Thank you, the media conveniently leaves that part out; just like the first e-mail where the boy was actually quoting a movie line.

There was no DNA under the nails. What they should test for is whether HER DNA or anything but the adhesive that comes with the nails (it's reported that they are Lee Press-on Nail) to see if they were ever even actually on her fingers, or if they were new and had NO DNA or adhesive on them. Since they are painted, they can test the polish with that on the handrail. She would have to have painted them after they were on because she would not have been able to press them on with the polish being wet. So, if the only material under the nails is adhesive, and not even her DNA is under them, it tends to show that she was putting them on in the bathroom.

I know many people from the "Heartland" that would be totally F$%^ed if they were dropped in the South Bronx or many parts of the typical inner city.

Many of these college kids, especially the ones I meet, are totally clueless and not prepared for the real world. They have ZERO street smarts and were never allowed to experience what goes on in the street. The parents think they are doing a good thing by that, but they are not.

Did you go to college? The party is pretty common, and was even back when I went to college.....35 years ago.

That's not what I read, but after all the story changes, who knows any more. In any event, there wasn't enough room in there to do what she claims was done.

Sounds like there's a very good chance she might have been "huffing"

The things I have learned on FR............LOL.

A man doesn't have to use a penis in order to rape. That's how you can have a rape without DNA.

Please! I understand what you're saying, but are you trying to insinute she was raped without being held down or confined in some manner?

Check this Out. The indictments were signed by Nifong on
April 12th - APRIL 12th.

Here's a timeline surrounding that date:

April 11

At a public forum at North Carolina Central University -- where the alleged victim is enrolled -- Nifong tells the crowd that the investigation "is not going away," and that more DNA tests could be possible.

April 13

Durham police detectives visited Edens Dorm, where they spend more than an hour attempting to question students as a part of their ongoing investigation.




So, did the Public ELECTION Forum where Black students demanded action prompt NIFONG the very next day to prepare these indictments.

Further, looking at this timeline, shows the April 13th - illegal attempt to question the players without their Legal representatives was DESPERATION! The DA was second-guessing his indictment already prepared and signed!

If she was seaually assaulted with some object, that object would have some of her DNA on it. It appears that the search warant did not even mention any such object. That being the case, she obviously did not allege some 'object' was used.

There are so many holes in her story, they can possibly be plugged.

And I know many city kids that would get run over by a cow if they met one in an open field. If you think "South Bronx" skills are relevant to most of the rest of the country then 1) you need to get out more and 2) I feel sorry for you. You really hate those kids from Larchmont don't you?

What we are interested in here is NOT the web's definition of rape, but what NC state law defines rape as. And in NC, rape is ONLY VAGINAL INTERCOURSE.

Sure I went to parties, and sure we did a lot of things, but we never ever got caught, we never ever put ourselves in danger, always always always had back up three four deep.

Half the people I grew up around are in jail or under indictment, many are close to it.

We partied, but never ever figured we would have defense lawyers there to bail us out.

Did we drink underage? Sure, but we never acted in public in a way to draw attention or in a way that if people started S$%^ we could not stomp them down.

These kids today have no fear because they don't know what is capable of happening to to them. How many do you think ever knew someone who went to jail or got stomped in the street?

How many do you think know people who are capable of serious violence?

Until you realize that this stuff is not just in the movies, you just can't comprehend what is out there.

Not very "street smart" are they?

If I am correct then the timeline that shows in the camera is what counts. Not that it is exactly what the real time is.

If you want to prove nothing happened because of time constraints, you have to prove the pictures chronicled the full time she was there.

You have no idea. They make me ill. Most are a bunch of spoiled rotten panzies who walk around in flip flops and drive a BMW that their daddy bought them while they are off to the country club.

Don't get me started on that bunch. As bad as the guys are, the women are typically a bunch of biaches and C%^& looking to spend every last dime their husband slaves to make and don't even give him a smile, let alone an ounce of respect.

Well it's taken about a dozen posts and you've made your point. Will there bring anything else?

I think the defense lawyers DID try to tell Nifong about the alibi documentation, and I say that because of the late week evening foray the DPD detectives made into the dorm to corner some players to get them to say who all was at the party. By then, the defense lawyers already had the names of those to be indicted, so they probably tried to tell Nifong he was barking up the wrong tree. Instead of looking at the alibi evidence, Nifong sent the detectives into the dorm in the evening to circumvent the defense lawyers, probably hoping they would not be reachable by their clients at that time, to pressure them into telling who was there or asking if Finnerty and/or Selighmann were at the party.
