Nothing wrong with cynicism as abb and Shaw said. Many if not most people do the right things because they fear their neighbors, the public via government or God will punsih them if they don't. The problem in that that fear is not enough for a worisome segment of the population.

So I don't really care why Roberts is telling what seems to be the truth to me. I don't care that Roberts fuzz here statements while potentially under Nifong's thumb any more than I care what US POWs say while in enemy hands. All I care is that for whatever reason, Roberts seems to be telling the truth and she basically has from the start.

Imagine this case if:

1. Roberts had not said it was a crock from the start.

2. Roberts decided that Nifong had so much on her that she would corroberate Mangum's story?

The N&O type smear press coverage of this story would be continuing today. Grace, etal would be slamming these guys on TV every night. The inconsistencies in Mangum stories would be bandaged over by Roberts agreeing with whatever version Nifong decided to go with. The defendants ONLY hope would be that Mangum would be such a poor witness that the jury would not believe her.

Again, I don't care why she is telling the truth. I do care very much that she has looked at the situation and found telling the truth in her best interest for whatever reason.

I still don't believe her. She knows exactly what did or didn't happen in that house. Think back to the 30 minute version...Kim KNOWS that couldn't have been, yet it took her until last month to talk to 60 minutes after she said it "could have happened." Then there was the nonsense about crying to the parents...What was that? Now Crystal was incoherent until she said she wanted to get bruised up? C'mon! I don't think the defense has anything to do with this skank. They're too smart. This looks like a PR campaign.

None of what she or Crystal (both liars) says mitigates the lack of DNA for an oral/anal/vaginal rape by three men. Even if Kim said she was raped too, it doesn't matter. There should be physical evidence. There is no case here. With so many being acquitted because of DNA evidence, it makes no sense to have convictions without it. /rant
