Like “Old Man River,” Nifong and his enablers' lies just keep rolling along.
Two of Nifong & Cos. latest lies appear at the end of this excerpt from WRAL TV’s report of this morning’s court hearing:
Brian Meehan, the director of a private lab that tested DNA samples in the case, testified Friday about the testing procedures and the report the lab delivered to Nifong's office. Defense attorneys maintain that report was incomplete.Meehan didn't try to withhold information? Nifong wanted "to protect the privacy of lacrosse players who weren’t implicated in the case?"
The defense said the full report showed DNA samples from several men were found on the woman and her underwear, but none of the genetic material matched any of the players. Their motion also said that some of Meehan's own DNA contaminated the sample.
Meehan said the lab didn't try to withhold information. He said he and Nifong chose not to release the full report to protect the privacy of lacrosse players who weren't implicated in the case.
What a crock!
Where’s Kim Roberts when we need her?

The proffered excuse is transparently disingenuous. That he testified that he and Nifong decided to tailor the final report is encouraging.
I am just in shock at how easily these ridiculous statements can be made under oath. I honestly don't know how Nifong, Meehan and their ilk sleep at night. My conscience would eat away at me if I even thought of subverting the law the way these men so brazenly did it. And the three young men and their families have to continue to suffer and not be able to get on with their lives as a result of all this. Truely, truely sad.
How in the heck does one "not try" to withhold information. Either one withholds it, or he does not.
If that is the best excuse they could come up with, they are finally really in trouble. After the NO wanted poster,to claim they did not want to sling mud is beyond contempt.
Somebody please explain to me how withholding evidence of the LAX players innocence protected their privacy? No one had been indicted when Meehan's lab did the first round of testing on the AV's panties and the swabs from her vagina and rectum, but all the white LAX players were suspects (and being branded as rapists in the media) at that time. They had no privacy to protect then, and even if they had somehow been able to remain private, how would disclosing evidence of their innocence have affected their privacy rights???
