Wasn't there some issue earlier in the day where she knocked Brian's (or one of her drivers/boyfriend/pimp/whatever) phone into some water? If so, she may have loaned him her phone and then borrowed another one from one of the other guys just to use while she did that night's gigs.
Could be, but more likely it's a vice squad operation that the chief knows or recently learned about.
Some Talking head lawyer said that (maybe its a NC thing) the Judge will not rule on dismissal until after the state has presented its case.
There was nothing unusual or unreasonable about Judge Stephens wanting to review and redact irrelevant calls from a phone belonging to somebody not (technically) involved in the case.
Entirely logical.
] That would assume that Durham Police Department actually wanted to stop the prostitution. That is too far reaching for me. I think they are in it all the way to their earlobes.
That's how I remember it, too. Nifong didn't want to cooperate and seemed to think he didn't have to because the records weren't discoverable because he had not received them from DPD - they were in possession of DPD. Judge Stephens deemed them discoverable and only wanted to make sure that calls not made during the time periods the defense was requesting weren't released because the phone belonged to a third party.
She spilled a drink on his phone.
That does not fit with Jarriel Johnsons statement.
She spilled on his phone - he got angry and took her home. He said later, when his phone was NOT working, he called her and told her that he could NOT drive her.
I think he got mad again when the phone wouldnt work.
I have to disagree. Judge Stephens' handling of the phone records matter was reasonable.
That makes sense. It makes sense of the "advice" we got. It it had proceeded to trial, it would have been dismissed, therefore, placed on back burner for two years. I get it now.
If the AV had more than one cell phone it makes a difference. She may have placed other calls to the Bunny Hole, Angels, Allure, etc., during the supposed time of the rape. No call to her driver??? Only one call to another service, Centerfold, doesn't make sense.
I am also wondering if the AV made personal and "business" calls on the same phone.
So am I, and if your phone number was on a list of calls made to or from a pimp days or weeks before the event in question, you wouldn't want it released either. Suppose you're a car salesman or a realtor and the pimp contacted you about his interest in a house or car? Your phone number shows up on his cell phone call registry three days before the rape. That gets released to the public. Let's say the pimp didn't follow through and buy from you, so you have no paperwork showing a transaction to justify the phone call.
Now, explain that to your wife and kids.
He's waiting to see how much support for Nifong wanes. He's got time yet to decide. If this case calms down, he'll probably run. But if it becomes more racial, he probably won't because he knows Nifong will get almost the entire black vote. If the case gets dismissed, he'll probably run because he'll smell Nifong's blood in the water.
LOL! Make that "mortar"!
I worked vice for seven years.
BTW, that was supposed to be "mortar", lol, not "motor"!
Perhaps they use their work addresses for their voter registration.
It was probably in the search warrant list of items sought.
Nifong can dismiss under prosecutorial discretion anytime he wants to.
Quite right.
