I would say that the DNA results were as inconclusive as winning the lottery on a Tuesday when it snows in July. Trillions to one odds. How could they say "inconclusive" when there was NONE found on the accuser?

This might be a dumb question, but why would the players be asked for DNA samples, if they hadn't found DNA to compare them with?

Look in the newspapers.

The entire Country is.

Alumni in this thread have expressed their concern about the school's image being tarnished over this incident.

The point is they were visible repsentatives of Duke as they were a Lacrosse team. If they were jsut joe and Jim Schmow students, it probably wouldn't have been this bad.

And WHY did the Lacrosse coach resign right after this broke??

That's a fact Howlie. The elections will be over before the trial and Nifong's attitude toward the case will gain him ninety percent of the black vote and all the liberal white vote.

Win, lose or draw with the trial. His election victory is dang near a done deal.

Well, Peach, I guess you do, so I'll have to take your word for it.

The DA has never represented that the DNA was inconclusive. Those are Rita's words and we all know how realiable she is. /s

I think it would be hard to argue that the DA is doing anything other than releasing information that helps his case. He's not supposed to be releasing anything.

Let the discovery begin!! We'll find out soon enough.

Maybe she was just at Bullock's bar-b-q and had to use the bathroom.

The 20 minute window has been destroyed as an opportunity for rape.

The first picture after the 27 minute gap shows the accuser SMILING and talking on her cell phone. Impartial Media types have stated that window is not of use to the Prosecution. The woman's story is that she almost died and ended up having to run out of there. So that window is shot to hell by that picture. Also, watches on students in the pics correlate to the time the forensics experts said the Camera had.

Because the date-rape drug that lasts 4-5 hours wore off in under 30 minutes.

...and she has complete clarity of what happened while under the effects of the drug for 30 minutes.

Everyone's bodies have DNA on them. Under our fingernails. Someone's hair on our shirt, etc.

So a judge allowed for 40 something lacrosse players to submit to DNA testing to see if any of their DNA matched that found on Crystal.

Amazing she could fight 3 men for 30 minutes and not have any of their DNA under her nails, including the fake ones found in the house, or any of their DNA (hair included) found on her clothing. Which also amazingly enough wasn't torn.

Have you seen me defending Jesse Jackson, the girl's father or for that matter the girl?

Talk about a jump to conclusions. Bingo, you win.

"Black opportunism" is a racist statement?"

Yes.

"Was Tawana Brawley black opportunism? "

No it was Al Sharpeton at his customary vile actions, aided and abetted by the customary gang of associates.

"When this turns out to be a phony charge, how would you characterize a black woman falsely accusing two white men of rape, allowing the black community of Durham to turn out in her favor, and Jesse Jackson to make a big show of coming to town and awarding her a scholarship?"

If that's true, I couldn't print my response on this board.

If she made the IDs within twelve hours of the attack, why did the City Manager blame her inability to provide details as the reason the search of the house didn't come until the 16th?

IMO, my hunch (just like the first 911 call) will turn out to be correct.

There's a reason for a discrepancy in two documents submitted to the court. I think that reason is the DA's interpretation of the evidence.

Hon, you could just look in a dictionary and find out the meaning of the word orgie. Why don't you do that instead of making a fool of yourself by repeatedly claiming things that aren't true. I'm embarrassed on your behalf.

People tend to get worked into a hysteria over things like this and make silly judgments.

It's not clear why you feel that seeing a stripper is such an heinous act. College kids do those kind of things - it's part of growing up.

I haven't seen an explanation at all. I'm guessing that the DA thought if she really had $2,000 in her possession that it might make her look like a hooker. Duh...
