I was just thinking the same thing. Who does Nifong have to call as witnesses?

A rookie SANE nurse
The hooking, embezzling, bird-flipping Kim/Nikki
Jakki, transvestite and strip club manager?
Dear ol' Dad with yet another tale to tell
The Driver, was his DNA found in the AV?
The regular Driver/Pimp, was his DNA found in the AV?
The Private DNA lab, anyone find out if Nifong's brother-in-law works for the lab?
The racist, intimidating supervising DPD investigator Gottlieb
A rookie lead investigator Himan
The DPP "check on the young 'uns" first responders

Then there is Why Didn't You Call 911 Bissey.


Yessiree ... pass the popcorn!

Oops ... make that Hinman. LOL

To a Durham jury raised on Jerry Springer, all these people are perfectly credible.

Excellent list!

And we can't forget the lovely victim herself. The I was raped, wasn't raped, was raped, forget how many because I was drunk , wasn't drunk , wanted more money "escort".

No one could make this up!

Precious needs to be at the top of the list. The defense attorneys need to be prepared to have her identify all of her aliases. Pleasure Ryde might be hard to explain on the witness stand.

Who Nifong will present as:

1. a hard working unbiased health care worker who believes Mangum was raped.

2. a hard working young mother doing what she has to do to make restitution and who in all the taunting and acrimony that night did not notice that Mangum disappeared for a while, but did later remember and "heard" what probably was the rape going on.

3. a nobody. Jakki will not be called.

4. an upset relative, except of course Dad won't be called either.

5. as a bum who did not stay and protect Mangum, if he is called at all.

6. a nobody. The "boyfriend" will not be called.

7. a dispassonate scientist who found a partial DNA match.

8. the type of cop that poor Mangum had to deal with to get her case even heard. This may elicit sympathy for Mangum.

9. as the earnest young good guy cop who tied up this case.

10. as concerned police officers who misheard Mangums story in the fog of the events of the night.

11. as the concerned neighbor and good guy white Durmite compared to the evil yankee defendents who did not call 911 because he say the women did manage to get out of there.

If this mess gets to trial, Nifong is going to try to win as he should. He is going to present the best case he can and keep the roughness of the Mangum crowd from the jury as much as he can.

That is why since Nifong and everyone who has followed this case knows these guys are not guilty, this should not be allowed to go to trial.
