Interesting comment by HarleyinVT on abc11 re: swipe cards
... Nifong needs to know the alibi evidence of Finnerty, though he could have had it voluntarily. Now he has to wait for the trial and look like a fool. Nifong has lost the ability to change the timelines - the cell phone records give an accurate indication as to when Precious arrived. ...

I agree with that. I think the main purpose of this fishing expedition was to try to find out info about Finnerty's alibi. Nifong needs that info so he can construct his timeline around it.
