Date-rape drug allegation in Duke case
Newsday (NY) ^ | April 24, 2006 | BY JENNIFER SMITH

Posted on 04/24/2006 3:51:25 AM PDT by Perdogg

The exotic dancer who accused members of the Duke University lacrosse team of raping her at a party may have been slipped a date-rape drug, according to an interview with the second dancer in the May 1 issue of Newsweek that appeared on stands today.

Newsweek also reported that a defense attorney said some DNA evidence had been found under the accuser's fingernails, but that the first round of DNA testing - which did not incriminate any of the 46 players swabbed - was inconclusive about identity. Results from a second round of tests are expected this week.

The accuser, a 27-year-old black college student and mother, said she was raped and beaten by white students on March 13 after performing for them at a house party. Two lacrosse team members, Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, and Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J., were charged Tuesday. Defense lawyers have maintained their clients' innocence, offering a detailed timeline and time-stamped photos from the party that they say throw the woman's story into doubt.

How many men keep KY jelly...they keep condoms...woman carry the jelly I would think....
____________

Yes. KY in general is a product women buy and use for lubrication. I guess, maybe gay men too.
Not tyring to be funny...but you know!

I doubt young straight guys have KY in their medicine cabinet.

One would think the search warrant would call out booze, drinking glasses, drug containers and the like if Kim had told the drug story to the police early on.

They did find some sort of drug container, but they were not searching for it when they wrote out the warrant.

hmmm...one article says she spent 2 nights in jail. But it also says she was arrested after giving her deposition.

I guess if the cops bought her story of being a good samaritan, they might have gotten her name and such, but didn't run a check on her.

Yep, I'm slow. The queen never could type and now that I've spilled something on my keyboard, it takes me even longer to mess up.

consistent with the events as reported by Kim and others at the house at that time

Now THAT'S funny! One thing this dumb accountant knows is that Kim has been everything BUT consistent!

Ketamine in alcohol is more consistent with what has been reported than the others.

Absent the alcohol many victims of ketamine exhibit violent behavior instead.

So they wanted to hynotize the stipper so she would strip because after all, whoever heard of a stripper stripping.

This whole scenario is cooked up and will not hold up in court.

There's a reference on this thread to various events and when they happened. In fact, it even refers to the pictures and their date/time stamp (whether accurate or not).

The list includes two separate 911 calls.

If the driver was commiting a moving violation, I suppose the cops would check her out. However, I'm not seeing any law that the driver is violating ~ besides, wasn't she outside her car on private property (Kroger parking lot) when the cops got involved?

It was picked up with her makeup bag , nails and cell phone. Who knows if the ky was picked up from the floor like her nails or in the guys medicine cabinet. The document doesn't specify. Common sense says it's a female's item.
BTW..Chrystal is an ESCORT, that's why she needs KY.

So now you're saying 'when the cops got involved' but earlier you stated that Kim drove Crystal to the 'dope hospital' and then to the hospital. Did the police just follow along? Get your allegations straight. YOU aren't being consistent.

Even in my sheltered and isolated state of existence (wrapped up in a warm cocoon, never reading the newspapers, chasing away the neighborhood chillun', all that) I know date rape victims, and I read about it on the net, and watch news stories about it on TV.

Gotta' be pretty common if I know victims, eh?!
