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.

We're trying to figure that out. No one has actually seen the motion that was filed yet. Howlin is looking for it.

Does anyone know if they can get her military records? Or would they be sealed? I heard that she was given a general rather than honorable discharge, would a drug/alcohol problem be related to that? I know little to nothing about military procedure.

Sorry--that post was a quote from the NJ StarLedger. It was some kind of editorial. I didn't post the link very well.

She said the lacrosse team said that they shoved $100 under the door........she said that was a "pure T lie"

How does she know that's what the lacrosse team said? Did the cops tell her.... We don't know that yet do we???

But it sure makes sense now what the neighbor claims to have heard someone say "it's only $100".... I bet the boys thought they were gonna get some more dancing....

Coupled with the "they ripped themselves" off statement... it all seems to become more clear now in my mind....

She would have to sign the famous Form 180 to release her military records but as I understand it she was discharged because she has round heels.

You can get certain parts under FOIA. One has to sign a form saying what there wanted for etc. Not all parts will be released.

is it correct that reports stripper wants to pull out of the case and has maybe claimed rape before?

From what I've gleaned in reading the posts, yes.

That I don't know......Kim is so full of lies...she has said that she wasn't in the same room with the AV all the time so does not know if a rape occured...I'm willing to bet those two were never separated......and now it looks like she was in the br with the AV....

This is one story on the DA's request for more DNA tests ...

More DNA Tests Planned In Duke Lacrosse Rape Case

POSTED: 7:31 pm EDT April 11, 2006
UPDATED: 1:01 am EDT April 12, 2006

DURHAM, N.C. -- More DNA tests are being conducted in an alleged rape case involving Duke University lacrosse players, Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong said Tuesday.

The day after attorneys representing lacrosse team members announced that tests conducted by state forensics technicians found no genetic link between the players and the woman accusing them of rape, Nifong told a community forum that more tests need to be completed before the investigation is complete.
