I have mixed feelings about Gottlieb's being involved in this. It's bad for DPD, but what if his duke report turns out to be favorable to the defense? This could taint it bad.

Can't hurt the Defense at all - throw it out or taint evidence - and a lack of evidence exists. Lack of evidence is almost as good.

And why is his report taking longer than some wars?

Gottlieb - LEAD INVESTIGATOR (and that's not lead like in the Durham water). SUPERVISOR of all the others.

Clayton - His buddy and sub-ordinate.

Himan - Reports to Gottlieb and has in total like 4 years experience. I read somewhere that Gottlieb is his Mentor.

Linwood Wilson - Guy has history of bad decisions and either is schitzophrenic or a corrupt liar.

The entire Defense strategy shifted on Friday, IMO.

I certainly agree a bit. But on balance this is more pressure on Nifong.
