LIVE THREAD: 2:30 Press Conference Regarding Nifong's Request to be Excused from Duke Case

FNC | January 13, 2007

[Peach]

Press conference scheduled for 2:30 regarding Nifong's request to be excused from Duke case.

FNC will carry live.

[Peach]

I heard that!

[Peach]

Yup. It's an ugly thread. Already.

[Howlin]

I think the attorneys in NC have made this state's legal system into a travesty where they, and they alone, weild the power.

I know that the DA sure seem untouchable according to their rules.

Just imagine what he has done to people who don't have the $$ for good attorneys.

[txrangerette]

I can imagine. Probably resembles one on DU, just not as obscene. I'll pass.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Speaking of the "victim", isn't it illegal to report false information on a police and provide false testimony to a court? She should be prosecuted in criminal court. Of course, no jury will convict her now because she has a kid. It is absolutely disgusting to see how these criminals and undesirables hide behind their kids.

[tiredoflaundry]

Note to self: avoid that thread.

[Mad-Margaret]

Older pets are so territorial.

Are you loving this? I wrote long ago that it was going to be interesting to see how the Powers That Be get out of this mess. But I never expected it to be this interesting.

Wonder if the AG is going to say anything more than that he has accepted the case.

[Jrabbit]

I'm amazed at this entire case! I don't have a clue what the AG is going to say or if he'll answer questions. I hope so...

[Sue Perkick]

I'm sick to death of hearing that too. I read in the paper this morning about that idiot wanting Crystal to "have a fair trial". And the other day about Crystal's right to her "day in court". And I agree she should have it. But as a DEFENDANT.

[txrangerette]

I believe this latest is her THIRD child.

[Carolinamom]

Instead of a repeat of having the players' pics spread on the cover, I want to see CRYSTAL'S FACE ON TIME MAGAZINEw/FALSE ACCUSER plastered beneath HER face...Equal treatment, you know.

[Howlin]

I have decided that the ONLY way this woman should not be prosecuted is if she agrees to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about everything that happened to her.

[Peach]

DA: I've accepted the request to take over the 3 Durham cases.

[Howlin]

He accepts!

Three cases? What three cases?

[Peach]

Roy Cooper, NC AG

Work will be handled in his office.

[GRRRRR]

STARTING NOW...

"Today, directed the prosecutors to ACCEPT Nifong's recusal"...
The NC Atty Gen OFFICE will handle the case now, using a special prosecutor, available whenever there is a conflict...

[Howlin]

Which 3 cases, the 3 boys? Oh, I get it.

[Jrabbit]

finally...here we go....AG is rather attracive...

[abb]

I want defense team in on paperwork transfer. Cooper and team need to be watched.

[Mad-Margaret]

We need to find out who is in this special prosecutors unit. Names, background, etc.
