OK. We have the explanation of why Finnerty and Evans. That makes sense. Seligman is still a puzzle. I'm betting the 4th guy wasn't in Durham. Cheshire alluded to that but he could have meant that she said she recognized someone that wasn't there not necessarily fingered him/them (no pun intended).

Something strange about Seligmann's selection is that he was one of the players identified by the captains as not being present at the party, but she picked him anyway. I'm curious if Seligmann perhaps responded to McFadden's email, or something simliar that places him at the party. If the investigators truly believed he wasn't at the party, then I imagine they would have simply ignored his ID like they did the first person she ID'd.

In his report, officer Shelton gives the impression that if CGM had simply given her name and address, then he may have simply driven her home. He also claims that none of the officers knew her.

At 1:33, Shelton attempts to awaken CGM.

At 2:12, we know from the radio transmissions that Shelton requested someone stop by Charles Street and check on the youngun's.

At 2:37, he tells the dispatcher that CGM was on her way to Duke Medical.

So apparently by 2:12, she was already being cooperative enough to give out her address and tell someone (Barfield?) that she had children at home.

Clearly, the defense is correct that since CGM was in officer Barfield's custody for up to an hour and since he is apparently the first person whom she told about the rape, then the discovery should include a written statement from him.
