As predicted in another thread yesterday, DNA lab head not interested in taking a fall

[r9etb]

Oh, my. This is a confession of criminal activity.

[AZRepublican]

Why is Mike Nifong still a DA?

[AD from SpringBay]

Nifong should pay restitution to the falsely accused young men for the rest of his life.

[meandog]

The head of a private DNA laboratory said under oath today that he and District Attorney Mike Nifong agreed not to report DNA results favorable to Duke lacrosse players charged with rape...

Whoa-a-a-a, subornation of evidence is a felony in most states...isn't it (seeking legal opinion from some of you FReeper lawyers).

[Lexington Green]

Nifong belongs in prison

[Seruzawa]

Ant DA who would purposefully prosecute someone he knows to be innocent of the charges is someone so low, so ciminal and so degraded that no punishment less than double the punishment that would been inflicted on the innocent should be considered inflicted on the DA.

After this every single case that Nifong prosecuted will be under appeal.

Well done, Nifong, you piece of crap.

[Spok]

Nifong will be lucky if he only loses his job over this debacle.

[OldFriend]

So she had the baby before she didnt' have the baby.

Seemingly no one bothers to verify facts, just run with rumors.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

BUMP

[CharlesWayneCT]

Nifong: "And we were trying to, just as Dr. Meehan said, trying to avoid dragging any names through the mud".

This is his excuse for not mentioning that all the DNA evidence pointed to people who were NOT named in an indictment. These "unnamed" people who had actually been intimate with the woman were being "protected" from having "their names" dragged through the mud.

Meanwhile, Nifong was dragging the names of the Duke players through the mud.

[FreePaul]

...Meehan admitted that his report violated his laboratory’s standards by not reporting results of all tests.

The DNA lab head is headed for a fall along with his lab. How can anyone have any confidence in his lab after this? Every time they have to go to court on a case this will haunt them. Serves them right.

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Nifong is out of control and has been for quite awhile.

I'm surprised that this isn't on the desk of our USAG.

Gonzales .... you out there anywhere?????????????

[RebelBanker]

Is it my imagination or did DA Nifong and DNA lab director Meehan just admit to felonies?

[Lazamataz]

This is a criminal offense. Nifong is in serious trouble.

[sourcery]

Well, based on the BJ Clinton precedent, Nifong's popularty should now rise to new heights. Dem's so love corruption in their leaders, after all.

[6SJ7]

This sounds like a possible case of criminal conspiracy to withhold evidence clearing the players.

[KingArthur305]

Why are they trying to ruin students making something of themselves and defending a pure slut is the derangement of the liberal mind.

[D.P.Roberts]

Nifong's evil is beyond belief. Were I a juror in Durham- as I have been on two occasions- it would be impossible for me to convict anyone being accused by his office ever again.

[outofstyle]

his lab found DNA from unidentified men...

Have they cross checked the DNA files from the Ken Star investigation?

[blam]

Let the civil suits against Nifong and the state of NC begin. This is going to be real big.
