Megan Kendall says defenses sources are saying that CGM had sex with the driver the night of the alledged rape.
She also said that the prosecuter claims to have "good news" for their case. We have heard that before.
If anyone gets additional information on this, please provide links.
Thanks
John McCann, the "voice of black Durham", has apparently received negative reaction from his op-ed saying "the boys had it coming, even if she lied".
http://www.heraldsun.com/opinion/columnists/mccann/
...that's "how" rather than "who" blacks and whites come together.
I am guessing a prior police report where they mentioned the money.
She claims the LAX boys robbed her in her affidavit apparently as part of this assault. She must have, or they wouldn't have had her money on the search warrant.
The second warrant says CGM was robbed of $400 immediately after the rape.
Goes to credibility? Shows the boys not only didn't rape her, but didn't rob her, either.
Or the boys can bring it up in the civil suit.
Yes, they have, but it's easy for them to overlook their own hypocrisy anytime they wish, but most especially when they have the opportunity to bash upper middle-class whites who aren't on the black victimhood team.
I suspect it is her brother, else there would have been no reason for the attention. The thing is, even though most assuredly everybody in Durham knows the false accuser is Crystal Gail Mangum, none of the media will actually use her name, so the relevance of the story is lost on most outside readers.
But it is very, very interesting that they published the story. I'm sure the Mangum parents are just livid, as would be the race-baiters at NCCU, since they couldn't help but know the whole town knows Crystal is the false accuser and the name is out there. So, even if this guy isn't related, people will conclude that he is, lol!
Yes, well, I'm sure they can bring it up, but how long will they be allowed to persist in that line of questioning since it doesn't relate to the charges before the court?
Ask CGM on the stand if she was robbed during the assault.
If she says yes, it's in.
If she says no, it's in again because she already said she was robbed in her affidavit.
She might end up in Kansas, but I don't know about Waking up.
At this point, with these Defense attorneys digging deeper, a quick dismissal may be the best case scenario for Durham Power (& Durham Justice system).
Baker, Nifong, & company are, to say the least on their heels.
Do you guys remember the black homocide detective that was on FOX multiple times? No, not Ted Williams. This guy has a mustache and is younger.
He said on National TV TWICE, that from inside the Durham PD he's hearing a player is cooperating with the DA.
I wonder how many of these lies will be uncovered before it's all over. I think the Durham Power structure will say anything to the Media off the record to achieve their goals.
HI perdogg thanks for keeping me pinged. I have been out of town for a week and I am way behind. Do we have one thread we are discussing all the current stuff or is it several different ones.
Thanks :)
I'm sure it's become evident to the authorities that Kim stole it instead so that line of investigation gets dropped like a hot potato.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
You nailed it! The DPD/DA couldn't figure a way - remotely feasible - to say otherwise. Plus, they eliminate that entire line of inquiry from the Defense. They don't want the Defense to walk in everyone that's been ripped off by Lil Kim.
That would be devastating
Do a search under keyword: dukelax, or duke.
If it is her half-brother or cousin, the effect is really still the same.
If the Defense attorneys or the Media, alerted by them, starts saying, look the AV's own cousin is out there, free, after serious violent crimes against women; witnesses have been murdered, etc. - AND look how the Durham PD/DA have treated it. Little or No interest, No Posters, No Crimestoppers, No calls to the Media for help, or press conferences. Why the disparity in treatment/investigation if the DPD/DA care about violence towards women?
I think this is a direct reaction to the Media coverage of the victim's family in the case where the 4 men were executed. Baker/Nifong wanted to know immediately, WHAT ELSE is out there? What else can be used against us in a PR battle to illustrate we are treating these players, this Duke case, differently.
This was strictly preemptive, in my opinion.
They reach out to a sympathetic black woman reporter in Durham that has been in contact with the AV's family from the beginning.
They now have that article laminated and recorded ready to use it as exhibit number 1 to show they are treating that case seriously and are aggressive in all instances of violence towards women, etc. It'll work with the News Corpse too.
But he said he was playing with his 'game boy' while she was modeling the lingerie. Perhaps that was a euphemism.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
You could write volumes about all the unbelievable stuff we've been asked to believe in this case.
2 hardened convict strippers started crying on stage when someone called them a name?
The AV just happened to be the purest stripper ever on earth and she was new to the whole thing.
Which one of the strippers said they had no idea how to get tips?
The trauma of Rape explains how a woman can say she was beaten, gang-raped, kicked & strangled and fled the house to save her life, when there are pictures showing her stopped and smiling leaving the house.
All Distric Attorneys are pure of heart and have good intentions. We must assume that regardless of the evidence.
The only racism or hate that is mentioned, explored, or contemplated is white racism towards blacks. Let's all suspend life experience and make out blacks do not have such
feeling, emotions, or motivations.
that's just a few
Megyn Kendall, again, tonight referred to the Prosecution leak that the DA has received "GOOD NEWS".
For discussion purposes, does anyone think this reported "Good News" may relate to the hair we heard about?
That black woman from Durham, Peterson, repeatedly has mentioned this HAIR on the Radio and she SAYS it was found in the AV's vaginal area during the SANE exam. For what that is worth. I've heard her mention it twice.
We heard reports that there was a rootless hair. Supposedly, no DNA was extracted, but several Nationally known forensic scientists have said there is a procedure for testing rootless hairs that does, many times, return DNA evidence. These experts said that the next step would be to test any hair to this testing
The Durham Herald Sun PRINTED an article reporting this HAIR. It was printed on May 11th. Here is the link, but, interestingly, the link is no longer any good.

Here is that article from another web-site where it was pasted in:

DURHAM -- Tissue found under the fingernail of an exotic dancer who claimed she was raped at a Duke University lacrosse party may match a player who was there, SEVERAL WELL PLACED SOURCES said Wednesday.
Analyzing the tissue, scientists concluded it came from the same genetic pool and was "consistent" with the bodily makeup of one of 46 lacrosse players who gave DNA samples for testing, the sources said.
At the same time, scientists ruled out a possible match with any of the other 45 students, according to the sources.
If accurate, the fingernail tissue match would offer the first DNA evidence potentially linking the dancer and an alleged attacker.
But because a complete DNA pattern was not obtained from the tissue, it was not possible to match it with the nearly 100 percent certainty that DNA results usually offer, the sources added.
The dancer told police she clawed at three attackers as they raped and sodomized her for 30 minutes during the March 13-14 lacrosse house party at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.
Police later recovered several stick-on acrylic fingernails from a trashcan, and the tissue in question was found under one of those nails, the sources said.
District Attorney Mike Nifong was said to be away from his office all day Wednesday and could not be reached for comment.
The State Bureau of Investigation did an initial round of DNA testing in the lacrosse case. But according to defense attorneys, the SBI found no DNA from the 46 lacrosse players in or on the dancer's body, on her clothing and belongings or under her fingernails.
But Nifong decided to hire a private laboratory to do additional testing. He has said he expects a final report from that lab by Monday.
A DNA expert said Wednesday that one way a DNA report sometimes says DNA is "consistent" with a particular person is when there's a partial DNA profile of fewer than all 13 genetic markers commonly used in testing kits.
In that case, the number of markers available determines the reliability of the match, said Theodore D. Kessis, owner of Applied DNA Resources in Columbus, Ohio.
"It really depends then upon how partial is that profile," he said in a telephone interview. "A lot of people are of the opinion, including myself, that if it's supposed to test for 13, it should get 13, and something less than 13 is starting to hinge on the reliability of the result.
"When you get down into the two or three partial match, you get numbers that might be 1 in 6, it might be 1 in 10, so what happens then is the question of what's the probative value of the report. ... People play the lottery on worse odds."
So far, two lacrosse players have been indicted on rape charges: Duke sophomores Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty.
The alleged victim reportedly picked those two out of a photo lineup and identified them with what she claimed was 100 percent certainty.
Nifong said earlier he was pursuing the possibility of another indictment, although reports indicated the dancer was able to identify a third person with only 90 percent certainty. WRAL-TV, citing a transcript of the photo identification session the dancer had with police, reported Wednesday that she indicated a fourth player also may have been involved in assaulting her.
Tissue found under the dancer's fingernails was consistent with the third man's DNA pattern, sources told The Herald-Sun on Wednesday.
In addition, the sources said a MALE PUBIC HAIR had been linked to the case. But because the hair lacked a root, no identifiable DNA was obtained from it, they said. The only thing that could be determined was that the hair came from a WHITE MAN, the sources said.
They did not pinpoint where the hair was found. But when police investigate rape cases, they normally comb through the alleged victim's pubic hair to determine whether male hairs are intermingled.
On DNA from hair, Kessis agreed that a common method for extracting and analyzing DNA, called nuclear DNA, usually requires tissue from a hair root. Another method, however, called mitochondrial DNA, can obtain DNA from hair shafts through DNA sequencing. That method yields results that are "not quite as probative," with matching probabilities typically between 1 in 200 and 1 in 4,000 to 5,000.
In another development Wednesday, defense attorney Bill Cotter obtained a monthlong postponement of Finnerty's preliminary appearance in Durham County Superior Court. The appearance had been scheduled for May 18. But Judge Ron Stephens granted a delay until the week of June 19.
Cotter said he needed the delay because he had not yet received enough "discovery material" from the District Attorney's Office.
Although the lawyer declined to be specific, such material normally includes things like police notes, medical reports and statements made to officers by victims and suspects.
So far, Seligmann has not requested a postponement of his May 18 preliminary court appearance.
Finnerty and Seligmann are free under $400,000 bonds, paid by certified checks, as they await further developments in the case.
My comments:
This is for discussion purposes only. This hair may or may not exist. You may experience a decline in libido if you ponder this subject.
