Meehan and Nifong are proffering the theory that DNA results are wholly irrelevant unless a direct match to a suspect/defendant. Of course, they did not bother to inform anyone of their novel theory that contradicts every legal principle in the book, and the defense was never supposed to find out about this. Nifong applied this theory to the line ups -- that is, the only relevant fact is the the FA picked these three, and anything else htat happened is irrleevant. The hearing in February will dispose of this theory as well.
What we are seeing is a systematic legal exposure of Nifong creating his own law as he went along to achieve a desired result, without bothering to inform the court that he was creating these novel laws, or changing them as he went along to fit a preconceived narrative. Amazing.
Did you get the sense from the judge that he was starting to wise up to Nifong?
The judge was in a passive role in this hearing. Without him making a ruling it was difficult to know his thinking.
