I found this from a post on a previous thread. The URL - http://www.heraldsun.com/durham/4-737491.html - has expired:

Nifong declined to comment to The Herald-Sun.

But he told WRAL: "If there was a toxicology report available, it would've been included in the discovery I handed over to the defense."

what's the date on that quote, ken? maybe we can find it elsewhere.

What exactly did Nifong say in court about it? I could swear he said something about a tox report.

"If there was a toxicology report available, it would've been included in the discovery I handed over to the defense."

I remember we talked about the wording at the time. So bubba like.

Nifong should not even try to emulate the parse-master.

Nifong may have been trying to keep it as part of a probation violation case against Mangum by claiming no report was "available". Weasel words. If the test was done at Durham Access where she was taken for committment as a result of her behavior and the condition she was in rather than at Duke for the rape, Nifong could make that argument. It's not wholly irrational. Obviously, if the test result was negative for date-rape drungs and positive for other drugs, that would be damaging to Nifong's "case".
