The statement that he has never spoken to Crystal about the case was what stood out for me. If I was a Durhamite, I'd have to be saying, "WTF?" How much money has this case cost the city/county so far? And he hasn't even spoken to the accused about the case??? Hello! People of Durham! Wake up!!
I forgot to say: This solidifies as fact, for me, that he pursued this case STRICTLY for personal gain (read: positive election results). At one point in time, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I thought it possible that, at the outset, he did truly believe a rape occurred. But now, there is not even the smallest possibility that this was the case, IMO.
