One of the attorneys for the team said this morning that after he saw the "evidence" that the district attorney provided to the GJ he just couldn't believe that they were charged. He used the word "stunned."

Well, if he's that dumb, he's a candidate for the darwin award. The world don't need people like that to breed any offspring...

Thanks, I guess I have known it as false imprisonment. This girl, IMHO, was not kidnapped by the ordinary meaning of the word.

That's not the original police report.

" Well...swelling and pain/soreness but no DNA suggests "

Has it been determined that swelling a/o pain was the description ?
Because it's consistent with a number of medical conditions that can cause the same symptoms - STDs, herpes, vaginitis, yeast infections, cyclical changes and allergic reactions.
Nifong may have seen the report of redness and immediately concluded trauma and rape because it fit his template.

I don't know about in NC, but in Virginia the charge is "false imprisonment" and it is generally used in domestic abuse cases.

That's what Nifong said on Rita Cosby's show.

What's the story on Freda Black--does she stand a chance to win? Watched her in the Peterson-East trial and she did OK after a few initial blunders.

All dressed up and under the cover of darkness. I surmise she wanted them dragged downtown in their pajamas...

If your attorney has arranged the surrender and bail has been predetermined, then it's perfectly reasonable to show up with a cashier's check to post it with.

I have no idea whether she can win or not. I sure like her though.

She came right out yesterday and said that as long as she'd been in Durham County she's never seen anything handled like this; she said they usually arrest them and then go to the Grand Jury.

When Easley appointed Nifong, one of the first things he did was take her special parking place away from her that Jim Hardin had given her because she was trying all the rape and murder trials and it was for her safety.

When she complained, he fired her.

If I am not mistaken, this is the first trial he has tried since he got appointed.

She wanted the orange jumpsuit and chains and a night in jail; she even suggested they could go pick them up on a Saturday night when their lawyers were out to dinner.

Thanks, I just tuned in and saw some of it. That woman is just crazy - I mean that in a serious way - she is seriously deranged. If harboring intense internal hate is a detriment to one's health then I don't see her making it past 50.

She just loves to see men humiliated. "Ah there is the orange jumpsuit we all know and love."

I imagine that either the arrest was coordinated through the defense, prosecution and judge or they just slept in nice clothes. No big mystery there. Is Nancy Grace just that dumb or just that dishonest?

I am not surprised. Do you remember me saying that the local race whores and possibly Jackasson's people would be running these guys' families through Lexis-Nexis and whatever other deatabases they have available to figure out which ones were rich, and then have Mangum memorize those names, and then the matching faces from the team roster?
