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.

They've filed this motion, mintues ago.
And they are saying that Nifong HAS this information and did NOT turn it over.

Seriously, everyone's focused on Kim's amazing expanding story (she ain't no Clinton the more she talks the more she'll contradict herself) but I'm more interested in the 2nd DNA test. Question: Assume for a minute that Nifong is a straight-shooter and acting in good faith (hard not to laugh as I write this) why would he have indicted the two lacrosse players prior to getting the 2nd DNA test back? If the DNA is from players other than the two 100% ID'd players and the 90% ID's player, Nifong will either have to dismiss and charge someone else (essentially impeaching his his own eyewitness) OR stick with the charges and have the defense use the DNA to impeach his eyewitness. Have any of the pro-prosecution taking heads tried to explain this?

Thanks for the heads-up, Howlin.
So basically that "excessive thirst" that someone keeps referring to is just a drunk wanting to get drunker.
Big surprise. /sarc
