What did Mike Nifong know, and when did he know it?

This topic concerns who originated the attempted frame-up of the Duke Lacrosse team.

DA Nifong claimed in testimony before the State Bar than he did not learn about the incident until the afternoon of March 23 when he saw a copy of the Non-Testimonial Identification Order (NTIO) on a copy machine. By making this claim he distanced himself from actions and events prior to March 23. If this is true, then the Durham PD has increased culpability for the frame-up attempt.

John in Carolina and others have debunked this story and insist Nifong knew about the case as early as March 14.

This is more than just academic debate-- the relative culpability of the defendants in the civil cases will determine the amount of damages should the lacrosse team members win their lawsuits.

Here are some of J in C's blogs on the subject:

J in C's latest post is a logical discussion of the importance of "courthouse buzz" and the interconnection between police, prosecutors, lawyers and hospital personnel:
