Hmmm...Wonder what/who caused the N&O to finally perform some real journalistic investigation?
;-)
By golly, they've almost got it all down. Halledamnleujah!
You guy did the work. The N&O will take the credit. But just maybe this will be over for the boys soon.
It's definitely a big deal when the local rag finally publishes what the blogosphere has known for weeks! And the headline, great! Lotta people online bitch about the MSM, and belittle their belated attempts to finally cover a story, perhaps without thinking that the masses will finally see what 'we' have known for weeks/months.
One question - do we know just how quickly the 'crime scene' investigation was done? Wondering how long after the alleged crime that these 2 items were found. I'd heard of the towel, but didn't recall the info about 'yet another player'.
From the article, last 2-3 paragraphs:
David Evans' semen was found on a towel in a hallway outside another bathroom along with the DNA of an unidentified person. *snip*
The semen of yet another player who lives at the house was found on the floor of the bathroom where the rape allegedly occurred.
Mods, please consider moving this from Chat Purgatory to News/Activism. Certainly it's more newsworthy than the 10,000th story about a bar banning smoking, or those "please pray for my grandma" threads.
Okay. Now this is just enough. Isn't there anyone within the legal community who can put a stop to this travesty?
Just wanted to make sure you saw this!

Nifong also spoke of reaction to the case, saying much of what has been published has been negative. He said much of that reaction is not based on fact and pointed to details of recent legal filings filed by defense attorney Kirk Osborn.We know what it is now don't we Mikey?
"By leaking things out like this, they can keep the case in the headlines -- see all these trucks that are still around here waiting for something to happen -- and kind of frame the case their own way," Nifong said. "And say things like, 'according to my timeline' -- which of course, they don't know what my timeline is."
Since we have exhaustively documented that a 30 minute could not have occurred between 12:05ish and 12:26ish. (even less for RS) Does Mikey now think the 30 minute rape occurred between 11:20ish and 11:39ish (AV's last call B4 arriving), between 11:39ish and 11:50 (Bissey), or was it from 11:50 to 12:00 at which time she began her dance with Kim?
Did she arrive at 11:20, run to the BR, get raped, make and receive a few phone calls, run back out to the car just in time to walk in with Kim at 11:50 like nothing happened? That's some timeline Mikey.
