Addendum to Nasty Graceless on CNN (I'm watching it again, man this is a real guilty pleasure): guest mentions the alibi (~35 minutes into the show), when he's done, she goes something like this: "So you're telling me, he went to an ATM?...and saaaaaved?...the receipt!?" Honest to God she is rolling her eyes as she says this.

Full-nostril smackdown coming up NOW!

Have they lost their minds or do they just not know what is going on down here?

Why are all the attorneys on TV saying the alibis are a bad idea?

need to get my racketeering lawsuit resolved first. US Atorney admits i am a victime but refuses to prosecute the perps. Got the goods on one US District Court judge, too. He destroyed and concealed documents implicaing himself in racketeering. the clerk of the court is abetting the racketeering as well.

I'm sorry Chris, I shouldn't be laughing so hard, but do I sense just a teeny bit of vanity?

They're all locked into their opinions expressed on prior shows and are now twisting and squirming on this case.

Look at this statement by Nifong:

"It is important that we not only bring the assailants to justice, but also that we lift the cloud of suspicion from those team members who were not involved in the assault," Nifong said.

Assailants?

Main Entry: as·sail
Pronunciation: &-'sA(&)l
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French asaillir, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin assalire, alteration of Latin assilire to leap upon, from ad- + salire to leap -- more at SALLY
: to attack violently with blows or words
synonym see ATTACK
- as·sail·able /-'sA-l&-b&l/ adjective
- as·sail·ant /-'sA-l&nt/ noun

He is out of control.

Yes, I heard early on they took a lot of pubic hair from each player.

Let us not forget Ted Williams said he was speaking for the Black community a couple weeks back when Daryl Littlejohn was arrested for the Brutual Killing, rape, sodomy, and mutilation in New York. He said he was concerned there was a coverup and he compared Daryl Littlejohn to the black guys arrested early on in Aruba.

------

The LittleJohn case was a Black man raping, sodomizing, killing, and mutliating a White woman.
HOWEVER, it was NEVER reported like that.

Now, I challenge you to find an article on the DUKE case that doesn't say the alleged perps are WHITE or the alleged Victim was BLACK.

To: I want to know

"Defense attorneys say the lacrosse players requested two white dancers for the party, but the two African-American women showed up."

Sorry. Wihtout attribution to the attorney and an actual quote I simply don't trust this source. I see no benefit for the defense, at least at this point, to admit such a thing.

During the trial, if it gets to that point, then yes the defendants may admit that they asked for two white dancers and were angry/disappointed when tow black dancers arrived.

Yet it would seem their main reason for disappointment may have been the fact that the accuser was giving a horrific, drunk performance by any standard, slapped a player for suggesting a broom be part of the act (one of the more murky issues) then disappeared for thirty minutes in the bathroom.

Again no attribution or quote then I don't have any reason to believe it.

I think they think you should save them for the trial. I say BS. You don't want to go to trial. Anything that can short circuit the prosecution case should be done ASAP. Maybe they will get lucky and get a good judge that will end this case before it gets started.

Possible alibi?
Attorneys for the players have demanded Nifong drop the investigation, arguing that DNA tests failed to connect any of the team members to the alleged rape. They have also charged that the accuser was intoxicated and injured when she showed up for the party.

"This is probably the worst miscarriage of justice I've seen in 34 years of practice," said another Seligmann lawyer, Julian Mack.

Bill Thomas, a lawyer for a player who has not been charged, said that one of the two men under indictment did not even attend the party. He would specify which one, saying only that "multiple witnesses and a commercial transaction" would provide an alibi.

According to a filing made by the district attorney's office, the residents of the house where the party took place told police that Seligmann was one of six players who did not attend the party.

Another attorney, Robert Ekstrand, who represents dozens of players, said neither Seligmann nor Finnerty was at the party "at the relevant time."

The indictment represents "a horrible circumstance and a product of a rush to judgment," Ekstrand said.
