Power corrupts. How unprofessional, vindictive, and evil this Nifong seems to be.
Is Durham that black that hanging a few white kids will ensure Nifong has a lifelong government job/pension? Either that or this is the beginning of White Backlash, i.e. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' with the races reversed.
Nifong indeed laughed at Seiligman's lawyer. Very arrogant, but also from what we know, very realistic. Nifong seems to know this trial is a long way from beginning.
Seligman's lawyer seems very worried the police will "lose" important evidence. Nifong said he doesn't have the "victim's cell phone", the police have it. Seligmn's lawyer is very worried about that phone being tampered with. We've all seen enough Law and Orders to know the cops and the DA work together to thwart the defense. "Hide the phone" scam = yeah, stuff like this happens.
Something I didn't know. This phone, and her purse, as well as the fake fingernails were turned over to the cops when they came asking questions. The alleged victim left the phone and purse on the ground in the yard.
Nifong turned over 1200 pages of evidence, CDRoms, tape, etc., to the defense. The Court TV reporter was surprised by this, but at this point we don't know if this is a useless document dump or not, with Nifong with holding anything really important. For certain, Nifong didn't turn over anything exculpatory.
Seligman looks like a baby sitting there. Very clean cut, ver young.
Note to Nifong's voters: Hope you folks are proud of yourselves. You picked a real winner there, all right.
SNORT.
I hope that they go after Nifong after this whole travesty is over. I hope the accused players file false prosecution charges, at the very least.
Reminds me of Wendy Murphy, too. Isn't she billed as a former prosecutor?
Last Friday Murphy could hardly contain her glee as she "bet" (based on her contacts inside Nifong's office, presumably) that a lacrosse player named "Dan" would be indicted the following Monday.
Wendy sorta lost that bet. It turned out to be a David, not a Dan, who was indicted.
But she did get her malicious wish, didn't she? --that yet another lacrosse player and his family would now be put through absolute Hell.
God save us from these ideology- and ambition-driven prosectors...
