I'm sure that the defense has stopped talking to the Raleigh New and Observer because of their biased and prosecutorial treatment of the story. I got in a discussion with Melanie Sill on her blog about the N&O not reporting that Crystal/Kim were said to have uttered the first racial slurs even though it was reported in the Durham Herald Sun. The DHS sourced the story as "according to defense attorneys" but Sill said that the N&O rarely uses "anonymous sources". Of course if you look at their early reporting on this story they did just that including the Easter Sunday piece on mother-of-the-year Crystal. My conclusion is that the defense has stopped talking to the N&O and they are forced to wait for the presser like the rest of us.
The News and Observer reporting has been outrageous.
I don't know how that article on the Driver gets past an editor. Then the title is obviously what the prosecution wanted to get out as the story - "accuser seemed OK early on, driver says".
The news was the dancer's whereabouts prior to the party was revealed for the first time and one of her drivers was Identified.
At this point, the News and Observer's coverage is indefensible.
