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.

Good one - worthy of a DFU award!
-----However, makes me wonder why that poster had "space aliens" on his mind?-----
Um, that person would be ME.
Having read your speculative "hi-tech super-double-secret created-in-Duke-Chem-lab" theory of how these ingenius lacrosse players could've pulled off the untraceable rape...
I was offering my own theory...one of comparable likelihood...that perhaps space aliens had provided the magic condoms.
Or better yet...maybe space aliens were actually impersonating the lacrosse players. As you assuredly know, space aliens do NOT leave any DNA when they rape humans.
Hey...just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it isn't possible.
What was in post 671 that got pulled? FR ME PLEASE!!!!
Referring to Carlings sig...
Something just occurred to me? Y'all remember how NG was last Tuesday after the arrests? All wild and foaming at the mouth...
Do you suppose she realized what had happenend - that the defense had called Nifong's bluff and didn't bite on the attempted extortion scheme by $imeon and crew?
Just a crazy thought on my part....
Good evening, TK,
Word has it that the AV may not want to testify ... though we've heard that before.
Current court filing by the defense, Osborn:

And, there's more on that AP interview with Kim. I'll find you a recap.
See post #683
Thanks, I had a feeling it was a movie quote...
Look, when the firing of the commie spy was announced Friday I went looking for Liberal blog sites where the writer had mentioned the "secret underground CIA prisons" and "Mary McCarthy" in the same paragraph with the idea in mind that she had been a primary source for their understanding of the topic and simply could not fail to let their little buddies know that they knew that she told them. Kind of a coup counting deal on the left I guess.
There were HUNDREDS of them.
In most cases they tried to cover their tracks (and the code words of greeting to their Leninist masters) by referencing an earlier Mary McCarthy's accusation that a leftwingnut named Lilian Hellman told lies, even to the words and and the.
So, when it comes to this situation and the idea that maybe we have a date rape drug at play in the picture, it simply occurred to me that someone earlier might well have had a "guilty conscience" from having secret knowledge of what actually happened and let it "slip out".
Glad to hear your conscience is not guilty.
We don't need any guilty Freepers, Fur Shur.
Whoeeeeeee, this gets gooder and gooder, lol. However very sad and unfortunate for those being accused.
And, there's more on that AP interview with Kim. I'll find you a recap.
Thank you very much. Both menaces to society need to be locked away quickly.
Credit to KneelBeforeZod for the graphics!
Will there be a Nany Grace thread?
LOL!! Looks like she ain't even gonna go there...
LMAO! Good one Howlin!
Will have a Nancy Grace transcript if Miss Nasty (I mean Miss Nancy) touches on the Duke case tonight.
Not mine. KneelBeforeZod is the proud owner of that one.
What would Nancy and Greta do if there was no Aruba/Holloway case to discuss? Wonder if Kimberly Gilfoyl is still in ARuba?
She said the lacrosse team said that they shoved $100 under the door........she said that was a "pure T lie"......of course, the police report is looking for $20 bills, right?
But she's put herself in the bathroom now!

Kim also made comments that she didn't "see" the AV putting on nail polish, and wouldn't comment on something else ... can't recall at the moment ... need the transcript.
Dan Abrams called Kim "a piece of work."
Brodhead needs to resign. He threw a whole team under the bus because of apparently false accusations.
Meanwhile, the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau released details of a national poll conducted last week, showing the city's image hasnt yet been tarnished by the constant negative publicity generated by the case.
Almost two-thirds of the people surveyed by Opinion Research Inc. said they hadn't even read or heard news about Durham in the past two weeks, and only 6 percent said their opinion of the city had declined recently.
The CVB plans to conduct more tracking polls in the coming weeks to continue gauging the impact of the ongoing case on the city's image.
