The US Constitution is vague on this issue and I have read on message boards that if you get a trial within a year, the Federal Court don't seem to object. <BR/><BR/>2. One law suit has been filed by a lacrosse player over grade discrimination. I have also seen this question asked in terms of statute of limitations. In many states the statute of limitations for torts is one year, so if that is the case in NC, the time is drawing near when we will see a flurry of filings. Whether it is a year in NC was not answered that I have seen around here. <BR/><BR/>3. The courts have held that the police can lie to suspects. So in general I think nothing will come of that e-mail. Others think differently and certainly a case for wire fraud etc could be made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-29926024647602410062007-03-03T16:13:00.000-05:002007-03-03T16:13:00.000-05:00JLS says....,re: Cedarford I asked a similar ques...JLS says....,<BR/><BR/><B>re: Cedarford</B> I asked a similar question on this or some other forum and was told that bar hearing have the authority of the state behind them and that in most states the Bar is now a state agency not a private one as most of us would think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-61157669949362103092007-03-03T15:57:00.000-05:002007-03-03T15:57:00.000-05:005:20Interesting ...”junk data”.

You have a very good point, but the reason I thought the other DNA was important as exculpatory evidence has to do with the improbability that old and fragmentary DNA could be picked up, but no recently deposited DNA from a 30 (or 10) minute gang rape. A rape kit done within a couple of hours should have picked up traces of sweat, lubricant, saliva, hair, etc from the “attack” that night.....but there is nothing. Nothing but old mementos of Crystal’s busy life - minute details picked up by the testing. Does DNA testing precision have an inverse relationship with the age of the sample tested? The older the better? Fresh samples harder to identify? Or is it more likely that as we have known all along - there is no “fresh” DNA from the lacrosse team because, other than the guy who helped her to the car, there was no physical contact between her and any team member. <BR/>Mar 3, 2007 11:53:00 AM<BR/>“Maybe people are happy with propaganda and outright lies as long as it supports their view.”<BR/>Never underestimate the dedication of potbangers. They have no qualms about lying when reality disappoints them by not providing suitable fodder. Note that reports of the “incidents” were many, reports of the fraud exposure, few. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.kten.com/Global/story.asp?S=5805759" REL="nofollow">Alleged Gay Hate Crime Sparks Rally in Ada</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.kotv.com/news/local/story/?id=121590" REL="nofollow">Purported Hate Crime Was Faked</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-47939885486662660002007-03-03T14:36:00.000-05:002007-03-03T14:36:00.000-05:00Perhaps a lawyer or legal expert of some kind coul...Perhaps a lawyer or legal expert of some kind could weigh in please.<BR/><BR/>1) I've read much about civil suits coming and criminal charges that Nifong will face, when can a defendent press for failure to provide a speedy trial.

No wonder subscriptions to all papers are declining. Who runs the press zoo? Nifong has lied. CGM is an inveterate liar.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, blogging software was around so that people with an ability to review the case objectively can make their viewpoints heard. I read on DBR earlier today the response of the Duke alum and Maryland attorney who Nifong cited in his response as being behind the movement to throw out the case and remove him from office. He stated that his reason was to reach a broader audience since the Duke administration refused to listen to his appeals for sanity. If there's any media writer that reads this blog, I'd like to appeal to you to run an article with the word "liar" in it.<BR/><BR/>Still Incredulous about Nifong's liesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-82653956337028289642007-03-03T14:03:00.000-05:002007-03-03T14:03:00.000-05:00from a non-lawyer / retired professor: I am almos...from a non-lawyer / retired professor: I am almost reluctant to mention this, but I would not be surprised if the the H-S sponsored a Nifong defense fund.
