Photo array number 3, 4 April 2006:

Nifong says at the 11 April 2006 Forum at NCCU that he will take the case to the grand jury as soon as she IDs someone.

So Nifong had known for a week who she picked when he said this. Did the same investigators conduct all 3 ID lineups?

[Your scenario sounds right on the money]

Did the same investigators conduct all 3 ID lineups?

Little is known publicly about the 16 March photo array. The other too seem to have violated good procedure and maybe DPD policy by having investigators associated with the case conduct the photo arrays.

The reason to have different DPD personnel than those investigating the case conduct the photo arrays is to have it conducted by someone who knows little about the case so they can not intentionally or unintentionally cue the witness who to chose. This is the issue our "Mike Nifong" raised above.
