Wendy Murphy is a b-i-t-c-*. I agree.
The photographs show all of them wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts. The pictures also so that she was missing fingernails while she was dancing. All the team memmber stripped for photos, but nothing has been reported about any scratch marks....presumably because there were none.
Arresting people at 4 am is another of the Gestapo tactics used by police. I am sure that had they notified these boys to show up at 10 am they would have turned themselves in.
The police come in the night dressed in their Ninja suits and armed to the teeth , they catch you in a dazed and half awake situation and anything you do or say in this condition will be used against you.
This is America??
Having not followed this as closely as others, this may be redundant information. Steve Doocey on F&F this morning mentioned comments made by Kroger's female security guard at the time the 911 call was placed. The guard stated (and I believe ABC has tape of this) that there was no way this lady had been raped.
From the pictures and the bruises shown prior to her dance it appears she had rough sex, probably with ther boyfriend before going to the party.
Maria, it's possible, but the evidence we've seen thus far doesn't support the theory, much less a conviction. If the DA shows his hand and reveals that "roofies" were involved, that changes things. But in a "CSI" world, the lack of any DNA matching any of the boys on her person is devastating to the prosecution's case.
Yet, given the climate of "the community", I feel convictions might happen anyway, evidence be damned. That's why I said that this was eerily like "To Kill a Mockingbird", in reverse.
The evidence that has been leaked to date would indicate that there is not enough evidence to convict for rape. Absent additional evidence or that the leaks are false, a rape conviction is virtually impossible.
This then raises the question, why? Many think its politics, some reverse discrimination and some think its fear of riots.
I also assume that their is a few who despise women who sell themselves sexually who cannot see them as broken women who need help. These see this event as an opportunity to bash them some more.
The DA set out on a course to destroy the lives of several DOZEN young men because one woman alleged that three men raped her.
There has been no physical evidence presented (that we know of) that a crime even occurred. However, there has been all sorts of photographic evidence provided that establishes that it was almost impossible for a rape to have occurred.
The woman was in police custody for drunkeness for nearly two hours before she even mentioned a rape.
Some members of the Durham community have exploited this to the level of a near lynch mob without any consideration of the guilt or innocense or even proof of a crime.
In the end the DA could only get indictments against TWO players, what about the supposed third? And please keep in mind taht the legal threshold to get a grand jury indictment is quite minimal -- evidence that could never be used at trial is admissable, no defense evidence is presented, and the DA basically gets to pick the grand jury.
Please explain how any of this is racist, unless you mean racism against white men.
BARF ALERT!
ZAHN: Reverend Jackson joins me now.
Always good to see you. You see the issue of race involved in this case. The -- the idea that white men hire black women to strip for them is -- quote -- "That fantasy is as old as slave masters impregnating young slave girls."
Are you saying this alleged victim was raped because she was black?
REVEREND JESSE JACKSON, FOUNDER, RAINBOW/PUSH COALITION: There's a race/sex/class intrigue in the situation.
And the idea of white males fantasizing about black women is -- is quite old, quite -- and quite ugly, and now quite illegal. And that's why we really want the truth to be told. We want justice served. And we want the law to serve as a -- as a deterrent.
ZAHN: But, Reverend Jackson, one of the attorneys representing the captain of the lacrosse team says that, in saying what you're saying tonight, you're pandering to race. You're race-baiting, because there's no evidence that any of these players specifically asked for a black stripper.
JACKSON: Well, that's what they got and that's what they paid for.
You know, it's -- it's -- it's alarming to me, astonishing, really, after 254 years of legal slavery, 100 years of legal Jim Crow. I grew up in that system. I knew what that system -- what it means. They -- they knew what they got.
And we know that they were watching this naked woman, who is a -- an exotic cancer, a former person in the Navy, a mother of two, who exposed her body to make money, to take care of her children and go to college. So, she's not just a stripper, but, really, a person, who they are now about to diminish into a non-person. That's why she's afraid. She's in hiding now.
And these guys were out of control. Of the 47, 15 in this past year have been arrested for everything from disorderly conduct to public urination.
ZAHN: But the alleged victim has a criminal history as well. Do you believe everything this alleged victim has said.
JACKSON: No, I do -- I -- I...
ZAHN: Do you think she's telling the truth?
JACKSON: I do not know her.
But what I -- at these parties, you -- there are these sexual arousal dimensions there, the drinking dimensions. And, so, I don't know what all happened.
Suffice it to say, she left there with injury and went to the hospital. And the nurses and doctors said, at the hospital, that they suspected she had been assaulted in some way. And that has been the strongest evidence so far, were the marks on -- on her body.

"Ejaculate?" Is this the PC way of describing semen? Where did you hear this?
Right, I agree. But we all form opinions on what we have read and heard. That's natural. At no time have I ever attacked the allege victim. I have been to private strip shows at people's houses and I can differentiate between strippers and hookers.
Don't hit me, Nancy Grace. Wendy Murphy said this on Bill O'reilly.
They say there were 5 of her fingernails in the bathroom, and therefore that proves there was a struggle. I don't believe that, she was so wasted she could have broken her nails just falling all over the place. As I said before, you scratch someone so hard that your fingernails fall off you're gonna leave a mark.
As if no one would be in a drunken stupor at a bachelor party? As if, in the age of camera cell phones, being photographed is a surprise?
I've read reports that the accuser/ 'dancer' was 30-45 minutes late for her performance. Safe assumption that, at a 'party' where the main attraction is an 'exotic dancer', the audience is going to be drunk when you perform at 11 pm or so...and is going to be drunker if you show up late. WHAT I am curious about is the evening timeline of the accuser...specifically, WHAT caused her to be late, WHO dropped her off at the house, WHY she didn't drive her own car and WHY she relied on someone she supposedly didn't know--the second dancer--for transportation leaving the party.
...she (the other dancer/ 911 caller) didn't want people in her life to know about her job as an escort service dancer.
Escort service...what would be the name of this establishment? And exactly what 'services' does this business offer?
Nifong and the obvioiusly false accuser are the real criminals in this case.
