..but if I'm reading you correctly, you're saying there's a mysterious puppet master pulling everyone's strings in order to get a conviction for these young men?
Or did I misunderstand you?
Also, I'm unclear what David Allen is saying?.....Are you suggesting she will start a civil suit?....how can she do this when it strongly looks like she can't win in criminal court?
OK, let me think this through....
..OJ was acquitted ...but the victim's relatives won in civil court....
..but OJ was guilty....
..these young men aren't.
Sorry...I'm as confused as I sound :(
I am suggesting that the players could initiate civil lawsuits in their home communities against Crystal and others who have maliciously destroyed their reputations. By doing so, you might be able to get a favorable local judge who would give you a chance to have a hearing in which you could take the deposition of Crystal on an expedited basis.
That would force the DA to try to get it stopped, and the player's lawyers could use that to put Nifong's conduct on trial.
You have to take Nifong and Crystal out of the inbred confines of the Durham "justice" system. Her phone probably disappeared because someone wanted it gone.
I can only speak for me.
I was saying, to me, it's pretty apparent that Brian Taylor's interview with the N&O was orchestrated due to the highly unusual interview and with questions central to the case apparently not even asked. How does that happen? When someone sets the guidelines up front for an interview and when someone is controlling the interview. Was the N&O reporter happy to have this interview with strict limitations because Brian Taylor's whereabouts are unknown and he was "delivered" to an interview (his first & only). The trade off for the reporter was getting the story, even if boxed in. That's the reasoning.
Then Crystal was interviewed by this same REPORTER, in her first and only interview given (N&O), 3/25/06. An N&O editor stated that only portions of that interview with Crystal were published: those consistent with the police report.
NOT a puppet master pulling strings, but a greedy lawyer with exclusive access to the witnesses critical to Crystal's personal and professional life on the weekend preceeding this reported gang-rape. Witnesses that have been unusually quiet and hidden in a case that has attracted so much media attention.
Either these drivers and strippers are very media savvy and policitically adept or someone has been advising them, IMO.
I was using exaggeration to make a point too, to a degree.
