If I were the MSM and wanted to take the focus off of something like immigration-an issue on which I was losing-I might try to make a simple case of rowdy students, an untruthful stripper, and prosecutorial misconduct into a nationally significant case of privileged white boys and oppressed black girls. I could always blame the prosecutor for everything if it started looking like I was the bad guy.
That would be interesting to know, GAgal. Very interesting.
I wonder if these ID's will stand up in court?
I was listenning to FNC while putting away the dishes a few minutes ago and what struck me was why a photo array rather than a real lineup?
I would think that a line up would always be preferable to a photo array and it is not like everyone wasn't available? Of course a line-up on TV means the suspects attorney is present. Mabye someone did not want to have attorneys observe her "identification?"
I believe that's exactly what happened. Until I'm informed otherwise on this point, I will assume the worst about the legal ethics and unsavory machinations occurring in the prosecution's side because, so far, those are the characteristics the prosecution has demonstrated.
Why wouldn't the DA ask her right away?
Girl, you've got some catching up to do. :)
Seligman's timeline, photos, and evidence just keep getting better and better. He needs to sue this sorry DA and his accuser for malicious prosecution. The DA refused to look at exculpatory evidence. I'd love to see the Seligman and maybe some Duke alums keep Mr. Nifong busy defending a civil suit the next few years. What he did was wrong. What do you expect from a Democrat?
He campaigned on this case.
Hardin is now a judge

After an 11-year term of office that brought landmark changes to Durham's legal system, District Attorney Jim Hardin Jr. was named Monday to a special Superior Court judgeship that will require him to preside over civil and criminal cases across the state.
"I'm thrilled," said Hardin, who worked in the DA's office for nearly 10 years before winning his first election as chief prosecutor in 1994.
Hardin's gubernatorial appointment to the judgeship is for five years..."
