[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Maggief, I am so glad you posted those RUMOR ALERTS!
LOL! I thought about it and forgot about them.

Somewhere in the abc11 board someone asked why didn't the attorneys give the information to the local papers instead of one in Wilmington.

I thought it was for 1 of 2 reasons:
1. Defense is sick of local media
2. Local media turned it down.

I am wondering what could be more devastating for av than what we already know.

PBR, the FA is complicit in this farce to be sure. But the real criminals are local LE and the DA who used her accusation for political purposes.

If I were omnipotent here, Nifong would spend much more time in jail than Crystial Mangum...

[I want to know]

You had asked in a previous thread whether anyone knows what the AV looks like in order to make a comparison with the picture links you had found. If anyone lives in Durham County, they can go to the main library branch and look at her 1996 yearbook picture in the Hornet (Hillside High) yearbook (that is assuming they haven't been thrown away or her picture blanked out).

Her 1996 graduation photo from Hillside High School shows a girl with shoulder-length braids and a placid expression, neither serious nor smiling. In the space where other seniors included their hopes for the future, hers is blank.

Of course, you would be comparing a picture 10 years old against ones that are current.
