How HUGE is that?
Is there any report on what was in the material turned over by Nifung yesterday. Does it have any material that holdouts like Wendy Murphy suggest are out there in support.
That was also before the exculpatory evidence in the case became known. Now we have the ATM camera, the fast food receipts, the dorm ID card timestamps, the taxi driver, the mustache, the settlement lawyer, sex with boyfriend, etc., added to the mix. I'm just asking, would this be enough to taint Nifong if the people think he's ruining the lives of Duke students for his own personal gain?
People have to consider the economic impact to their county if Duke University loses enrollment over this. They already canceled their lacrosse season and the coach resigned. If parents send their children elsewhere, and donations to the school dwindle, all over this case, and it turns out to be a scam that Nifong elongated for his own career interests, then would the people still support him?

Hugh and series!!
the voters dont care about that. what he did resonated with enough of the population to win. unless it blows up completely (the stripper says Nifong coerced her into going forward) they will still love him. also, he has enought other favors out after thirty years to lock up another group. I just don't see it. Freda Black was a great candidate, a great trial lawyer who had shown a willingness to take on tough cases and she hates Nifong and ran hard against him. His play was cynical but effective.
Look at Nifong's base. They were probably too poor or ignorant to enjoy any benefit from a good local economy anyway. As far as the dem voter in Durham are concerned, the more Durham becomes a cesspool, the better for them. At least their poverty wouldn't show that much among neighbors.
This is such a boatload of crap! If these guys were as guilty as the DA says they are, then he would go ahead with a trial.
Good grief, if that is true then she has some serious difficulties holding on to reality. Perhaps she hadn't heard of DNA. To assert rape that would leave evidence and then there not be any -- and Nifong knew this! God, I hope there is one fully functioning, objective adult in the Durham judicial system to put an end to this.

Says there is no smoking gun in the report, and SANE rape exam consistent with what defense has been saying. And as noted in a prior post, accuser told SANE nurses that no condoms were used.
The ever hateful Georgia Goslee still shilling, saying the defense could not possibly know yet that there is no smoking gun due to the 1200+ pages. Then says the DA only turned over exculpatory evidence.
Gets slapped down by other panelsts on that claim. NC attorney on panel corrects her, citing NC law requiring he turn over everything.
I have no idea, but this is my best educated guess. Nifong delivered something to someone (i.e. indictment of rich, elite, white boys for raping a po po 'ho)
Who has been "in your face" since then? The NPB. They managed to have a face to face with Nifong (unless it has been proven to be a rumor).
Now how did that happen? Did they walk up to the 6th floor and simply knock on the door? No, someone had to bridge the gap.
It would have to be someone Nifong knew, someone important to the black community. someone with ties to Durham and Duke, someone familar with both sides of the coin. It could also be someone with historical ties to that area of the state. Someone who has the "respect" it takes to deliver votes.
It could be someone with a long involvement in race relations in that area, as far back as MLK and even as recent as the Greensboro shootout.
Nifong kept the first part of his bargain with the first 2 indictments. He needs to keep it up until November.
Only speculating...............
Goslee is still on the panel?
Anyway, sounds like riveting tv. Will watch rerun later.
Elsewhere I proposed that Duke "outsource" some of their jobs by bringing in people from outside Durham.
This was what the accuser told the nurse examiner, whose SANE report Nifong kept pointing to. According to what the defense told Galanter, the nurse asked specifically if her attackers wore condoms ... she said "NO".
Of course, Wendy will say "until I see with my own eyes ..."
Whoops
NPB should be NBP
(I hate it when that happens)
Does Duke have an in-state tuition program for illegals?

Can the SANE report be released to the public - assuming that personal identifying information is redacted?
So if I'm remembering right Nifong is on public record, after the first DNA test, saying that the reason that test failed to find lax team member DNA is that they could have worn condoms. All that time he had in his possession the SANE report in which Crystal said they didn't. I guess now he's going to claim that she could not have known that one way or the other.
