The panel on Abrams insisted that all he has to have is a jury that believes the hooker. But remember that the have to believe that they did it beyond a reasonable doubt while in the OJ case, for example, they had to think he DIDN'T do it beyond a reasonable doubt. Hopefully, they will either get a change of venue or, if they don't, the defense can assess the potential jury to a fair-the-well. Preemptive strikes!

change of venue.

That is the ticket. This is an easy case when it is removed from Durham. Remember there's a whole contingent in Durham attempting to prevent the Change of Venue. Wasn't that one of the Black Panthers demands?

Judge Stephens is elected. He has the same problem as Nifong. He is a white elected offical in a black city. He has to constantly prove his worth or he is out of a job. Judge Stephens is the same guy that said he wouldn't treat the is case any differently than any other (regardless of the evidence)!

Stephens and Nifong also know that as long as they take the side of the AV, the News Corspe will portray them as brave defenders of the downtrodden.

Maybe what needs to happen is what Sean Hannity has been calling for: the Feds to come and take over this investigation - take it away from the DDD (Dirty Durham District) control
