From Gaynor:

Ms. Cannon, I have a few questions for you.

Yes, Ms. Cannon, I really do.

First, about his interest in prosecuting Elmostafa, cab driver and alibi witness, did Mr. Nifong tell you to lie?

Second, if so, how can you live with yourself, how can you sleep at night, if I may pry?

Third, did you tell your colleague and friend A.D.A. Phyliis Trachese that Mr. Nifong told you to lie?

Fourth, if so, as to your hospitalization after the cabbie's acquittal, will you tell the world the real reason why?

Fifth, would you rather take a polygraph test or, Fifth Amendment rights, assert?

Sixth, do you think career advancement worthwhile when innocent people get hurt?

For your answers, Ms. Cannon, my breath, I won't be holding,

As, the Duke case denouement, I continue to watch unfolding.

Michael J. Gaynor
