Breaking overnight from Chris Cummo at ABC GMA:
Case against at least one Duke defemdant unraveling fast.
Defendant Seiligman went to bank ATM while rape supposedly happening.
12:02 Time stamped photos show girl arriving. Girl leaves, comes back, call friends on cell phone does other things. 12:19 Seiligman calls cab dispatcher 12:24 Seiligman takes cab to bank miles away, uses ATM card (photos show it is him.) 12:42 after walking back to dorm, Seiligman uses security card to enter dorm. Does not leave.
Also, Seiligman was never interviewed by cops. DA seeking reelection simply took "Dancers" word that he raped her.
He's not black; not Jamaican either. Skin is black for those not watching, but not African American.
Boylan is a good old boy in Durham; he's talking Nifong's talk.
That's crap.
He called the cabbie a liar? That will go over well, won't it?
I'm glad nobody except Rita has that jerk.
I'm past the ages being recruited...18-40 and I've NEVER been that desperate for a job. NEVER.
If the venue isn't changed, they'll be convicted after an hour of deliberating.. I think the O.J. jurors thought about a 8 month trial for 60 minutes.
They are guilty in Durham, no doubt.
.
This show is so one sided...just like Nancy Grace and Crier's show....
I can't get MSNBC from my hotel room, but it sounds like these guests haven't seen the photos or read the timeline.
Now, this guy thinks the cabbie is a liar, too.
Everybody's a liar but a drunk stripper.
Did you notice that they had rates for overnights and weekends?
That panel was so biased against those boys. And I can well imagine that those guys were a little freaked out about the whole scene with the strippers, an argument, her being so drunk she's falling off her shoes, trying to get rid of her, I'm sure her threats of calling the cops and they know they're underage and drinking.
Definitely. I'm afraid for them.
I feel like writing their parents and telling them we're not all like that!
Rita's about a day behind the pajama army. The Herald-Sun printed that they contacted 12 cab companies and none of them had any cabs there. The problem is that there are at least 30 cab companies in the Durham area. One of Rita's interns misinterpreted the H-S article, which I suspect may have been worded purposely to begin with.
And yes, I did mean "DISCIPLES". ;{
I have heard it said the season was canceled because of the rape allegation, and I have also heard it was canceled because of the stripper party held at a University-owned house. The latter might be a proper (albeit harsh) disciplinary action over an undisputed event.
I remember a "crackdown" in college town of U Berkeley, similar to this and because of whatall was going on in the frats, dorms; but MOSTLY the private residences around the campus. I think the penalty if busted was no admittance or no grades. Long-term, it did no good.
These youngster will mimic their "stars" and their "celebrity-ites".
I'm so proud of these students just coming out and defending these boys.
Two friends of Seiligman's on the show. Did he talk about the party at all, Rita asks.
Friend: Said it was crazy and strippers locked themselves in the bathroom for a period of time and he left after that. He said the strippers were doing drugs in the bathroom.
Other friend: They were concerned because of thes tate of the stripper and a dispute about paying her and her pimp would come after them. It had to do something about money.
First friend: They danced for 4 minutes and the guys didn't want to pay all that for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, they went into the bathroom. I'm best friend with Reed's girlfriend and she talked to him, of course. Of course, he must be distraught over this situation but he's taking it calmly because he know he didn't do anything wrong.
End
Rita is being more respectful to the friends of the players than Crier was.
Crier doesn't want to hear the truth...she has them tried and convicted already...to think she was a judge..
Actually we now just heard on Rita what the lacrosse players were telling their friends.
Sounds like they didn't pay the strippers, and were thinking the pimp (probably armed with more than a lacrosse stick) would come after them at the house for the money.
THAT'S why they cleared out so quickly, not fear of law enforcement showing up as Wendy Murphy claiming.
The coach "caused it", huh. This is dumb. At this rate, all professors railing against "whitey" should be "let go" for encouraging black on white crime and or civil riots.
