Tell them you cancelled your reservations in Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, South Nags Head, Manteo, or Hatteras. The state charges 7% tax on vacation rentals. With a four bedroom going for $3000+/week that's a chunk of change. The highway between points north and Duck (transplanted vacationing Beltway types)has a 25-35mph speed limit on open road. Their entire income must rest on those tickets.

Just when I think Nifong can go no farther, he does it again. How in the world could the cab driver be responsible for what his fares did inside the mall? Is the DA trying to show he really is balanced after all because he had a black man arrested and held in jail for 5 hours?

The jerk who thinks it funny that this same black man must earn a living driving a cab instead of spending time w/HIM should be laughed out of his own occupation?

'Think it would do any good to call the DA's office as well as the governor's?

I would also like to see the News&Observer highlight this intimidation of a witness AND quote the law which has apparently been ignored.

In the interest of the almighty diversity, what about a feature story on the cab driver and the ramifications of Nifong's action on his life? Would the Durham blacks go to bat for their black brother and show their displeasure to the DA?

"Nifong, appointed DA by Gov. Easley ..."

Yikes, I had forgotten that Easley had appointed Nifong when I talked with the lady at the governor's office. She mentioned that a number of people had called. We've added some excitement to her afternoon.

Now I'm wondering if the Durham Chamber of Commerce or the Duke admissions office is getting phone calls. I've been getting tired of calling the White House about illegal immigration. LOL

I am not too surprised Nifong would this. He has set new lows for prosecutorial misconduct.

Biden was just on FNC and said that having found "tissue" under the fingernails is more significant than just DNA because tissue indicates a scratching.

We'll see; I'm doubtful because Nifong has put off sharing discovery on Monday (I think I read) and there's no reason to do that if he really has something).

Also, a player could have easily grabbed her arm to force her to leave.

Sgt: Ok, so he was not the person who assaulted you. Do you remember what he was doing at the party?

CM: He was standing outside talking to the other dancer.

Kim now says " the rape " occurred when she was outside.
So, how would CM know who Kim was talking to outside ? Because at that moment -she was supposedly inside the bathroom, fending off 20 lacrosse players and a broomstick.
Maybe she's a great multitasker-gazing out the window while she's simultaneously in a choke hold , forcibly servicing Seligman and being sodomized by Finnerty and Pancho .
And also applying nail polish.
Sounds like a David Blaine stunt.

I bet you meant Dr. Baden, but it wouldn't surprise me if Biden popped in to opine ... only no one else would have time to speak.

OMG--for a minute I thought you meant Senator Biden, :>)

OT--I'm staying over here in chat--the bash Bush threads are really getting to me.

Maybe someone can help--would the fingernails appear differently if they had been scratched or yanked off as opposed to her polishing them before putting them on? I guess I'm asking if we know the condition of the nails?

Secondly, aren't there photos of her without the nails?

______________

Who is Biden?

I thought the article clearly states there was no tissue, and it was not a match, just "consistant with"

According to the ABC article posted several posts back, the defense team says this result is still considering "inconclusive" and that saying it's a match is misleading.

FNS is a joke anymore with their so-called commentators on this case.

Watch Abrams, he is the only one who will have the facts on this news story.

I sincerely believe this case, which has so absorbed me, has saved my sanity. It's allowed me to take a sabbatical from politics and the endless inane analysis of the latest poll numbers.

Where the boys' bodies photographed when they gave the DNA the first time?

" Biden was just on FNC and said that having found "tissue" under the fingernails "

I've been hearing this all morning.
These are not fingernails or even acrylic nails-but, press on nails.
The press on nails fit directly on top of the actual nail and don't have an under area, in the sense that a real nail would.
A more correct term would be on the front side or back side of the press on nail.
How could DNA be on the press on nail and yet, not actually under CM's nail beds ?
The slightest pressure can remove a press on nail .
Logically, in a life and death struggle , the press on flies off immediately and the real nail gouges out DNA .
Hmmmm...

I do not know. I would think so, considering that is her story.

I tried press on nails once. They came off every 2 minutes. They fell off if I breathed on them. It was a ridiculous waste of time. I don't think you could scratch anyone with a press on nail. She probably dropped it and someone picked it up. Too bad he didn't flush it but instead dropped it in the trash where god knows whose DNA was in there. I'm actually sorta impressed by these guys even having a trash can in the bathroom. Back in my day, in the team/frat occupied houses off east campus the level of hygiene was far below 3rd world ghettos. Unless they have a maid there could be DNA from the last owner in there.

I would think that Nifong would be talking about scratch marks if he had them. Now, its late and the scratches would have healed.
