Didn't check the chat room over the weekend -- spent a wonderful first weekend back home (summer break) with son, a gift I am more and more grateful to have been given as each day passes. Am I understanding from the thread there's a chance a judge will throw out the photographs taken???

What can be done to exonerate these young men if that were to happen? Surely, surely, there has to be a way. How can this injustice continue. In our situation, I know, as the months passed, we kept saying surely someone is going to "snap out of it" and see that it's a scam but, sadly, there were no magic smelling salts.

I made the statement (not the judge) that I was worried about the admissibility of the electronic photographs. We've been off on a tangent jawing about it since. No actual new developments on that front or, for that matter, on any other that I recall.

Nifong is bound to try and discredit the photos. He will have to make the attempt.

The boy's lawyers knew this the moment they first got the pictures. I am sure they are ready for any argument Nifong tries.

The battle would happen anyway, no matter what.

Nifong has a lot more problems than just some photos, anyway. Photos he didn't want to see, remember.

I don't think Nifong has any real evidence whatsoever except CGM's word. If he had anything big, he'd have trumpeted it all over by now.

His inexperience is causing him to think he has great evidence in things like the SANE report, and the almost but not quite DNA on the fingernail, but more experienced lawyers will school him on that.

It is his inexperience that is showing in his failure to look at the photos, failure to examine the phone, his claim that the DNA would reveal the attackers, etc.

This is all inexperience showing.

He hasn't got a clue how to run this thing, and it shows.

It will really show in court, I hope.
