Can't help you with the TIVO stuff, but I thought we already knew that Reade was "Adam". I'm sorry to learn about the rest of her story (kind of gross for public consumption). She tells a good tale, but she has to be able to prove it is more than that. I'd bet the farm, she can't with Reade. If he has a straightforward iron-clad alibi, combined with her photo I.D. of someone who wasn't even in Durham that weekend, then I think David and Colin should be fine. If Colin has additional alibi information, then it's O V E R.
Additionally, if this EVER gets to Court, the jury tainted, this will be overthrown in the higher courts. This verdict will never stand. In order to go after the D.A., the family has to win at the City/County level. With that, they will own Duke and Durham and Mr. Nifong will be out of a job shortly after that, unless Durham would rather have a criminal as their D.A. as opposed to someone honest.
They've already got a criminal for a DA, and seem to be on the road to cementing his position as such.
One-party rule.
