When all of Nifong's actions are viewed objectively, the only logical conclusion which can be drawn is this one:

He wanted to avoid getting any evidence which might be exculpatory, particularly before he got his indictments.

He wanted to avoid getting any evidence which might be exculpatory, particularly before he got his indictments.

Exactly. I don't see how one can conclude otherwise?

BTW, let me add:

1a. Other many of the woman here quickly noted, after Mangum dropped the cell phone that night and apparently did not miss it right away, she was so tramatized by being brutally raped that she or someone thought to have the service terminated the next day.

It seems to be a very revealing cell phone?
