Found the reference to Nelson:

Madrid case leads to lawyer in Oregon

Excerpt:

Nelson described Mayfield as a "very" moderate Muslim, like himself, who worships occasionally at the Bilal Mosque in Beaverton. He said Mayfield is not devout.

Then there is a song and dance distancing himself from how well he knew Mayfield before he got the call Thursday. Weird, after Nelson's first comments were how he was Mayfield's "friend and mentor".
