DURHAM, N.C. - The attorney for one of two Duke lacrosse players charged with raping a stripper demanded on Monday that prosecutors turn over the accusers medical, legal and education records for use in attacking her credibility.
Kirk Osborn, who represents player Reade Seligmann, said the material will provide rich sources of information for impeaching the complaining witnesses.
Osborn also asked a judge to hold a pretrial hearing to determine if the complaining witness is even credible enough to provide reliable testimony.

And all I can see is RevAl doing his "stand up, community" thing in the name of skin color. That's not was Rosa Parks was about. She was about honorable matters and decent people.
Nifong also said that he doesn't plan to seek any more indictments in the case on May 1, when the grand jury meets again.
How about posting the pertinent links, etc here?
Oops! Forgot to mention that some may have no idea what you are saying about "history."
I'm curious to see how that "excuse" gets sorted as it appears the groundwork massaging is being laid via MSM... "Just In Case."
'Night, y'all, rest well.
The pages in my history just show the thread was pulled.It is a shame to lose all the info. Maybe they thought too many posts would have to be removed.
You mean CGM hasn't picked lucky number three she wants to be 100% sure of? If Durham voters pick this guy, I'll be shocked.
By the pickings of my nose, the left is going for a "civil war". (Summing all the latest "developments" in lots of news). And they will lose. They are walking right into a bigger "snap" than they've ever known before.
It's time. It'll be ugly. People will get hysterical. But, it is time to have it.
Oh, I know! Perish the thought!
I thought I had been banned here earlier when I checked my pings.....and nothing!
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- The attorney for one of two Duke lacrosse players charged with raping a stripper demanded today that prosecutors turn over the accuser's medical, legal and education records for use in attacking her credibility.
Kirk Osborn, who represents player Reade Seligmann, said the material will provide "rich sources of information for impeaching the complaining witnesses."
Osborn also asked a judge to hold a pretrial hearing to "determine if the complaining witness is even credible enough to provide reliable testimony."
"This request is based on the fact that the complaining witness has a history of criminal activity and behavior, which includes alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and dishonesty, all conduct which indicate mental, emotional and/or physical problems, which affect her credibility as a witness," the defense said in court papers.
I remember something on the other thread that the word is out on the identity of defendant #3.
Do we know who that is? Where's Howlin or Locomotive Breath? Or another Freeper in the Durham area.... What's the word on the street or in the courthouse?
I have been on threads which got pulled; not many or often; but it's always disappointing when they get pulled.
I understanding the pulling tho, there's this thin line... and once it begins to be crossed.. it gets beyond wild. It gets hateful.
I think there are people who deliberately set "events" and "threads" on fire and for that very purpose and endgoal.
I heard that too...but no one seems to know who it is. I haven't seen a name although some were guessing McFayden because of the email.
Who is the woman at the center of the Duke scandal?
A post yesterday said folks in "Edens" have a good idea. McFadyen's was the only other room searched. Unless, that was a reference to the lacrosse players in Edens.
"fish expedition"
MEANT
FishING.
Probably because of the questions the police were asking during their "visit" to Edens dorm. The police were reported to be asking the other students in the dorm questions regarding whether certain people were or were not at the party.
The police were probably focusing their question on one or two names (the guy the AV is "90% sure of") and that's how the Edens folk got the idea of who it is.
