Seligmann wasn't there, so this must be about Finnerty:



At least one of the two players charged today will be able to show an ATM receipt and a record that he called a restaurant to order food and then picked it up before the alleged assault, according to a defense attorney who is involved in the case but did not want to be identified because the two charged players are not clients.

Forty-one of the lacrosse team's 47 players attended the party last month, according to police interviews with three team captains, Dan Flannery, Bret Thompson and Matt Zash, who told the police that only members of the team were present.

And frankly, I've wondered if Crystal might be faking to cover up her not getting the full $400......to keep from 'dancing' more (lazy), to keep boyfriend/pimp from getting angry (fear), and to get back at 'dem white boys who 'disrepected' her. Then the hysterics when she learned she might be going to jail. If true, it could get an Oscar.

Wow Wendy Murphy claimed their DNA was all over THEIR bathroom and yet failed to mention a lack of DNA on/in the accuser or under her fake fingernails.

Selective commentary.

Yes - they have modified their original statements. That's reason #1 why I haven't believed the stripper since shortly after this was reported.

"BTW, she first told them that she was missing $2000."

Description of items to be siezed:
11. United States Currency totaling $400.00 or portions of said currency (all twenty dollar bills)

Inventory of siezed property. $160.30

Can you point me to the the affidavit where she said $2000 was missing?

And is it really possible Crystal went from smiling as she left the house and talking on a cell phone to basically passed out?

If she really did fall down the stairs could she not simply have suffered a head trauma? Could account for both her state in the Kroger parking lot as well as here carrying on at Duke Med Center.

Did anyone see Wendy Murphy last night

I can't imagine a more bitter and miserable person than Wendy Murphy. Well, besides Nancy "my fiance was killed so any man accused of a crime is guilty" Grace.

I think that's how it played out too and will only add it's possible she was raped or beaten by her bf before the party started, since she showed up bruised and missing nails.

they should not have to prove their innocence at all.

Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't, but this is a case that is in almost a bizarro world. The Defense's best strategy is to lean on the facts of the case, while DA's is to get the jury to believe that "something happened" in order to get a guilty verdict.

And it doesn't make any sense at ALL to drug only one of them.

That's a possibility.

Also, this is the first I've heard Kim say that she couldn't see Crystal for some extended period of time. And it certainly doesn't comport with the photographs which are timestamped.

When did she first mention that she had been raped....to the security guard or the police officer responding to Kroger's call?

"Why'd Nifong pick Labcorp, anyone know?"

Probably because they are the company that won't allow employees to display patriotic items at their desks in support of our troops.

I didn't even know Nancy Grace existed until a Freep thread a couple of weeks ago pointed her out. What a poisonous toadstool she is.

Nancy Grace and her ilk will say that this proves guilt as they were obviously trying to create an alibi. She and Wendy Murphy will say this is all a little too convenient and shows that they are closing rank.

The captains apparently said he wasn't there re the NYT, but I haven't heard either attorney say their client wasn't there at any time that night.
