Wow, Abb. I hear the tinkling of silver bells...

No notes, sayeth Nifong? Hm. Did he even bother to look? Or even bother to meet with the young mens' attorneys in the early days? Nope.

Nifong ran with a "By Any Means Necessary" modus in charging innocents with rape, etc.

Is Nifong the local legal terrorist? So driven by his hidden Allah, that he must win at any cost?

[originalbuckeye]

Didn't Nifong just want to win the Dem primary to retain his job?

Twenty Questions

Today's N&O reveals the latest in the Durham Police's inexplicably shoddy investigation into the Duke lacrosse case. On March 14, police initially took the accuser to the Durham Access Center, where involuntary commitment loomed. Three people saw the accuser at the Access Center; one asked her if she had been raped; when she responded yes, this case took a new turn.

Mike Nifong long has claimed a single-page log sheet constitutes the only record of the accuser's 40-minute stay at the Center. A defense motion filed yesterday, however, asserts that at least one Access Center employee took handwritten notes of the accuser's arrival. No explanation exists as to why Nifong has not turned these notes over to the defense, as state law requires him to do.

Much more important, the defense motion contends that "months after the event" police hadn't interviewed any of the three Access Center employees who saw the accuser before she went to the hospital on March 14. It's hard to fathom an innocent explanation for this oversight:

The Islamics have studied and used the tactics developed and honed to a fine edge by American Jews and Blacks.

In America, even on Free Republic, mentioning the word Jew or Black produces howls of discrinination. Criticism, regardless of how minor is not allowed. Any descriptive that does not meet the PC style book currently in effect is pounced on.

Blame the American Jews and Blacks for the current mess. They created it by having thin skin.

I guess I am missing something here? The DA has not talked with the 3 center employees to this date, as reported. Does the DA even have possession of these notes? The DA has said there was only a log sheet from the center, so maybe they do not know about these notes, and therefore do not have them? The defense is the one who made the discovery of these notes, since they interviewed the employee. If this all true, then why ask the DA to produce something they do not have?

However, if the DA does have them, because this employee told the defense they were turned over to the DA, then the DA is in a big heap of trouble because a copy was to have been turned over to the defense months ago. I would hate to think what would happen if the DA destroyed these notes?

An indictment charging sexual assault has to be specific--in most places, at least. A sexual assault can consist of a number of different acts, and the Defendant is entitled to know what he is charged with. It will be interesting to see how Nifong responds to the motion for specific allegations. Since the AV cannot keep her story straight, the more the charges are specifically stated, the more contradiction there will be.

La Shawn Barber has discovered what she correctly describes as "jaw-dropping" information: in response to a voter information form, Mike Nifong listed as among his favorite novels To Kill a Mockingbird. The book revolves around a courageous Southern lawyer who defends an innocent man railroaded on a rape charge in an atmopshere inflamed by racial passions. (end excerpt)

Nifong says phone survey is being used to "taint" jury pool. Coincidence that the next hearing is Friday? Unbelievable!! The man's insane. When's he going to take the stand and testify under oath about all his lies?

Nifong affirmatively stated there were no records from Durham Access, yet there are. Can it be that he did not have inquiries made there because whatever happened or Mangum said while there would not be helpful to his case? So, when he said there were no records from the facility, once again it was a parsed spinning of the truth which is that HE has no records to turn over in discovery because HE did not seek any.
