DUKE RAPE CASE: Understanding SANE, V
Durham In Wonderland ^ | 11/17/06 | KC Johnson

Eckelt has “never” seen diffuse vaginal wall edema “by itself, without any redness or other signs.” Yet, according to SANE nurse-in-training Tara Levicy’s report, this is exactly what Levicy saw with the accuser. But, notes Eckelt, “edema, diffuse or otherwise, is not an injury. It is the body’s response to an injury, an infection, or a disease or inflammatory process of some sort.” According to Eckelt, what could cause diffuse vaginal wall edema?

Smoking Sex within 24 hours of the vaginal exam Frequent sex Tricyclic anti-depressants, or other medications with properties similar to them—such as Flexeril. It’s unclear if the accuser smokes. But she certainly seems to exhibit the other characteristics.

Eckelt concluded that neither she nor her colleague “felt that diffuse vaginal edema, alone, without any other symptoms or injuries, would be indicative of sexual assault,” and that certainly “neither one of us would be willing to walk into court and state that it is.”

I just have one question to clarify this post. Are the words "Smoking" and "Sex" meant to be read together as a monolithic phrase - or are they separate items in a list?

I don't think "Smoking Sex" would ever apply to her.

Yes it is. I'm sure KC Johnson was at the top of Nifong's "I'm gonna getchoo bloggers" list.

Excellent post. Another nail in an already over nailed coffin. We can but hope that now that the sociopthic Nifong has got what he wanted, he will move on and let this case fade away.
