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
Maybe this explains why some people in her life like her ex-husband have been saying nice things about her. Maybe they know if they say anything bad about her or to her they will be accused of rape or attempted murder?
Just curious, why do you call him "Scuse Me"? I must have missed that reference.

In 2004 she filed a complaint with the Durham County Sheriff's Office against a nursing home where she worked briefly. As is her pattern, she dropped the complaint when the nursing home asked that she submit a criminal record in order to get paid. I bet she lied to the employer when hired, saying she had no prior arrests.

DANG!
She likes to file complaints.
The mother said the accuser went to a Raleigh hospital last year "for about a week" with a "nervous breakdown". And as evidence of how close-knit the family is, the mother is guessing the problem was "mounting bills".

She's been in trouble with the law almost every year since she graduated from high school.
Taking it as a whole, you could say she's been in trouble with "authorities" for quite a few years.
I'm sure Newsweek misunderstood what he said. :-)
Yes, she is troubled to say the least.
I cannot believe Nifong arrogant comments today, about how the defense doesn't want to go up against him.
That truly is a LOL moment.
BBL
According to Rita Cosby's initial interview with the ex-husband, at one time he and the accuser had restraining orders out on each other. I guess hers cited his attempt/threat to kill her, but I wonder what reason 'Scuse Me gave for needing distance from her?
Yeah, but what's he going to say on the witness stand when he's asked if he attempted to kill his ex-wife?
Could he be charged with a attempted murder if he answers "yes"?
Otherwise, he's got no choice but to say the woman is crazy.
He seems to have a mighty high opinion of himself.
Or he's flat out crazy.
No wonder Woody Vann spoke so glowingly of her. By this time he may seem like one of the family.
That may be the purpose that police and prosecutors have acquired over the years, but that is not the purpose they are supposed to have under our constitution and legal system. That distorted purpose is another example of abuse of power by government.

How are you guys coming up with more than one??
Among the initial 2002 charges was "driving with a revoked license," so she had some driving infractions prior to the "joyride".
I somehow doubt the escort service provides W-2s to its employees. She may have committed tax evasion offenses.
You left out "Exotic Dancer" ;)
