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.

The information we have from public records does not say she went to the dope center or the hospital, or that she did.

Take your pick.

I noted immediately AFTER the parking lot situation that we could speculate.

Are you saying that they have a "drunk" individual who they have to pry out of the car and the cops don't run a check on the vehicle???

I'd still have to know how tall she was, etc. Even quite tall women who look strong simply don't have the pecs to do the job.

Kim was there and you weren't.

Neither were you. To ask, even rhetorically, if these guys were homosexuals is to add still another smear to the accused.

The list includes two separate 911 calls.

I am aware of that and so is schooter. You're the one who asked if the security guard made a 911 call.

I have another question. If these guys committed a crime would they leave her purse and ID around for police to find? I'm guessing she left them on the steps or lawn when passed out. The guys brought them in later.

I also truly believe if any of these guys did anything their lawyers would have advised them to claim some kind of consensual sex--instead they ALL say no one touched her.

You are busy commenting on the woman's character, not the facts. Even whores are entitled to not be raped, and all women have a right to not be drugged.

Do you think she tried to dump AV before she got to Kroger so she wouldn't be involved?

Sure sounds like it Krodg.

Uhh, the list of items seized from the house includes a makeup kit with ID. Could be Kim had no address for the other woman and didn't know where to take her.

Could be. Betcha' they got fingerprints on the jar/tube/whatever. This is an item to watch for as this case progresses.

We sure don't.

What was she doing while waiting for skank#1 to show up? Maybe having a drink or 2 with the guys?

What was doing while seperated from skank#1 in the house? (I don't believe that ever happened)

Why did it take her so long to get to Kroger?

Where did she go after skank#1 was pried out of her car?

uUhh--since she made the first 911 call herself to complain about the racial epithets, why couldn't she make the next one herself? Why did she need the security guard's help and claim she picked the girl up on the road? Kim is a liar, sorry.

Most of my minions have deserted me, so looks like you're elected. I'll give you warning the next time I bring wine into the computer room. LOL

The time-line for the drugs to take effect for all the major date-rape drugs is SHORT. Not like seconds, but very short. With one of them there are reports of intense thirst occurring in some people almost instantly.

There are a gazillion reports on the net about date rape drugs, their effects, etc., etc.

This may have been somebody's idea of a joke.

Did Kim say in her AP interview that she didn't drink at all or just that night? I know she claims she was the only sober one at the party, though the Kroger guard states she smelled of alcohol.

She's hiding something, I tells ya. :)

#221 :

"The information we have from public records does not say she went to the dope center or the hospital, or that she did."

You could argue that "dope center" is not the same as "Dope Hospital", but that's just semantics.

You're trolling.

In this case, no evidence a whore was raped. And no evidence a woman was drugged.
