"I emailed the story to Susannah Meadows, but got a reply that she was out until August 30..."
She's out on the biggest story of her career (the one that got her a cover!) when there are hearings in August which could decide the fate of the case?
Plus a few other things happening--like new DNA facts,
"Rodney King South", etc.?
Yeah, if I were her, maybe I'd be "out", too. . .
(Maybe she and Nifong are vacationing together. . .)
