By the way if anyone wants some interesting reading concerning this case, go to the Chronicle archives starting with the March 20 paper.
Nothing more than is in the papers.
Thanks, VN.
Sac, ping to 154.
ROTFLMAO!
Oh, I see you're here already!
That's the way the Grand Jury works!
I am finding out a lot of stuff abuot NC Courts that is less than impressive.
I did not know that there are no pre-trial hearings and that there is no right to a speedy trial in North Carolina.
I just found this:

Oh, me, too. It's about time for sanity to reign.
If I wake up Tuesday morning to another indictment, I'm really going to start wondering what is wrong over in Durham.
K Street? Are you talking about Bob Bennett?
Thanks Howlin...I'll go back and try and find the site I saw yesterday. It was very easy to comprehend and referenced FBI standards.
I keep holding out hope that the people in Durham will get in sync with the rest of this state.
Maybe I just don't have a clue how the Durhamites think.
Everyone assumes tissue means human tissue, from what I've seen of the reports.
Translated, they are saying they have human flesh (squaring with her story that she scratched someone) and have matched (or maybe not, according to accepted standards of matching. ? ) it to one of the guys not yet indicted but expected to be indicted soon. If it was just some DNA, but not a piece of human flesh, it could easily be that the DNA was picked up by the fingernail while it was in the bathroom trashcan.
They would never get away with using the term tissue for what was actually nothing more than the fake nail sticky part...not in court anyway and probably not even in the Media.
Since I don't trust Nifong, I am questioning everything he leaks to the Media. The Defense seems to have gotten quiet. Wonder what the lawyer for the soon-to-be-indicted (?) player will have to say, if anything?
I wonder how much turning a blind eye to Nifong and the Durham PD investigation is a result of a town perenially deemed inferior to its wealthier Raleigh/Chapel Hill neighbors, just as NCCU is obviously inferior to Duke?
I different community with more to be proud of wouldn't have circled its wagons around a flawed accuser, an unethical DA, and an incompetnet PD.
I wonder if the nails in the trash can even belong to the AV? Maybe they are from the 3rd guy's girlfriend?
Does anybody have a bookmark or a link to the thread where we watched the Defense press conference where they talked about the first DNA results?
I am positive I posted word for word what they said about this "material" but I cannot find it.
For what Bob Bennett gets paid, he must be doing something more than just watch the process.
