Ok - now: Shocking allegations that Nifong deliberately hid evidence.
None of the DNA from the numerous males found in or on accuser matched any of the Duke Lacrosse players. Found out that the reason this happened is that Niefong and Meehan met and decided that they would ONLY report what was a match and NOT REPORT the DNA that was there that did not match - or in other words - they would DENY the defense exculpatory evidence.
Is this a bombshell?
Woody Vann Defense attorney in Durham - fact that there were additional samples there says it remains to be seen if this is relevant at all....bears some weight ....but don't think it bears as much weight as some people think it does.
Greta: Bernie Grimm - it's big this is not coming out now....of no moment of this case.....
Great - fingernail found had one of the players possible DNA on it - defense theory is that DNA easily can be transferred. IN the hearing today, the scientist himself said that some of his own DNA was found on one of the specimens. Ted: that is a bombshell - re: the fingernail in the garbage can being contaminated by the Duke players. That is the ONLY source of POSSIBLE matching DNA in all the material gathered in this case.
Greta: The Identification procedure being tossed out - means accuser cannot ID the people in court - she ID's people who were not at the party / everything is wrong with this case, Greta......
Woman attorney - it is not only disturbing that Nifong agreed with the lab guy to NOT REPORT THE DNA reports - this is downright dishonest, outrageous conduct that should be subject of an investigation itself.
Greta: Is claiming Nifong did not ask Meehan not to report it - but NIfong DID say to Meehan only to report the DNA that matched. That is just as bad.
Attorney talking now: Says this is a conspiracy to obstruct justice.....this DA should be looked at being taken off the case. (HA - he should be looked at as committing judicial misconduct and be disbarred and jailed!!!)
Lisa Bloom Court TV News Anchor.....is saying basically the same thing - outrageous, etc.
Nifong is saying he has never interviewed the accuser.
DA is not going to toss it out.
Case really seems to be falling apart day by day.
(There was no case to begin with - which you would know if you noonies had been paying attention.)
