Do you think the pollster may have been fishing for inside dope and knew who she was talking to? I wonder if Mrs Gottlieb was polled?
"Your Honor, it was a random sample. Who would have thought we would have sampled the households of the two leading conspirators. I am amazed and shocked. We will of course ignore their self serving responses and just focus on the possible lies their two spouses told." "Yes, as a matter of fact the accuser was also surprisingly in our scientifically drawn random sample." "No, your Honor, we are not prepared to share what she said with Mr. Nifong. We will wait until the trial." "Yes, your Honor, she was told that her responses were being recorded." "Your Honor, for the record, Judges Stevens and Titus, declined to answer any of our pollsters questions." "No, your Honor, we cannot include you in the sample because it would no longer be a random sample!" "No your Honor it wasn't a sample of possible members of the jury, it was a random sample of proven liars!!"
There were issues with the polling done in the Scott Peterson case. College students who conducted the poll, course requirement, made up results. Do we know who conducted the polling in the Duke LAX case?
As for Mrs. Nifong, I can picture her asking questions of her own ... with her husband on the extension.
Was it taped?
