And were the defense wrong about injuries and injuries noted in the missing SANE report pages, they would have been quickly leaked to the press by Nifong's office.
Also, everything positive for Nifong had to be in the discovery package or he risks having the judge not allow it in evidence. So what was omitted likely helps the defense.
I think you are right.
Nifong could also bust them up in his responses to the Motions - ensuring he countered with damaging info in the Motion response, which will go public.
Thanks
Yes, of course.
I eagerly await Nifong's responding papers.
Nifong set the tone of non-communication with the defense early on by refusing to hear them out and view their exculpatory evidence. So now most everything is going to be done through court processes, opening the information up to public review, which is not a good position for the DA to have taken or to be in now. Further, the judge may tire of it and begin to sanction Nifong.
