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.

Double No Way!!

OMG< did you hear that: there's a rumor that she has talked about pulling out of the case!
*Snicker*
AV might pull out of the case?? ROFL
OMG< did you hear that: there's a rumor that she has talked about pulling out of the case!
Heard that....maybe she better re-think her accusations...
If this is so, NG will have to load up with prozac to make her show tonite...
Heard that rumor last week---
Is this a new rumor?
I thought because this is the state's case, she is a witness. Can she back out? If she does, are there consequences for her actions?
you guys have corrupted me---there's too many pulling out jokes rolling around my head .....
If she won't testify, the DA has no case.
If she refuses to testify...the DA has no case..
No, but I'll look.
LOL....GMTA..
OOOO-scary
I thought I double posted.
Hannity discussing case ATT
So they cannot force her to testify? If nothing else, didn't she have a deposition that went to the GJ? There has to be some kind of recourse if she does this.Or maybe not. ;)
And just reading and "hearing" about this sort of thing all the time doesn't mean it happens all the time. Going by that kind of logic, one would think that people win the lottery all the time, since we only hear stories about the winners.
Death threats is the reason
Didn't her family say that earlier? They said that they told her to "stay strong" and that they supported her.
Cannot remember which thread I read that on.
He can't force her to testify if she won't.
