminal law in Southport.
Easley recently completed a teaching appointment at North Carolina Central University School of Law in Durham where she taught Appellate Advocacy, Trial Advocacy and Criminal Trial Practice. She also managed the Criminal Law Externship program. She has lectured on numerous topics related to trial advocacy at North Carolina universities, has been a faculty member for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy and has taught continuing legal education courses within the state.

Mary Easley has active public life, but she's no Hillary Clinton
Rob Christensen, Staff Writer
First lady Mary Easley says she has no interest in running for governor in 2008, despite gossip in the Raleigh rumor mill that she is considering succeeding her husband.
Gov. Mike Easley is barred by the state constitution from running for a third consecutive term. There has been talk that Mary Easley, the first career woman to be first lady, might consider pulling a Hillary Clinton or an Elizabeth Dole -- and enter politics as her husband leaves.
But while Mary Easley says she hopes to remain active in public affairs after she moves out of the Executive Mansion, elective office is not on the horizon.
"I don't have any interest in running for governor in 2008," she said. "I love public service. I am honored at the opportunity to serve the public, whether as district attorney or whether it's been working as first lady."

It does look like I have it backwards on who tried which case. Stephens did still charge the homeowner, but handed that one off it seems.
Sorry, I meant to ping you for the post above too.
LOL ... the SI article isn't posted elsewhere on the web ... so far.
We need to find someone who subscribes to it. All we need is the account number off their mailing label. Surely someone in this group has a subscription...
Excellent post.
Thanks for the ping.
Re: SI sub # - Anybody live near a barbershop????
:o)
The USAToday editorialist seems confused. They list the lack of evidence and say lack of evidence alone is not a reason to dismiss the charges????
Anyone recall where USA Today was editorially when the story first broke in late March? Were they part of the lynch mob?
Apparently, yes: http://newsbusters.org/node/5177
