Tension high in Duke caseN.C. stripper hides as TV shows pics

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."

I'm confused Maggie...I thought the stripper 'went back' into the house to get her other shoe when she realized it was missing off her foot as she walked down the back stairs. Now the cops are looking for it????

(My head hurts....)

My grandfather and uncle were Episcopalian priests. Oh, can they tell stories. And so can their children.

If the law in NC is the same in most other states, the amount of bail relates to the likelihood of the accused failing to appear. Naturally the seriousness of the crime (severity of punishment) is a factor in that, but so are such matters as place of permanent residence, ties to the community, etc. College students who only temporarily reside in NC while attending school quite arguably present a much more significant risk of non-appearance than does a local permanent resident who has lived in the state his entire life. That and the fact that $50,000 might not mean very much to an affluent Wall Streeter (as one of the boy's fathers has been described) undoubtedly played a role in the disparity you cite.

Where, exactly, are these guys going to flee to? Their pictures have been shown more times than Leash Girl!

I am trying to catch up (and thanks to you, Peach, Howlin, et al) for keeping this thread updated....

Correct me if I am wrong--they are looking for her white shoe (search warrant)? The very same shoe she is pictured leaving with at 12:30 (ish)?

12:03:57 a.m. The dancers by the door. The accuser's right shoe is on the floor. The men in the room are sitting.


Yeah, it's cropped.

But you were an adult and the others there were adults, right? No underage drinking, I would assume.

Speaking about what she can and cannot afford...

How much does her 3 one-on-ones a week pay? If the dad of her kids is paying her $400 per month as he was ordered to do, I wonder what her income is? Does she receive food stamps and whatever that ABC program is for young kids? Low income housing? Military money? GI Bill for college? Or Pell Grant?

So it's the drinking that upsets you? I thought it was the stripper. I doubt there are more than a dozen kids at any given college who haven't engaged in some underage drinking.

The shoe she is wearing is the other one.

Oh, good points. I'll bet she gets some of that assistance. She probably doesn't need to strip to make a living, but to support a drug habit, imo.

Yep...the brown flip flop on what looks to be a male foot...also showing some leg...and someone with jeans on with a shoe that looks like its dark grey on the bottom with a dark brown on the top....like a skater shoe.....
and of course...the ugly white stripper shoe....

I think that DA has a thing for feet.


There's absolutely no evidence these kids would want any 'mementos' from either of these two women.

If the DA is in that mindset, we have a problem. A serious problem.

The shoe is off at 12:03:57 ... the time the dance ended. (Did she fall down during her "dance?")

She left without the shoe at 12:30:12 subsequently falling on the stairs.

The neighbor, Bissey, states she went back for the shoe but never reentered the house.

Early on, I thought I heard that the accuser was allowed to come back and get her purse, but when she returned, banging on the door and wanting to come in for her shoe, the guys refused to let her in. Am I mistaken?

She and the DA can always argue she just got the timeline wrong. You know, after being raped and drugged and all. In reality, if someone is raped, is their first thought going to be to keep track of time? I wouldn't think so.

I am confused...I saw the white next to her body on the 12:30 pic and thought it was the missing shoe.

Thanks!

If she never went back inside the house after 12:30, then we're back to the alleged rape having to happen during the time she was in the bathroom. Where personally I think she was doing her nails and getting high(er).
