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
My heart goes out to the boys and their families, and all I can say is God help them!
Ditto
just saw a replay of Wendy Murphy...I hope she doesn't have kids.
Look how much evidence that was TOTALLY disregarded in the O.J. Simpson case? Much of the blood collection (at either the Murder scene or at Simpson's mansion - one or the other) was done BEFORE Furhman was notified or arrived on the scene. I know there was a bloody fingerprint photographed well before Police communication indicates Furhman was on the scene. That Fingerprint turned out to be Simpson's and one of the victim's blood was derived from that Fingerprint. The Defense (Cochran & Company) acknowledged it would have to be many more than Furhman involved. They bought into all that and no one could explain Simpson's injuries.
It was still NOT-GUILTY.
I've been in and around Durham and those people are convinced these guys are guilty, and that they'd be in Jail now, if they weren't rich. Many have also said at protests and on the Radio that even if the Woman ADMITS to making up the story, these Kids are racists and they should see Jail time for Hate Crimes. The black community has really rally ed around this AV. It'll only get worse in the trial atmosphere.
You're right! Isn't she evil?
I agree with you, OakOak. This is definitely scary.
She's just plain scary. She has major issues. Seriously, she needs help; no one should live with that much anger.
The gravy train just dried up. He's as dumb as Nifong. How quickly will the parents change lawyers after that hug?
Actually Simpson had 3 stories on the injuries on his left hand (that match the bloody trail left at the Murder Scene):
1) He cut it on glass when he squeezed a glass in Chicago when he was advised of Nicole's death.
2) He cut it at Nicole's house a week before and then
he said the night of the recital he cut it.
3) He said he couldn't remember how he cut himself.
So you're saying that this attorney isn't all that upset because he's receiving money because of Nifong?
By the way, do you know who he's representing?
It's neither Finnerty nor Seligmann. It must be the guy with the mustache.
see my 475
If we believe the photo times and the AV was put into the car at 12:41... what were they doing until 12:53 and why was Kim out of the car again when the cab driver drove up... I think she called after she left..
Why is no one reporting the info on the 98 report by the AV where she reported to Police that her husband was planning to take her into the woods and kill her. ON Abrams (S. Filan) said it was in a report that this was a FALSE ALLEGATION.
This is major stuff,, have you guys seen it in the media?
I have said that (theory here) the players had left and locked the women out of the house. There are reports the women were locked out of the house.
I think the women were trying to get back in for their pocketbook, cell phone, etc. Crystal needed her cell phone to call for a ride, possibily.
Remember, Kim says in a 911 call. We were walking by - now I'm driving by - and then I'm SITTING right in front looking at it now.
The girls were upset they couldn't get in and they probably tried to enter (as reported) and then may have drove by to see if the players reappeared. When it was apparent Kim was stuck with Crystal, in anger, she calls 911.
Simpson was guilty. That was a shame what that jury decided.
A fellow flight attendant told me that when she was working one of the football charters, after the steaks, potatoes, etc., were eaten, they had to walk down the aisle with a basket and offer fruit to the players. OJ was sitting at a window seat. When she asked him, he said, "I want a banana."
She replied, "I'm sorry. We don't have any."
He said, "I want a banana, you f...in' bitch!"
Then he lunged at her until one of the other players pushed him back down in his seat.
She said she was so frightened, she went back in the galley and cried.
I saw it on H&C, but only caught the tail end. I think Abrams may have had it too. I missed a lot today. I was at a lacrosse game!
This is what I'm talking about. This is the raw deal the players will get. Nancy Grace has THREE guests on her show saying the ATM time may be off. They are TOTALLY disregarding the 6 calls placed by Reide Seligemann, Taxi Driver testimony, and another individual that was with Seligemann the entire time.
Nancy says this could've happened in moments (the Gang-Rape)- so it was the most heineous crime on earth six weeks ago. Now, it could've been very quick (moments)!!
This is further tainting the Jury Pool. The alleged victim is NOT held to one statement. NOT ONE of her statements.
Just like the broom she never mentioned.
hugging the guy just cut off the paycheck...
I believe it and don't forget Nicole Simpson had told police (in a 911 call) and in her diary that Simpson would kill her one day.
What did we hear back then,,, didn't Cochrane tell the Jury to send a message. Didn't he mention how Black people are treated in the Justice system?
In other words - Payback.
