Reply #189: What was the ugly counter-defense for the students? [View All]

None of their lawyers or anyone else on their team launched any "ugly" counter-defense. But they did release bank camera photos, cell phone records, and other records that gradually blew Mangum's case apart.

Nifong succeeded in keeping evidence hidden until the State Attorney general finally personally took over the case and discovered the exculpatory evidence that had been withheld from the defense. If the State Attorney General hadn't taken over the case, those students would likely have gone to prison.
