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

In any event, the AV phone records might end this case. As to the lack of alibi evidence shared by Finnerty's attorney, look at it this way, with Seligman filing and going public Finn gets the benefit and doesn't show his hand to a prosecutor an AV who are apparently making it up as they go. So if the AV and Inspector Closeau change the story to try and get Seligman, they don't know what Finn's alibi is. The defense has them betwixt and between. I like the strategy.

Of course you are welcome to call me Snarky.
I agree with your accessment.
I think it has been wise to keep quiet where Finnerty is concerned.
Self dialing cell phones, AND fixed DNA, AND fraudulent ATM receipts(including video), AND phony cab logs, AND doctored card swipe readers at the dorm. C'mon--which talking head will finally admit they got the wrong guy? I think Abrams is convinced, but I'm curious which "liberal" woman will finally express outrage at CGM who has set the women's cause back 100 years? She has damaged us all.
No, she needs 40% plus one vote, and she needs to beat Nifong. I hope I am wrong, but it looks to me like she and Nifong will each get more than 40% and that Nifong will win (all this publicity is probably good for Nifong among the huge group of undecideds, who must be in never never land to not have made up their minds by now).
I haven't seen it myself, but rumor has it that Greta is losing faith in this "victim".
He does not want to show his hand and give Nifong and the AV time to manufacture more evidence.
On the other hand, I did hear a complete loony on Bill OR. She was livid at the accusations being leveled at the "victim". I'll feel sorry for her when her face and name is on the front page of every newspaper, website and magazine. I still don't know what she looks like.
said she looks like a catfish, and she does and that is all I can see now. lol
I've been staring at Kimberly trying to figure out what she reminded me of, and bingo, that's it, a Catfish! Thanks, whoever picked up on that. Now I don't have to keep racking my brains trying to come up with what she reminded me of. Problem solved. And she's a catty little catfish too. And a total feminazi bimbo to boot.
Wasn't that Wendy somebody? She's usually very rational and logical. This time she's really putting her rep on the line to stand up for this "victim".
Wendy Murphy? Rational? Logical?
Scuse me?
that's it! Wendy.....She sounded idiotic. The accused should have no rights, accuser should be protected at all costs. Innocent until proven guilty presumption is only for a courtroom. Hope some guy accuses her of harassment...LOL
"Wasn't that Wendy somebody? She's usually very rational and logical. This time she's really putting her rep on the line to stand up for this "victim"."
Usually rational and logical? What programs have you been watching. She's NEVER logical or rational. She's an ultra feminazi, totally irrational, screechy, vicious, totally one-sided, won't shut up (BOR had a terrible time w/her tonite on his show trying to get her to close her wailing mouth). I absolutely can't stand her witchy self. Ugh, ugh, ugh, and one more ugh, just for good measure.
That's been my opinion of her up til now. Probably because i agreed with her assessment on other cases (i.e. Scott Peterson). But in most cases there are not so many doubts about the accusations of the accuser. In this particular Duke case, i don't see how anyone can still stick their neck out for this woman.
