I agree. I read at work sometime and I can't have that up on my screen.

[maggief]

Nothing found on Damon.

[TommyDale]

I just thought that was an amazing coincidence. What are the odds?

[pepperhead]

One with her as president.

[pepperhead]

I guess you could adblock it.

[Ready4Freddy]

Most would, and her case would get to the panel first.

Under the circumstances, what Bar would uphold Nifong and disbar Ashley Cannon?

[JLS]

Of all the comments from Volokh on Johnson's site this one cut to the nub:

Face it. This guy [Nifong] sees the need to defend his own actions in the future. He’s in better shape if he, personally, can say “she told me this, she never changed her story to me, and that’s the information I went to trial with.” If he had been speaking to her for months, and her story had changed and contradictory information had come out (as it has), and then he simply decided to use the “best” (for him) story at trial, he’d have a much more uncomfortable afternoon or two before the bar authorities.

Granted, he still faces that burden through the police interviews, but I think he’s more personally insulated if there’s no prior Nifong interview.

Cannon - Nifong allegations

get 10 seconds on noon ABC 11

local TV news. "Nifong being dragged

into the mud.."-- Lots of car wrecks

lead broadcast. Better visuals.

Note to channel 11 producers: good

visuals over in Hillsborough at the

Platinum.

[Hogeye13]

I'll bet the defense already knows more about this case than she does. They quite obviously know more about it than the DA and his "investigator", Linwood Wilson, do.

Abb, maybe you can ping this list.

It seems as if Brian Taylor's stepfather is Liberia's Internal Affairs Minister designate Ambulai B. Johnson.
This would explain why he has gotten "special treatment"

Brief background:
Minister of Internal Affairs—Ambulai B. Johnson

Asset Reported Value Estimated Value Amount Owed Net Location
A B= A*Percent C D=B-C Location
Savings Account Virginia, USA
Money Market Accounts Virginia, USA
Equity in home Virginia, USA
US Savings Bond North Carolina, USA
Stock and Mutual Fund North Carolina, USA
Infiniti G-5 North Carolina, USA
Monte Carlo North Carolina, USA
Four Acres of City Land Virginia, Liberia
Two lots of vacant land Monrovia, Liberia
Partially developed land Senjeh, Bomi, lLiberia
Plot of land Clay Street, Monrovia, Liberia
Acres of land (500) Suehn, Liberia
Acres of land (100) Johnsonville, Liberia
Two lots with a house Paynesville

Basic Asset Assumptions: Estimated property values in America were not discounted down. But we set confidence level at 70 percent that the reported values in Liberia approximate estimated values. The discount is set at 30 percent off reported amounts to reflect the high risk of deviations.

Johnson’s total net worth stands at $492,800. He has no undistributed joint family lands or properties.

Income Assumption: None. He provided all information. Major source last income generated from NIS Solutions. (see below)

Big Concern: Reported only equity in home, making it rather difficult to evaluate the merit of estimated market value against known loan amount.

Conclusion: He is asset rich. He has quite a large pool of cash and near cash assets, providing a health cash flow cushion, but no knowledge of any liabilities, which usually serves as a foundation upon which people engage in all sorts of activities.

I saw that one, JLS, and also thought it was particularly incisive. Have to admit I was a little surprised by the number of posts indicating that Nifong's not talking to the AV wouldn't be that unusual in their jurisdictions.

[Ready4Freddy]

Wow, a triple stutter, wtf happened there!? Sorry...

[Ready4Freddy]

I certainly agree with you overall, hogeye, but I think they both know plenty that the other side does not. Such as... she might well know how much discovery material still hasn't ben turned over to the defense.

I'll bet the defense already knows more about this case than she does.

Damon Johnson died of kidney failure secondary to Diabetes. It said he had fought the diabetes for 15 years.

It is posted on a family website.

Maggief, do you remember what year Finesse's son died?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

It's a family affair.....

So Brian's stepfather could very well be THE ruling family of Liberia.

And he is driving a hooker around?
