[Mike Nifong]

I don't know. I know some of the detectives on the board noted that name earlier. It's hard to pin down relatives unless someone admits it.

I notice that in the primary there was a Duke law professor listed who endorsed Nifong, too.

I emailed him and asked him if he didn't think he had some responsibility now to speak up in the lacrosse case.

Of course, being a Duke law professor, he didn't respond.

(Probably busy contemplating the finer points of the law...)

THe reason I ask is that every time I dismiss a connection as too far fetched, it invariably turns out to be much worse than we thought (e.g. the cabbie story, Nifong's lies, Nifong's racially inflammatory language and subsequent endorsements in the primary, the interference by the City Manager, etc.) Frankly, at this point no one should be surprised if the DPD and Nifong are closing ranks around a relative of a retired police captain. This case has achieved mind-boggling proportions.

Wouldn't that be something if it turned out he was a vice officer. Does anyone know what area he worked?

[I want to know]

Here is an article with accompanying picture re: Terry Mangum. Though the picture isn't captioned I assume it is Mangum who is handing the award to Berger.

Also, Mangum was at one time in charge of Partners Against Crime D2 which includes the Trinity Park area.
