LTC,
When the woman had made a previous gang-rape claim, by THREE men, beaten and kicked and gang-raped for a continuing time while being held against her will -- > that's when I knew nothing was going to make Nifong stop. Without considering those reports or claiming to have read the Police reports from that Gang-Rape, Nifong relexively said that it WASN'T RELEVANT. He totally dismissed it without further investigation. I knew then.
Later, the No anal injuries, etc. was huge, but Nifong broadcast for everyone to see back then about the previous rape allegation - that he wasn't interested in evidence or gathering information. Sorta like telling the Defense attorneys that he wasn't interested in evidence that one or more of the suspects where some place else when the woman claimed she was being horrifically assaulted.
