New York Times ^

Posted on 04/11/2006 8:28:30 PM PDT by Asceticon

The Durham County district attorney said today that the woman who accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her at an off-campus party last month had identified at least one of them in a photo montage last week........... "There was no identification of any member of that lacrosse team until last week," the district attorney, Michael B. Nifong, said at an informational meeting today attended by more than 400 people at North Carolina Central University, where the woman was a student. He was answering a question about why no one has been arrested.

Judging from the "conference" yesterday, not good; on the edge; I have a feeling if he doesn't do something that they approve of, all hell is going to break loose.

Even some of the reporters last night were saying that after they had been to the meeting at the girl's college, they were surprised at how angry the people were. They used words like "tense" and "edgy" and "undercurrent," if you get my drift.

Good question..and if the police responded to the Kroger's 911 call and she was as beat up as claimed, why wasn't an ambulance called..or paramedics..or were they called? I haven't heard any reports of them being called.

Watch a little bit of it; you don't even have to watch it all, just skim through it. You'll get the picture. (Of course, the lady at the end is the best........LOL)

The way I read these articles, it looks like they didn't find any at all.

I think it took at least an hour, but she seems to have told LE at Kroger she'd been raped. Her body then became a "crime scene", and there must be procedures in place to protect the "evidence" from contamination ... which means I doubt they just put her in the cruiser and took her to DMC. But who knows ...

Someone pointed out that as the facts were developed in the case and as they inevitably point towards innocence, that cognitive dissonance would set in among those who are emotionally invested in guilt. This cognitive dissonance would lead to more and more bizarre theories about the case so as to allow the true believers to keep believing. Sure enough at the "conference" a woman got up and basically accused Duke Medical Center of fudging the DNA samples. this comment was not met with hoots but with approval, when the dishonest DA tried to defend Duke Medical Center the crowd booed.

Blogger Betsy Newkirk described them as feeling "Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence." I agree.

It's a real eyeopener, isn't it?

On another forum yesterday, I told one poster that I believe that she is so emotionally invested in this case that if the girl herself told her that she had made the whole thing up, the poster would then call the girl a liar! :-)


Stay right here. Let me go find an article to link here -- it will just blow your mind.

Where is Susan Powter to "Stop The Madness!" when we need her? (I know, obscure 90s reference...)

It was my understanding her boyfriend took her to the hospital?

Well, I told you that yesterday: that crowd wants somebody -- and if he doesn't do what they want, they'll turn on him.

Here's the account of someone at the hospital when the accuser came in (see shaded boxed section in center):

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2404866

The defense contends they have photos showing the condition of the accuser on arrival and departure. If those pictures show less damage than those taken at the hospital hours later, who she was with between leaving the party and arriving at DMC will be pivotal.

The sad part is, nothing in that article surprises me in the least. I'd say it's pretty close to what happens at time and the post as well.

OMG!! This forum is CLASSIC!

As incredible as it seems...apparently no one has even considered that the whore is lying, in spite of her OBVIOUS CHARACTER SHORTCOMINGS.
