DURHAM, N.C.—One of three Duke University lacrosse players charged with rape wants the case resolved in time for the next school year, his lawyer said in court yesterday. But the judge warned he will not fast-track the proceedings.
The case "is not going to jump ahead of the line and be handled any differently," Superior Court Judge Ronald L. Stephens said at a hearing for sophomore Reade Seligmann.
After the brief hearing, District Attorney Mike Nifong said he does not expect any trial to begin before next year.

Mangum certainly lives a high risk life style. So you are right the longer this goes, the greater chance that she will not be around to testify.
If they are innocent, they must not offer money to that woman.....
offering money to me is admitting some kind of predicament and it will hang over these young men's heads forever....
_____________________________________________________
As I said, they can not offer her money not to testify. But what they must avoid at all costs is being convicted or copping a plea to a sex crime when they did not commit one. That is the scarlett letter right now in this society.
If they can make this danger to their lives go away by paying her something for her fall on the steps, they have to think very hard about it. Such a move on their part will not make me think the raped Mangum and an acquital by a jury will not make Windy Murphy or her cult believe they did not.
I think we are at an impass that I hope you never get to deal with the reality of finding out how you would behave if falsely charged. I also do not see the link between correctly calling racism, racism and whether or not it is best to pay racists to go away rather than spend more money in a fight where you might lose your freedom for a decade.

Noise violation trial postponed
May 19, 2006 : 8:24 pm ET
The noise ordinance violation trial of indicted Duke lacrosse player David Evans, scheduled for Tuesday, has been postponed.
Evans is one of three players indicted in the alleged rape of a woman at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. in March. The rescheduled date was not available Friday.
The District Attorney's office said the trial was postponed because Ashley Cannon, the assistant DA handling the case, will be out of town on the proposed date, and doesn't indicate the state is going to drop the charge. Evans' attorney, Brad Bannon, called for the charge to be dropped Tuesday after District Court Judge David LaBarre found Daniel Flannery not guilty of violating the ordinance in the same incident. Flannery, like Evans, lived at the house. But Flannery isn't a suspect in the rape case.
The charge arose from a January party during which a neighbor called 911 to report a loud clanging noise. Police who responded cited Evans and Flannery for the loud music played at the party. After his ruling, Judge LaBarre said there were better ways the court could use its time than in hearing such cases.

Delay, delay, delay. Nifong doing everything he can to get this case out of the news and "cool the mark."
I am sure it had nothing to do with the other noise ordinance case getting thrown out. (/sarcasm)
And another assistant DA can't step up to prosecute a noise violation? Give me a break!
I am getting very sleepy....
You would have thought a great legal mind such as Nifong would have love the opportunity to show Joe Cheshire what he is made of before the big case.
This is such bull!
The judge should have dismissed the case rather than granting the prosecutor's office a continuance, especially in light of the disposition of the companion case.
Come on. It's a noice violation case. Going to trial?? And then postponed because the assistant DA is out of town?
And why weren't the two cases joined? Same evidence, same incident.
HEHEHEHE
Are we good or what!
You remember correctly, Aqualung-lover.

>>Nifonghas said he believes physical evidence shows a rape occurred. Nurses evaluating the woman found injuries and behavior that were consistent with a sexual assault, he said. Even without DNA, he said he could still pursue the case.
"I would not be surprised if condoms were used," Nifong said in an interview last month. "Probably an exotic dancer would not be your first choice for unprotected sex." <<
_________
Based on the SANE report and/or Crystal's statement, Nifong knew from the beginning that the "rapists" didn't use condoms. That may be why he was so sure that the first round of DNA test results would "clear the innocent."
But interesting here is that Nifong suggested that the boys might have worn condoms in an interview "last month" i.e., March. IOW, *before* he got the results of the DNA test results.
So Nifong was talking out of both sides of his mouth from the start. And it also indicates that Nifong didn't believe everything Crystal said. He wasn't sure that the "rapists" weren't wearing condoms.
You got that right. She is being such an unreasonable hardass on the boys that, while I would ordinarily hate to wish this on anyone, she should have a male she is close to, cares about, be falsely accused of rape (providing there's any such male in her life). Maybe then she'd see some light.
"your case" was not on tv 24/7. Not politically motivated.... etc... etc...
Yours is ringing bells for me. I'd have to go through a zillion posts to find that data.
Thanks for the ping, Perdogg.
Howlin, hope things are improving on the homefront.

I wonder if Jackie is a member of the YMCA.
Duke Pushes YMCA To Extend Family Rate To Same-Sex Couples--snip:
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University is joining an effort to persuade the YMCA to give family membership rates to same-sex couples and has threatened to end its relationship with the agency if it doesn't change its policy.
Duke officials said in a letter dated Tuesday that if the agency does not change its policy they will end their relationship with the YMCA of the Triangle. Duke is Durham's largest employer.
It's fun to stay at the Y M C A!
