My belief based on the transcript of the photo array session is that she was certainly brief not to pick certain people. And do you happen to know that she picked 4 lacrosse players and the authorities picked 3 to indict?

"Have to disagree with you. EVERYONE knows the boys are innocent and Nifong is a political hack guilty of gross prosecutorial misconduct."

Who in their right mind would send a child there?

The same people who think Nancy Pelosi is a conservative Catholic and Judge Greer is the next King Solomon. In other words, the MAJORITY of our countrymen.

Except for the fact that she picked four people and Gottlieb coached her past the Durham native whose father is on the Duke faculty.

I vaguely recall that, but I'm on information overload on this case. I say I recall it because I recall speculating that she'd picked badly (i.e., #4 was out of town).

Menendez won in NJ

Hevesi won in NY

Proving that dishonest people can win elections in demonrat districts.

Are you of a mind that because Nifong won re-election the boys are tainted?

More like the taint will never ever leave Nifong. The boys have been unjustly accused and nothing will convince honorable people of anything different. As for the rest, they're the people who were happy OJ went free because he killed a white woman and a jewish boy.

They can go to hell, and they will.

Had no idea about the fourth player she picked out.

This case is so filled with corruption it ought to be case that is taught in every law school in the country.

Yeah, there is so much information on this case now that it is hard to keep up with it all.

In all three lineups the only guy she consistently picked as being at the party (i.e. not a rapist) was out of town. K C J had a good post on this just a couple of days ago.

surely Nifong knows he has no case left ....why is he doing what he is doing?

Nifong is trying to stay out of jail. Nifong will drag Mangum into court, she will not be about to ID Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann with certainty and Nifong will drop the charges hoping against hope that he can lay this at her feet.

Nifong's problem is that Mangum had already changed her story a couple of times prior and he conspired and hid evidence. So he still has serious criminal and tort liability issues.

If that fact alone doesn't weigh heavily with the judge to toss the line-up IDs, I don't know what would. Surely he will move to dismiss this case based on lack of evidence to move it forward, don't you think?

She simply chose 3 or 4 people she thought she remembered from the Party. Occam's razor trumps probability when there are no other facts. I, for one, have no idea and have seen no data on which guys on the team come from the richest families.

That she was likely coached by Gottlieb is in my mind a more reasonable supposition than she was able to pinpoint the rich kids.
How much mystery is attached to the fate of the 4th guy she had picked? Do we have his name? Is he local? Are his parents rich?
