I would love to be a fly on the wall of the Nifong abode for the next 24 hours. Do you think he will watch "60" tomorrow?
As far as who bears the brunt of responsibilty for this horror, I pick Mike.
jennyd was commenting that Crystal could have simply refused to identify anyone. I recall that there was some blog chatter about friends and/or relatives possibly finding themselves incarcerated during the time the various "id" sessions were held. If that was the case, it may have been a reason for her to "cooperate." (This is speculation on my part - I do not know for a fact that any of her people were, in fact, in jail.) But, in general, I do agree that Crystal is, most likely, a weak person. I don't think she has the capacity to think far enough ahead to realize that her actions have consequences; much less to have a viable understanding of just what those consequences might be.
Those arrest came away after the line ups, so I am not sure what it is you recall.
We know that Nifong likes to deal from the bottom of the deck. We saw that from the cab driver, the reinstating of trivial charges against LAX players (only to have some thrown out of court after trial), circumventing legal counsel, the lies, and on and on. There is little doubt that he threatened the FA unless she did what was instructed -- that is, pick a narrative and select any three players. The consequences of failing to comply were probably dire.
The bombshell thus far from Ed Bradley is that Kim blows the case out of the water. Bradley makes cryptic comments about how Nifong, DPD, and Duke all presumed guilt wrongly and proceeded in an arrogant manner on the presumption. Nifong and Brodhead should be very nervous tonight because one or both of them is going to the woodshed tomorrow, and it will have nothing to do with Kim.
By the way, Michael Gaynor posted on another Board that Part I of hte story airs tomorrow, but that Part II will air next week. Is that right?
I think he will watch it, then lie and say he didn't.
