Whereas it's depressingly likely that some people listened to Nancy Grace saying "they don't want to take a lie detector test because they're afraid they won't <I>pass</I> a lie detector test" and thought "Well, Nancy wouldn't tell us that they didn't want to take a lie detector test unless she <I>knew</I> that they tried to avoid one."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-33053961827908388012007-09-28T19:52:00.000-04:002007-09-28T19:52:00.000-04:00Evans statement in lacrosse case "was brilliant . ...<I>Evans statement in lacrosse case "was brilliant . . . had a real significant effect on public opinion of him and of the case"</I><BR/><BR/>It certainly was...and it also showed the public that these men were not derelicts.<BR/><BR/>David was strong and direct as he told the public that these were "fantastic lies" that would unravel with time.Debrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567454727276881424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-6408486177397729472007-09-28T19:31:00.001-04:002007-09-28T19:31:00.001-04:00Thanks KC!Goodenow: media and public have right to...Thanks KC!<BR/><BR/><I>Goodenow: media and public have right to access to the courts--not to everything dealing with case</I><BR/><BR/>I hope she's not wanting to make public information secret. <BR/><BR/>I've seen information released after cases have been closed that would have been nice to have had before it closed.
