Nifong had submitted a request to the court to subpoena the home addresses of all 47 players.

Are the cops in Durham so inept that they can't get the addresses themselves? Nifong is wasting paper and the courts time as usual.

True. I didn't even think of that.

Maybe Nifong has the Cops in such hot water already, that he'd rather hand them the list and give them a paid trip out of Durham to look up some of these guys. Even give them money to wine and dine players in case someone takes them up on the offer.

If Nifong wins on the issue of the subpoena for the addresses, each person whose address was subpoenaed should have a tape recorder at the ready to switch on if he's approached by anybody who brings up the case. All they have to say is, "You don't mind if I record this, do you?" if that guy lives in a two-party state. It works wonders. If he's in a one-party state, he can just go ahead and record it without the other party knowing. That works even better. :>

IMO, the reason for a subpoena instead of the cops doing it the normal way is to try to intimidate the other players. Let them know big old Ninutso is watching.
