I don't think this will wash either, given his statements to the judge about having turned everything over when in fact he had failed to turn over the info. on the large amount of non player DNA found on and in Mangum.<BR/><BR/>I knew he wouldn't resign, he isn't ever going to resign for the good of Durham, he wont' probably resign even after he's disbarred unless its a legal requirement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-84931815639736280172007-06-12T09:34:00.000-04:002007-06-12T09:34:00.000-04:00Turn on CourtTV.
