No. I am raising questions that the time-line defense does not cover all possibilities in itself unless it address confirmation of time stamps and covers the time before midnight.
The purpose of the time line defense is to show that it is physically impossible to happen without making assumptions as to what did and did not happen.
If the time-line defense is not absolute, then I guess one would have to make assumptions like yours above in order to fill the gaps. I was hoping that the blanks could be filled in a way that the assumptions like the one you are making are not required and the time-line shows its absolutely impossible for a rape to have occur ed between these individuals.
Absolutely. The DA wants two heads for re-election. No doubt embarassed (as the fool he is) by an early alibi, he can always look for a more attractive perp to indict.
What-the-hell. The University (hate white males) and town (hate whites) are behind hime, and there's an election to win.
Isn't it to be expected that athletes have scratches on their bodies? Shoot - you garden and probably have scratches on you.
Would it be allowed?
But he can't DO that; he just cannot give her a picture lineup with pictures with scratches on them.
But now he is locked into the "positively identified" statement; and now look, they weren't there.........
I guess Number 3 just had "sort of" a scratch and she could only 90 percent identify him?
I'm shocked a judge not only forced them to provide DNA but obviously pictures of their bodies.
She has other cases in the town so she can't really publicly humiliate him - it would hurt her other clients.
It's also just professional courtesy and common decency.
I never knew you were a court reporter! How the heck do you have so much Freeping time? (FReep during trial? :) )
There's a good chance it will be allowed; heck, in the Mike Peterson case they allowed testimony from the death of another woman in another country.
That's a very good point. About 30 min. ago Ron Mott of MSNBC said there was a difference of opinion among the defense lawyers about how much info they should give out.
I wonder if Nifong will hunt him down and trash HIM. No doubt he's rich if he owns a camera. ;o)
I work at home most of the time!
Any chance some events preceded midnight? Do we know where the girls were before then?
From what I have read, that court order was never obtained; Nifong sent a letter to the attorneys saying that he was going to get one, and so they all went in voluntarily.
He sent something like "a letter of intent," but I can't remember the exact name.
The accuser was late and arrived at 12:00.
Could be that the reason she came back to the party was the promise of money for, say, oral sex. At 12:09 (maybe as early as 12:05) she and the three guys go into the bathroom, Seligmann is first, sees that things are getting way out of hand, beats feet to establish an alibi. The other two guys stay.
He calls a cab at 12:14 (alibi #1) After 5 minutes he gets tired of waiting, knows he can't hang around, and so leaves with a friend from the party, not alone, at 12:19 (alibi #2). They start walking back to the dorm, get about about a block and a half, spot the cab he called, and get in (alibi #3). He goes straight to an ATM at 12:24 (alibi #4). At 12:25 a.m., he was making a phone call to a girlfriend out of state. (alibi #5). He then goes to a fast food restaurant (the OJ alibi #6). Goes back to the dorm at 12:46 (alibi #7).
Now, was he involved? No, I don't think so. But, the point is, he could have been.
Shoot - you garden and probably have scratches on you.
That's correct...you should see my hands today and I was wearing gloves....lol..................like I said, when my son would come home from practice he looked terrible, scratches, bruises, bumps...I am sure these boys go through the same thing...so it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Well, it looks good for them they volunteered but didn't I read a judge ordered that all of them submit DNA?
Not that I have heard.
Her daddy said he took her to the store for some drinks (if you can believe him), but he didn't say what time.
As a defense attorney, it's good for her business to have a DA in office who ia an incompetent fool.
