Sgt. Shelton wrote in his report that Kim told him that night at Kroger she made the first 911 call. Nifong was lying to Abrams.
Are you absolutely sure?
That report from Shelton was written with the benefit of hindsight when it written belatedly. They didn't even know her name was Kim Roberts that night.
Shelton may have included things they became aware of later in his report (just like Robert's name).
Durham Police Spokesman Michael said in numerous press conferences that they didn't know the identity of the first 911 caller. They placed ads in the Durham papers and broadcast through locals news requests for the first 911 caller to come forward. Nifong believed the first call was independent corroboration of the wilding of the boys that night.
Double check on that.
The fact that Kim made the call was also mentioned in the collection of dispatch tape released.
Yes, Nifong lied, or had the information available and spoke before reviewing information he knew was available, which seems to be his M.O..
