How's that for integrity!

The ADA says in court - on the Record - that this has nothing to do with the Duke Case. Yet, the Duke investigators that have absolutely nothing to do with this case are in court observing.

Clayton - ran the lineups, was at Blincos that night.
Himan .
And they couldn't fit the others in the pictures.

But, how does the ADA get away with that. That's a breach of ethics.

Guess Himan could've been there for his comments in his notes that Nifong wanted the Cabbie arrested and wanted to know when he was in custody.

What excuse for Clayton ? others?

Things started badly when his ADA Ashley Cannon was caught in a lie in court. While vainly attempting to advance the boss's vendetta against cabbie Elmostafa, Cannon claimed that Elmostafa's arrest had nary to do with the Duke hoax. But, alas, notes from Duke case indicated that Mr. Nifong, whose only focus (other the campaigning against those intent on removing him from office) these days IS the Duke case, directed that he be informed immediately upon the arrest of Mr. Elmostafa. Uh-oh! Strike one.

Moving right along, the star witness, a security guard who happens to share a work address identical to that of the ever-popular local writer, man about Blinco's, and occasional police sergeant, Mark Gott-Lies, took the stand. His testimony, which claimed that Elmo's "getaway" cab sped off before the door to the taxi even closed, momentarily seemed to be a Perry Mason moment. Alas, videotape revealed that this statement was patently false and the star witness slunk from the stand. Strike two

Just as Nifong and Gottleib have been doing, the ADA was lying so transparently that there was no way she was going to be believed by anyone (except perhaps for some of the nitwits over at the CourtTV site). And by so incompetently having the DPD Duke Lacrosse case investigators in the court room she laid the ground work for that absolutely remarkable picture of a placid, classy and decent Elmostafa "framed" by the image of the two members of the Nifong/Gottleib gang who looked the exact opposite of placid, classy & decent.

By the way, perhaps Gottleib couldn't be there because he plans to say he was in Florida reviewing his original case notes when the hurricane blew them away. He's going to have to come up with something equally ridiculous to say to explain the absence of original case notes. He would look like the detective world's biggest idiot if he tried to say he never took any notes. Of course, he could be overtaken by honesty and say "well, I shredded them when Nifong told me to make them disappear".
