The assertion by the ADA that Elmo's case had nothing to do with the LAX case is laughable. I think the judge pretty much ignored the whole thing, dismissing the charges because the only physical evidence (the tape) was exculpatory. What a waste of time and transparently vindictive. If this case goes to trial, add witness intimidation to the long list of Nifong buffoonery to come out during testimony.
Before this is over, Nifong will end up on a defense witness list on the prosecutorial misconduct defense.
And the papers and the media totally ignored the fact that this charge (misdemeanor aiding and abetting larceny) is as rare as a Polar Bear in Durham.
I looked through a bunch of scheduled cases - and only found it a couple times out of hundreds - and in those cases the defendant also had principal charges against them for other crimes. Like it was used when the had a FELON and they threw the book at him.
I could not find it as a stand alone charge.
