She made it clear that the only reason she was there was because she received a subpoena requiring her to be there.<br /><br />It was a clever smoke and mirror move by Cline's attorney. Morey is the Chief District Court Judge. District Court is where only misdemeanor and traffic offenses are heard. Cline and her cohorts haven't stepped foot in District Court in years.<br /><br />Morey could only testify as to what was happening in District Court...not Superior Court, where all felonies are tried, and where Orlando Hudson presides.<br /><br />Sutton and her attorney missed the opportunity on cross to ask Morey if she had any opinion regarding Superior Court. Her answer would have not been helpful to Cline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-42204292886186162832012-02-28T06:15:33.889-05:002012-02-28T06:15:33.889-05:00I say again, it is disgustingly remarkable the ext...I say again, it is disgustingly remarkable the extent to which certain intellectual snobs will go to avoid admitting error.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-4836677714654637302012-02-27T21:04:48.781-05:002012-02-27T21:04:48.781-05:00To not see what is right in front of your face is ...To not see what is right in front of your face is a way of life and no struggle at all for some folks.

Surreal. Judge Morey actually testified that lying to the court was okay if it were in pre-trial stage and had no problem with what Nifong did. Judge Morey's view is that it is not a lie if you pretend it is true. George Costanza justice! In the end of course Morey's testimony did not amount to a hill of beans. Nifong was still held in contempt. One can reasonably expect the same here.<br /><br />Why MOrey is still on the bench after that revolting display remains one of the many, many enduring mysteries of the Duke-Nifong hoax.<br /><br />-- HaunchesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-59093936095927301822012-02-27T19:45:16.215-05:002012-02-27T19:45:16.215-05:00Is Morey a Communist?Is Morey a Communist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-55052213083204217612012-02-27T19:10:32.792-05:002012-02-27T19:10:32.792-05:00Is Morey a Communist?

Just saw her again last weekend telling women how they should feel, despite their protestations otherwise. Her wrongheadedness about the Duke Lacrosse case should disqualify her forever from any expert opinion on anything.skwillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216150339054413310noreply@blogger.com
