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.

Doesn't look like Nifong's pandering for the black vote has paid off.

Despite Simeon's efforts and the Nifong-approved sweetheart bail deal for Kim, the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People did not endorse Nifong.

Nifong:

"Good evening ladies and gentlement of the Press. My presence here is to announce that I am dropping charges against all persons involved or suspected of being involved in this matter. My conclusion is that no rape could have occurred in the time line given by the AV. And my motivation is to save my sorry ass."

I'm going to go open a bottle of wine and enjoy, however I think she'll be talking about the kid that was released today in Aruba..

Greta might have it on though....and I'm hoping Megan Kendall has her interview with the AV's father that she reported on.
