I didn't see anything posted on this live testimony. Who's watching it and what are your thoughts?

[mware]

I was hoping someone would start a thread.

Nifong was there when everyone was issuing threats in the courtroom. Before the judge came in.

[elizabetty]

What kind of threats?

[scott7278]

What’s going on? I turned the channel, and when I came back they said something about shouting. Who?

[I still care]

The judge seems to be reading the riot act.

[mware]

playing the judges comments before the hearing. That judge layed down the law.

[I still care]

He was standing up, saying it’s his court and if people can’t obey the rules he’ll put them in jail. Wow.

[Brytani]

I remembered that from when the hearing took place. At least this judge didn’t put up with the crap in his courtroom but it appears Nifong loved it IMO.

[mware]

The shouting was a death threat during one of the initial hearings. There has been no shouting in this hearing.

[scott7278]

Oh, thanks. That was strange, turning back and seeing that.

[Brytani]

Death threats against the Duke players, specifically Seligmann at one of the judicial hearings on the case. The threats were made infront of Nifong by a member of the black panters group.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Please elaborate.

Who was issuing threats? And what were they saying?

Thanks.

[mware]

that was a video tape of the initial hearing, not this one.

[tobyhill]

Nifong is just like a terrorist, destroy our judicial system for political gain and power even at the expense of innocent lives.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Boy, Nifong’s demeanor sure has changed since then. Jackass.

[Brytani]

Fox is running this live - they were playing a portion of an administrative hearing on the case where death threats were made to the players until the judge came in and put an end to it.

Funny, for all of Nifong’s love on prosecution, it was his job to prosecute those making vocal and obvious death threats against the players, yet he did nothing about it, except for smirk.

[wastedyears]

The Riot Act???

[mware]

The threat was made during the initial hearing not this one. It was made by a man directly in back of Reid, who said, “I do not want to sit next to this piece of _ _ _ _, the mf’er. You are a dead man walking.”

[Brytani]

Yes I know - others who are not watching thought the threats were being issued at the current, live hearing.

Thanks...
