" I doubt very seriously that a SANE nurse would ever perform an examination and say that there was no evidence of sexual abuse."
It's not the function of the SANE nurse to decide if rape occured.
She should just document and assess the pts physical and emotional condition, collect evidence and offer support and counseling.
Nifong and the media have claimed that the nurse said the injuries were consistent with rape.
The nurse should have just stated the facts , not drawn conclusions. Which she may well have done.
Nifong has at various times said the exam showed " vaginal trauma " and at other times " swelling ."
Which I have said is consistent with a lot of medical conditions unrelated to rape- STD's, infection, hormonal changes, etc.
The nurse is going to be DennisFonged on the witness stand.
It's interesting to note that we have not heard about any injuries to the anal area or the external genitalia from the brutal oral assault.
From the AV's description of her attack- I'm surprised that she was able to walk or sit down.
It seems her occupation has afforded her the phyical stamina and endurance to resist injury through frequently repeated practice of said acts.
