I live real close and I'm am angry. My two best friends are recent Duke Grads and I've spent a lot of time on campus.
I did talk to some friends of the players, the only consistent thing I could get out of them was that they said one dancer arrived drunk or high and that the confrontation was over Money.
I am a Duke Supporter. I didn't trust the Media before this.

There is some "speculation" that the dancing (and the racial and crude comments) maybe on videotape. There was a lot of drinking.
The Defense attorney are VERY confident and one went on local radio and said they can PROVE that one dancer only danced for 3 minutes and then tried to leave with $800.00 Of course, the girls say it was because of racial eptithets that they wanted to leave, but one has a history of ripping off her customers.
If you look at it on its face, these are VERY good Defense attorney (I think two are ranked in top 100), so it's very unusual that they went out so far on a limb and totally ruled out consensual sex. Attorneys have learned the hard way they will get burned by listening to their clients. So, I think the Lawyer's investigators have revealed something that confirms the story or makes it highly unlikely that sex took place.
I think the woman broke her nails while she was struggling to leave with the $800.00, when the took the money, she powered on her phone to call the police and someone knocked the phone out of her hand. It's entirely plausible and just a theory.
In the first 911 call which I'm sure was made by the OTHER Dancer, she says how Angry she is (goes to motive). She tries to link them to another supposed racial crime and in Durham - that's a BIG thing. This explains how she knows the address, when the house is NOT marked.
But, remember, in that first 911 call, she says "I'm not hurt in any way" and "I don't know if it's an emergency". It's also an unusually long 911 call, and police arrive TWO MINUTES later to an empty, dark house. And why drive to a supermarket 2.5 miles away when you have a cell phone - for corroboration? To make it more than a he said, she said?
That would explain why the second dancer lied to police when she told them initially she was NOT the person "Kim" in the background on the 2nd 911 call from Kroger. Later, the Police spokesman were forced to reverse themselves admit they had found that the 2nd dancer was the individual that asked the Kroger security guard to call 911.

There you go getting angry over a he said, she said ...thats all heresay. You arent talking to the actual players because they've been warned not to talk so this doesnt get out of hand. Again I repeat THERE WAS ALOT OF DRINKING GOING ON. Who knows what the real truth is. By slamming this girl you arent doing anything but make yourself look bad. Even if she was high she doesnt deserve to be RAPED. Since you know so much theres a question I have. Is the lacrosse team mostly white? And if so why didnt they hire a white dancer? I have heard there were racial remarks made. Maybe that is why there is so much of a fuss. I am sure these things happen more then we are aware of in all states.
