Lacrosse players' defense: Documents being withheld

Richard "Belief of it oppresses me already" Broadhead is a complete jerk. He has never said one thing that was favorable about the team and never said one word in defense of the players charged. He never will either. What a rat.

Based on your experience, if a prostitutue brought in $1000 for the night, what would her percentage be?

Wow -- leave no stone unturned! ;)

Wow...
one of the crimes:

4/26/04 child molestation
(bottom of page 4)
Witness?
Dear old Dad? Boyfriend?
Wonder who she was living with in 2004. Gotta look that up.

2111 CHARLES ST, DURHAM NC 27707-2907, DURHAM COUNTY (Dec 1999 - Jan 2006)

530 N HARDEE ST APT D1, DURHAM NC 27703-1523, DURHAM COUNTY (Sep 1997 - Jan 2005)

The child abuse charge interests me as well due to my pet theory that CGM acts the way she does because she was sexually abused as a child by a male relative or close family friend.

What does the "rape reported at 3457 Hillsborough road on or about the same date" have to do with this case?

[I want to know]

3457 Hillsborough Road is Kroger's address.

As I thought, the motion is far more persuasive then the watered down version in the papers. In most courts, civil or criminal, failing to turn over documents after months and months, is grounds for dismissal or sanctions. This is simply wholesale stonewalling. No excuse.

Great work at liestoppers--new motion to compel discovery--

http://liestoppers.blogspot.com/

Among the new details to emerge:

There are VHS tapes of at least two of the ID sessions– the one held for Kim (the second dancer) was not done until May 11– which is AFTER the indictments!

There is a cache of internal police emails about the case, but these were never turned over to the defense. (The defense found out
about this email collection on their own while rummaging through the DPD files, but it still hasn’t been turned over)

Nifong (as of the date of the motion) STILL had not produced the tox report (though he told judge Smith he would)

The AV was involved in at least four police probes:

DUI — 2000
Larceny — 2000
Family/Minor — 2000
Child Molestation — 4-26-2004

She may have been a complaintant in the child molestation probe.

Seems like a great way to run an investigation--indict first, then collect the evidence; arrest every witness in sight to intimidate them; get the defendants trumped-up convictions of their own--I never saw anything like this on Law and Order!

Please see post 333 for the latest motion.

No rape was reported at the Kroger as far as I know.

I just think they should use whatever they like and to hell with those who are "offended" if there's a white privilege connotation to it.

Bingo--and you wonder why folks are worried about a Durham jury. The "hell with them" is sure to help town/gown relations /sarc.

[Neverforget01]

What "good samaritan" puts a staggering half dressed hooker drunk in their car at 1 in the morning? Kim, with her out of state plates, picks up a half dressed drunk, puts her in her car and doesn't call police? Who does that? Wouldn't it have made more sense to go to Krogers, tell security and send police to the woman? No cop in their right mind would believe a sane person would put a random drunk in their car. I don't believe it "happens all the time."

If the cops didn't ask questions of Kim, they weren't doing their job..or they knew her.

[Locomotive Breath]

Well much of Durham has a "to hell with them" attitude towards Duke. Is Duke just supposed to cower in white-guilt fear? Where is Durham's obligation? Do they have one?

[Locomotive Breath]

Funny article recently in the WSJ. Seems the cops like the pants-with-the-waistband-mid-thigh look. The trou tend to drop and trip the perp as they flee from the cops.

Brodhead's arrogance and lack of any understanding what this does to the falsely accused and their families makes him sound like a sociopath.
