The prosecutor's office or police collected evidence on Elmostafa that included his insurance and driving history, several years' worth of drug tests -- all of which were negative -- and a criminal record check.
This is incredible.
Next Nifong will issue a subpoena for the ATM machine manufacturers because surely the rich daddies paid them off to take those time stamped photos (/sarc).
These two paragraphs also have some interesting information.
Linwood Wilson, an investigator in Nifong's office, said Monday that he discovered the warrant when he ran a routine criminal background check on Elmostafa, the type of check he does for all victims and witnesses the prosecutor's office handles. Wilson said he told Nifong about the warrant, and Nifong told him that the office policy was to serve it.
Wilson said he told two detectives working the lacrosse case about the warrant, and Investigator R.D. Clayton arrested Elmostafa on May 10. He was released from the Durham County jail on $700 bail. According to notes taken by Investigator Benjamin Himan, Wilson said that Nifong wanted to be told when the taxi driver was arrested.
Maybe this is why they were unable to find out how much restitution Kim paid (hard counting to zero), they were too busy trying to find something, anything on the poor cab driver. We already no that they can't do 2 things at the same time (gang violence or duke hooligans)
