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."

>>The WRAL article said court documents show what was to be looked for (shoe,etc) in Finnerty's room. I wonder if by Tuesday afternoon the investigators had given up on tying Seligmann to any assault, and were focusing desperately on finding something on Finnerty.<,

Sounds reasonable, and highly probable, especially since the DNA tests Nifong is waiting for aren't happening.

You really don't see the connection of this case to morality? I think the light bulb should be for you then.

I never said on this thread anything about Christianity. I apologize, I should have said it to your face first.

The N&O give a list of what they found in Finnerty's room.

Finnerty's Room Search

The warrants also show that they were looking for photos and video recordings from the party, as well as e-mail, computers that might contain evidence proving a rape, kidnapping and sex offense.

But, according to an inventory made public this afternoon, they seized only a New York Times article about the case and an envelope sent to Finnerty in September from a woman with a Boston College address.

I grew up in Norfolk, VA which is one of the biggest Navy bases in the world. I promise you that the strip clubs were all over town and very busy at least up until the Vietnam war which is when I graduated high school. What's changed is the attitude toward them. The finally got them "cleaned up" which means they're just now underground.

Warrants sought personal items



Duke lacrosse player Reade Seligmann was arrested and charged April 18 with first degree forceable rape, first degree sexual assault and kidnapping in a case involving an exotic dancer who said she was raped at a lacrosse team party held in Durham.

Durham police on Tuesday night searched rape defendant Collin Finnerty's room for personal items belonging to his accuser, according to a search warrant filed today. They seized a news clipping and a seven-month-old envelope.

The investigators who visited Finnerty's room at Duke University's Edens dormitory the day of his arrest were looking for clothing, a shoe and other property, according to the warrant.

Pictures, which were taken the night of a March 13 lacrosse team party at which an escort service dancer says she was raped, show the accuser wearing only one of her white, high-heeled shoes.

The warrants also show that they were looking for photos and video recordings from the party, as well as e-mail, computers that might contain evidence proving a rape, kidnapping and sex offense.

But, according to an inventory made public this afternoon, they seized only a New York Times article about the case and an envelope sent to Finnerty in September from a woman with a Boston College address.

It might actually make going to sea for 6-7 months enjoyable.

Yup ...
It's all part of life. Hopefully, my grand kids will reach adulthood with just minor dings.

"The question I haven't seen answered yet is: Was there any other forensic DNA in/on the woman that wasn't hers?"

A news release the other day stated that there was no DNA in/on her that matched any of the accused. Whether they found something tho from someone else is most likely a sure fire fact.

I see you've made your point numerous times. I see that as disruptive. Offer something new or move on.

We have gotten your point over and over and over. I am happy to hear that you ARE moving on.

Now, let's all concentrate of what is important here: the suffering and injustice inflicted on young men by the false allegation of rape from a stripper w/a criminal history including lying and an out of control DA, determined to win an election.

I think that search warrant was executed Monday, wasn't it?

I'm not sure. I assumed it was her white shoe. It has been listed on the previous two search warrants as items to be seized. I didn't see it listed on the inventory of items actually seized.

Actually what it means is that Mayor Myra is in charge and Va.Beach cannot even have a Home Depot or Wal-Mart that doesn't look like it came out of Architectural Digest.
