The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids, attends North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college in Durham.

She plans to keep a low profile until the students go on trial to avoid inflaming tensions in the black community, where opinion is running heavily against the privileged students.

One of the most hurtful things for the woman about the media circus surrounding the case, the cousin said, is the tendency to assume the worst about her because she is a stripper.

"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

Or a doorknob, cuz everybody in that house got to turn it atleast once.

>>>The former husband said he was illiterate when he married the then-19-year-old woman. She taught him to read, he said, and was kind and patient during the process.<<<

And she was kind enough to give these college boys an anatomy lesson. We've all been misjudging her!!!

The holier-than thoughs are spouting off the same clap-trap over and over and over. I'm personally done responding to them. I guess they found us over here in chat.LOL!!

They're not adults until they can have legally have a beer with their pals.

Thank you

[Boxsford]

exactly. I have no inclination to defend either side. Both sides made vulgar choices.

[sissyjane]

Well, maybe you should have read further, because the name of the ship is the USS Mount Hood.

I don't mind that we're in chat because we get fewer disruptors over here, imo.

[Locomotive Breath]

If, at this point, Finnerty has that woman's show in his room then I almost think he deserves to go to jail.

[sissyjane]

It's the few disruptors that have managed to find us that I was refering to.

Guess what was just said on FOX..

Suddenly.. they said many are saying they need to stop trying this case in the MEDIA.

What? It was 4 months of Nifong .. now that they know what they are defending they shouldn't straighten out the Public that has already convicted them.

As soon as there's some Defense.. We need to stop trying this in the media.. Looks like some people don't want to hear the truth. Like many have said, some people really wanted to believe this woman was Gang-raped by these swaggering white, priv...

ROFL

Sorry, that article I posted requires a serious barf alert.

[Peach]

I just read that and am perplexed by the timing; the cops were there and the house was empty. Also, weren't we operating under the assumption that Kim went to Kroger and made the first 911 call from there? Was that our assumption or did she say that? Or, perhaps the answer doesn't matter terribly since she's lied about so many other things.

Does anyone else wonder if Rita Cosby is mentally challenged?

She seems to be the stupidest person on talk TV (which is no mean feat).

[Peach]

You are saying if a stripper gave a show in a boy's room he deserves to go to jail for 12 years or more regardless of whether he anticipated in this faux rape?

[Peach]

4 weeks, not mos.

[OakOak]

USS MOUNT get it? never mind

You said: "There are no good guys or gals in this story."

That's not how you characterized what I said. You wrote:

A couple of players hire a stripper and you conclude all members of the team are bad guys? even those who aren't there?

I said nothing about the whole team. I was referring specifically to those who participated in the drinking party, watched strippers, or took their clothes off in front of a bunch of drunk idiots. If any of the above mentioned behavior is now considered 'good', I guess I missed that newsflash.
