I have seen over 3 reports stating in North Carolina it is standard procedure to do a TOX test when a rape kit is taken.
It is standard.
She had the right to decline, and she did.
Her actions are that of a criminal, from using some else's cell phone to canceling the service before the crime was investigated. To her girlfriend lying on a 911 call and then lying again to a security guard while the guard placed the second call.
The question is will it mean anything to that jury? I'm sure no one expects Nifong to change course. That should be apparent to all at this point.
Do you have links to any of those reports? Dr. Kobilinsky, the "expert" on the Abrams Report panel today, said it would not be unusual. At the very least, I would think it would be standard if there were even the slightest hint of intoxication.
I must say, every time I see this "expert", he seems to shade his answers in favor of Nifong's case.
Frankly, it depends on the racial make-up and character of the jurors.
Nifong is as big a criminal as Mangum is, imo.
