| To me this is one of the most telling pieces of this story. It seems to show where the prosecutors are with this case. They gave Time this article thinking it would blow Reade's alibi. I put part of the Time article up against Dan Abram's tearing it apart. My question is could the prosecutors in this case be as naive as it appears here? |

The Abrams' Report
|
|
| The crucial photo was taken, defense sources say, at approximately 12:41 a.m., and shows the accuser calmly being helped into a car to leave the party. Taken together with other time-stamped photos from earlier in the evening, it is crucial to the defense argument that there was not enough time that night for a rape to occur. In fact, prosecutors will argue, that photo actually shows the accuser being dropped off at the party, not leaving it, and that it was taken well before midnight. In that photo, the accuser is shown in a black or dark-colored car, which matches a description of the car defense and prosecution sources say dropped her off at the party. The person in the driver seat of that car allegedly is not Kim Roberts, whom prosecutors will argue drove the accuser away from the party after the alleged rape. Prints taken from digital cell phone cameras have time stamps, but can be altered, according to digital photography experts. Only the cameras themselves have true embedded time data to correspond with photos taken. "If the prosecutor can discredit that photo, or one photo, their meanings are all suspect," another lawyer in Durham says. But one defense attorney scoffed at the notion the photo's time stamp was altered or that prosecutors could argue confusion over the two cars. "If it doesn't come out before the trial, if there is a trial,irrefutable evidence will show the photo is correct and the navy blue car is what matters." Abrams also said that the prosecutors went to NBC17 to get copies of the photos, that they did not go to him, I wonder if they only had the cropped images and not what Abrams showed during this show. |
This image is the one that has been published around, The one that Dan showed in this show, was not cropped and it showed all of her leg w/ bruises and cuts as well as he being barefooted |
One particular photo in question, this one, of the alleged victim in a car, now presumably the car of the second dancer, Kim Roberts. But according to “TIME” magazine, prosecutors will argue that the alleged victim is actually being helped out of the car. That the picture shows her arriving, not leaving. And that it is not the second dancer, Kim Roberts in the car. All right. Mr. Fulton had you been able to see the pictures as closely as we‘ve just laid them out before writing the article? GREG FULTON, “TIME” MAGAZINE: Yes, sir, I have. We do have our own set so to speak. And I‘ve seen them published elsewhere as well, yes. ABRAMS: They actually haven‘t been published anywhere else apart from here, but the right shoe, the fact that there‘s nothing on her right foot, that wasn‘t mentioned in the article, not relevant? FULTON: Relevant indeed. You make a very good argument to open the show. ... ABRAMS: I just can‘t see them making this argument. I mean it just - for example, you write in the article, the accuser is shown in a black or dark-colored car, which matches the description of the car defense and prosecution sources say dropped her off at the party. The problem is that Kim Roberts, the second dancer, also has a dark Honda.
