Every member of Duke University's men's lacrosse team is a potential witness in the case against three players charged with rape, Durham's lead prosecutor said Monday while arguing for access to their student ID card records. "We want to be able to confirm what they tell us about where they went afterward," District Attorney Mike Nifong said of the uncharged players.

Titus also formally reaffirmed the state's rules governing trial publicity and disclosure of information to the public and the media. The order does not prevent attorneys in the case from talking publicly, but does prohibit statements that have a "substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing" the case. "The rules of professional responsibility require us to be very careful of what we say," said Wade Smith, one of Finnerty's attorneys. "We'll do that. We've been doing that. And we'll continue to do that."

I just read the Vanity Fair article about this case from the July issue.
Don't bother with it; it REEKS of misinformation and the author obviously has a problem with rich people.
Did the N & O blow the margins on the LAX blogs on purpose?
New stuff
Duke Case: Truth is putting on its shoes

Will the Duke Three Be Mike Nifong's Sacrificial Lambs

Well, all these people are going to have to eat crow when the facts finally come out.
Of course, don't expect any of them to be apologizing.
But take this opportunity to write to vanity fair's letters section (if they have one) and succintly (and NICELY) give them a few of the facts to consider--like maybe the focus shouldn't be on the sins of the rich, but on the sins of a crooked judicial system run wild.
There's a real STORY out there for them, if any of them are real journalists. . .
Any way to link or post the article, Howlin? We need to know our enemies, as much as it pains us to read their crap...
No, it's in the magazine!
Missed this one yesterday, for some reason...

"Yeah, I have never seen a system where everyone in an entire state seems afraid of a local DA?"
Maybe they're all dirty and Nifong has the goods on them?
Thanks for those links and for keeping the ball rolling.
Okay I confess...once again I deleted the obit for Travis' mother. Dare I ask again?
Puppy dog look aimed at all :-)
Don't recall this one. Another freeper's gonna have to pull this one up...
Well, don't that put the dink in coinkydink. ;)
Someone pointed out to Ms. Sill the blown margins on the N&O LAX blogs?
Imagine that, LOL!
How completely asinine of Ms. Sill and her ilk, blowing the LAX blog margins. I guess the N & O editor values free speech when it agrees with her point of view.
Also another tidbit of information that might interest you. One of Nifong's district attorneys has a page on myspace. Nice looking chap, but the interesting thing is that he graduated from Hillside High in 96. Wonder if he knows Crystal?

C. Destine Couch District Attorney (he is in the back row).
That myspace.com page is interesting. I'm pinging it. Reckon he could be one of the "business advisors" for some of the "businesswomen" of Durham?
Pinging the DukeLax List. Check out webpage of one of Nifong's ADA's...

Well now, there's a WTF moment.
"Come get some!"
Great find!
2,008 friends? Many look like hookers, IMHO.
This needs to be pinged and moved. Send it to all the blogs you can think of....
