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.

Looks like you're still of the opinion that Duke is something less than an intellectual powerhouse.

Maybe it's just me here in the burbs of the midwest, but when I hear Duke University, the first things I think of is basketball, then medicine ....

But I guess I can see how an enlightened person from a sprawling metropolis would think first of condom research.... I guess....

Did you read down the next 3 or 4 posts on that thread (now that you've found it)?

Out of the blue one of the posters mentions "space aliens" as in: "Unless, of course...they'd been in contact with space aliens. "

I now find that most interesting since that's an early thread, and that happens to be one of the symptoms of having taken one of the three most commonly used date rape drugs?

I'd taken a number of the posts in that particular thread to be coming from people fairly close to one or more of the players (that was before the indictments), and they were anxious to defend the team against the then general charge of rape.

However, makes me wonder why that poster had "space aliens" on his mind?

"mauwiyah"

Yep he's the guy with the chem lab idea. He's been run off a couple of other threads by ridicule.
He's an odd sort of troll, just throws goofy ideas out and when actually debated changes the subject and makes another silly logic leap.

Just digging through the net and finding published research on "materials", Duke looks to be one of the heavy hitters.

Ken, how about the non-latex condom thesis ~ or, once again, distasteful as it might be, the broomstick thesis.

That could be because Kim actually did the talking; therefore she was in the position to get a good whiff.

Yes, but Kim said she refused her drink and yet the security guard smelled alcohol on her.

The magic condom theory.

What would really be cool is if they had a condom that could do a blood and fertility test of the partners and only deploy if needed...

Phase two would be a condom that did a psychoanalysis of the partners and render the male impotent if it detected any inappropriate tendencies....

Sorry, I'm wasting the bandwidth.... I'll stop....

Maybe she should have been arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance. Did the police officer check the contents of her purse?

What does the toxic substance screen say? The other dancer's statement is pure speculation.

Okay, now you've done it, I'm laughing out loud!

BTW I'd love to have a bathroom big enough to handle 3 six foot, 200 lb guys,and a semi-comatose 150lb woman who can talk on the phone , put on hoodies, and jackets all at the same time!! (and not leave any DNA)---That's a very special bathroom LOL
