"Really? Three times and they are still alive? I hope if there is another trial your not on it!" annforeveryoung

You must be an owl, you certainly attack, and for what, because I offered a helpful answer. If you're on it, I hope you have learned the distinct difference between your and you're.

Annforeveryoung, I'm glad someone else out there sees it too. I don't know what is worse, the fact that prosecutors deliberately misbehave to the detriment of the system or the fact that people I read on this forum expect them too, and are willing to tolerate it to satisfy their blood lust and to balm their lack of understanding of what this does to our freedom. What's even worse is when the prosecutors get caught, and something like this happens, whether it's anew trial or an exoneration, the people out here still castigate the defendants as guilty and blame the defense attorneys for understanding and respecting the judicial system more than they do. It's a sad situation.

I don't have an exact count, but there have been some. Two men say an owl has attacked them three times outside their Apex office. And they have video to back up their claims.

bgcoving; The NC defense attorney's association has been fighting for years over the fact that prosecutors routinely withhold exculpatory evidence, coach witnesses, and otherwise circumvent defendant's rights as a matter of practice, if not policy. In a case like this misconduct isn't even an assumption, it's a given.) I have worked in law enforcement for years.. and unfortunately I have to agree with you.. It's a sad but true. However; having said that I only incurred this behavior in Durham NC. I'm sure it's all over and I'm glad I'm retired from it all and wasn't exposed to more of it in my career. My heart goes out to all of those just venturing into the world of local city government careers.

Two men were attacked by a juvenile barred owl approximately 18 months ago in Apex. One of them was hit pretty hard and said he felt like he'd been hit with a baseball bat. Maybe you don't remember but a couple of springs ago, a mockingbird terrorized pedestrians on Jones St. right out in front of the legislature and sent one person to the ER with cuts. THAT was just an 8-oz songbird.

My mind is quite open, particularly when the prosecution claims that a hollow brass blowpoke that would have folded like a soggy ramen noodle inflicted fatal injuries, especially when said blowpoke was found and obviously NOT the murder weapon. I remember you, everyone is guilty, right? Talk about one being born every minute....

So it was Professor Tree in the Yard with a Stick.

bgcoving, I think you gave me a clue I had overlooked. I recall there were some leaves stuck to her hair. She was attacked by a tree. I saw something similar in a cartoon once.

There were no feathers at the crimescene. Mike Nifong had very little input if any on the first trial.. It was Jim Hardin and Freda Black that ran that horse and pony show..--annforeveryoung

There were, apparently, down feathers (tertiaries)in a hank of bloody hair that was sent to the SBI lab, and of course, disclosed to the defense after the trial was over. Someone (I don't know who) has said they were consistent with owl feathers. I for one would like to see them tested, if for no other reason than to discount the hypothesis (testing the null hypothesis). As for whether or not it was Nifong, Black or Hardin running the show is irrelevant. The NC defense attorney's association has been fighting for years over the fact that prosecutors routinely withhold exculpatory evidence, coach witnesses, and otherwise circumvent defendant's rights as a matter of practice, if not policy. In a case like this misconduct isn't even an assumption, it's a given.

"Owl feathers are usually found attached to owls, which are in fact raptors. If you step on one, it's on your shoe. If you fall on one, it might be stuck to your clothing. If the owl feather is in a hank of bloody hair found in the hand of a dead woman with gouges in her skull and no associated skull fracturing or brain tissue trauma associated with blunt force injury, it begs the question of how the dead woman's hair came into contact with the feathers of a raptor. Your argument is invalid." bgcoving

In spite of the made-up story, the feathers could very well have made contact with the hair, the blood, or anything else it came in contact with.

Are you so narrow minded that you might believe the steps were swept clean of any debris? How many other raptor attacks have been reported in that area?

The only owl involved in that murder is the one who is trying to hoodwink the people. Wise, maybe, but not smart.

But, like they say, there is one born every minute!
