[I want to know]

I told him a lot of people who followed the case closely indeed DID consider it evidence destruction and that Liestoppers had a correspondent at the hearing. To which he opined that hearing are public and anyone can go and that news judgements are always made as to what is newsworthy.

From the Chronicle article you referenced earlier upthread:

Other requested materials, including the original 911 tapes from the night of the alleged rape could not be provided, Nifong said. "The representation is that the tapes didn't exist or have been taped over," Nifong said.

Which is it? Did the tapes not exist or were they taped over?

Wow! What a guy!

If those tapes are taped over, then they no longer exist, do they?
