It would be great if she gave the public her expert opinion of the last televised court appearance, I beleive it was back in July of Nifong. I remember he kept wringing his hands, wiping his brow, smirking even when a black Panther threatened Reade's life, he rolled his eyes, and even put his head on the table. The press commented on strange Nifong's actions were in the court room. I would love to see what she thinks of this behavior. Even CIA terrorist interviewers use body language as a tool.

She will cost the state of NC millions of dollars, she has destroyed the reputation and real estate values of Durham, she has tainted any true rape allegations, she has attempted to destroy 3 innocent young men and stolen a years of their and their families lives, she has caused untold pain and heartache to their friends and family. Crystal justice will be served and you will rot in jail for a very long time. Go ahead just try and perjure yourself on the stand, it will only make your prison sentence much longer. Or you can tell the truth on the stand and possible make a plea deal with the state so they can nail Nifong. Either you go down big time with Nifong or you try and save your ass by telling the truth for once in your life.

They apparantly were outright lied to by Gotleib and Haim. Nifong as DA and Lead Investigator was the one running this scam. Gotleib produced a false report for the court. The FEDs better step in soon because I can see the paper shredders in the DA and DPD working full time. They are probably erasing all emails and any other exculpatory evidence they have. For God sakes, Nifong already admitted to the DPD destroying the police recordings and tapes. Unfortunate for him his early pandering to the public has come back to haunt him. All the radio and news stations he released these tapes to have the recordings on file. I want to see the SWAT Team drag Nifong, Gottleib and Haim out of bed and drag them in handcuffs to be questioned. At this point a NC State Conspiracy to frame 3 innocent young men for political purposes in on the front burner.

Somewhere back in April I thought reminding Americans that the grand jury has been abolished in favour of the preliminary hearing in every jurisdiction outside the US would be the limit of my involvement. That was a foolish belief and I've ended up doing a lot of commenting.<br /><br />That gives me a fairly unique persecutive as someone peering at the case from the other side of the Pacific. <br /><br />Two things have struck me again and again. Your society is far too willing to assign blame on grounds of race or opinion and you legal system vests far too much discretion in prosecutors. My comments at the Liestoppers Board carry a quote from Nelson Mandela, addressing the International Association of Prosecutors at Capetown in 2000:<br /><br />'The test of our commitment to a culture of rights lies in our ability to respect the rights not only of the weakest but also of the worst among us. ... I have never had the honour of being a prosecutor myself, though I have been prosecuted repeatedly and vigorously.'<br /><br />I have been stunned by the level of vituperation directed on the basis of opinion and race. It seems to me the question should be whether these defendants committed this rape, not who they are or who the complaining witness is. Equally, it seems to me that a fair questioning of the media's disgraceful record would turn on what they say, not who they are.<br /><br />I have been equally stunned by the doctrine of prosecutorial immunity, which is unknown in the common law world outside the United States. A succession of people, judges, journalists, politicians, commentators, took Nifong at his word merely because of the office he holds. <br /><br />The grand jury, at least as it stands in North Carolina, is as ceremonial as Elizabeth II and a lot less attractive to look at. Bagehot would have called it a dignified part of the constitution like the ritual and grandeur that surrounds the monarchy. The effective decision-maker in NC indictments is the prosecutor who acts almost entirely without checks and without balances. No record of his acts before the grand jury means there is no way to hold him accountable.<br /><br />Vesting a government official with that level of deference and immunity would have astonished Madison or Jefferson. It is incompatible with a culture of rights. And it needs to end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-72262040260414273642006-12-17T00:52:00.000-05:002006-12-17T00:52:00.000-05:00Did anyone see SNL, Amy Poehler just tore apart Na...Did anyone see SNL, Amy Poehler just tore apart Nancy Grace and the rest of the Hoax enablers?

It truly is a frightening and horrible thing.<br /><br />I have had people write me to tell me that Durham really is a good place, and that the people there are fair. All you have to do is to read this document to know that Durham truly is an evil, evil place.<br /><br />Even if Reade and Collin make it through this process without being convicted, neither of them ever could return to Duke University, as their lives would be in constant danger in Durham.<br /><br />So, to all of you from Durham who have spoken out in defense of these young men, I give you my highest amount of respect, for you truly went against the tide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-83248913094765529262006-12-16T23:17:00.000-05:002006-12-16T23:17:00.000-05:00Interesting readering on Forensic Talk:
