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.

Dan Abrams called Kim "a piece of work."

Kim is a piece alright, but I would not call it work.

>>I'm going to go open a bottle of wine and enjoy...
Hey, I just hacked the little cardboard insert out of one of those 5L cartons with the little plastic spigot.

I find that they are amusing little wines without pretense or attitude. And one carton can get you through a whole news cycle with plenty of margin to spare for Breaking News!<<

Especially since "our" little friend is back....see post #749.

Bednobs and broomsticks anyone? Condom research updates? Space alien, condom wearing rapists?

"Bully" is a great term for NG. The woman is a complete disgrace.

item #28 "Pills" were among items seized.

Not named & not stated where they came from. I assume if they were in a labeled bottle, then it would be stated. Curious if Nifong knows who they belong to (i.e. slut 1 or slut 2)

Looks like Nancy will ignore the Duke case.

And then she goes to the BTK case and is upset that she could not afford cable tv in her earlier days.

What a loser Nasty Grace is!

NG playing the poor little me victim card will not get a tear from me.

(Lots of us have been poor. Try having 5 children in college at the same time as my husband and I did. (2 of them were in graduate school; 3, in undergraduate school).

Careful. The merlot I bought last week leaks! Not sure if it was my fault or theirs.

Yep; and I wonder if part of that reduction wasn't that she stayed out of trouble.
