Why not send Himan and Gottlieb to talk to her? Nifong: He’s a prosecutorial investigator. Uses him to prepare for trial.
Witt: What directions did you give Wilson? Nifong: All he was going to do was talk about all the statements that had been reported in the past and what her reaction was to those versions.
Williamson: He was told to dicuss her prior versions? Nifong: Yes. He was to “confront her” with these versions. We wanted to find out what her memory was at this point.
Witt: Did you tell him to take any photos? Nifong: The only ones he took with him were photos taken at the party to get info from her about when and where they were taken. Said he learned other photos were taken when he got a letter from lawyer Jim Cooney.
Nifong: Wilson memorialized his meeting with Mangum in a memo but did not record it. Williamson: Why not? Nifong: Don’t know.
Williamson: Did you tell him to memorialize it in any way. “Did you tell him to take good notes or anything?” Nifong: I told him to memorialize it in his normal way.
“We’re not using him in that fashion anymore,” says Nifong. Was either late in 2006 or in 2007. Says he hasn’t done any work for Nifong since the Mangum interview. “Not for me.”
