Accused Duke lacrosse player Reade Seligmann's attorneys want Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong thrown off the case.
Today, they filed a legal motion specifically asking for it.
"DA Mike Nifong neglected his duty as a prosecutor to seek the truth and a fair prosecution," the defense's motion reads.
The motions were filed just 24 hours before Nifong's Tuesday election in which he's fighting to keep his seat. Nifong is being challenged by former prosecutor Freda Black and private lawyer Keith Bishop
Okay, it's says they recommend to continue the Lacrosse program next year, but look at the bottom - it says with 60 African American players. LOL!!
(he, he)
The manufactured evidence part is what has worried me!
I still have wonder what the vendetta is?
Could it be blackmail? No pun intended :)
Bad Oak Oak!! LOL
Now, all they need are players and a coach.... :)
Any word on how the evening meeting went? Or do we have to wait 'till the 11 o'clock news?
I have to run.. 2 things first.
I keep reading the 'Privileged' thing used against these Duke players.. I couldn't really remember anything like that in the past. So, I did some searches and the only other time I could see it used regularly was when George W. Bush was running the first time. Seems the media is selective.
The other thing is I couldn't find ANYWHERE, after almost two months, any use of the PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT. Huh, almost 2 months of revelation after revelation making this crime look all but impossible - and the media hasn't raised the Prosecutorial Misconduct flag.
How many shows did Larry King, Geraldo, Dan Rather, etc have where the focus was prosecutorial misconduct on the part of Ken Starr? Every Freakin' Night there were shows focused on Ken Starr's actions and NOT the Clintons.
The MSN bias just makes me so angry. So many lemmings being led by the nose. Wasn't it last week, on NATional TV, Geraldo said on O'Reilly that the players would plead guility by the end of the week. These Rich white guys will run to the Prosecutor and admit guilt when faced with jail time was the sentiment by Geraldo. Bill O'Reilly clapped and asked others to give it to Geraldo. He had really nailed it. No follow up show to admit they were wrong. No follow up comments by either to say they may have pre-judged. No nothing. I wonder how many minds were made up that Night on a Leading prime time show like the O'Reilly Factor.
Out.
The AV has made at least three allegations that we know of: two gang rape claims and one murder threat claim.
Would any man want to be in a room alone with this woman without a witness? Perhaps there are others out there (judge, DA, policeman) who don't have time-stamped ATM withdrawal pictureslike Seligman has . Who could that be?
No mention of excessive swagger?
Do a search on "Tookie Williams" and see the characters calling for his release - and compare it to the characters calling for the Duke players' heads.
Lefties are such phonies.
I did not hear of a swagger from the two gentlemen via WRAL reporting.
But maybe that the DUKELAX players "swaggered" after ingesting alcohol might be included as a footnote in the official report. ;>
But then, if they did that, they'd have to include reports about evidence of Big Foot traces found around campus pot parties, yeknew..
Her former assailents also came in threes, same number she has identified this time.
Yup, the number three is definitely here forte.
Remind me again . . why was Pressler forced to resign?
Gee whiz, was there a solid basis for any of Brodhead's decisions? Force the coach out for an out of control team . . woops, wrong. Suspend the season for the entire team that a dingbat DA said to any camera around was involved in a massive consipracy . . . woops, wrong. Suspend students for indictments from said dingbat DA . . . woops, that turned out to be less than stellar and likely phony. Allow a nice campus protest . . . woops, they turn out to be anti semitic nut jobs with weapons. Turn the campus over to the drive by media so educating takes a back seat to . . . woops, that didn't turn out so good.
Brodhead threw his own students and university under the bus to curry favor with an idiot and vindictive DA. We deserve a President at Duke who will stand by his students when the spit hits the fan.
Potentially very embarrassing for any number of people.

The former husband said that when they were married, they fell behind on bills. His former wife, he said, suggested she take a job dancing; she would be nearly nude but would make some quick money. She visited a club but decided she wasn't ready for that kind of work, he said.
That's right. You never see that drunk, cheating idiot Ted Kennedy called "privileged. "
It's a "weasel word"!
Any reporter that uses it is a weasel!
Oak.......her Father seems to have a mental illness like his daughter...
Greta.....she may not be a victim, she just may be an accuser.....
Vann.......47 potential victims....er, defendants...
"They don't want to go up against me," Nifong said when asked
outside court Monday about the defense request for his removal.
He has denied any political motivation behind his investigation.
Don't....The defense has them betwixt and between. I like the strategy....
****do lawyers play chess?****

Note to self: What are good late-night restaurants?
Do dancers like to eat late?
Check!
I wouldn't have blamed him for suspending the season...IF he had said it was for the safety of the players and their families.
I wouldn't have blamed him for suspending McFayden for his email IF he hadn't declared the racist, violent New Black Panther Party had the right to free speech.
Brodhead hasn't done Duke or its reputation any good by failing to be a consistant leader and a voice of reason.
mo
Bump ya, xo.
Damn--I was getting ready to go to bed--now I have to stay up and think.
:-)
Isn't is ironic that the would dare claim "privileged" about G.W. Bush when he was running against a guy who grew up in the Watergate Hotel and attended the National Cathederal School in DC? They have no shame.
