Yes, and my point was that if the cab driver were white, it would be considered a "setup alibi" I'm quite sure. I still think they need to test the 2nd "dancer" DNA. I have a hunch that she is involved in a conspiracy to set up the guys.
And it seems that every time I leave the computer or the TV to get some work done, something else happens.
What's next?
Do you think Nifong will arrest the third player without an indictment? Is he waiting for the second round of DNA test results? Will he sit on those test results until after the election?
If anything positive comes out of it, maybe it will be that a few more people recognize the left and the media for what they are.
This will never come to trial and neither will Mckinney.
I understand what you're saying. I would be an absolute idiot if I thought my kid would spend 4 years in college with his head buried in a book. The administration punished the entire team for the SUPPOSED actions of 3, without any evidence. What about the kids in HS that already have signed letters of intent? FSU didn't punish the entire football team and pull them from the Orange Bowl when one of their players was accused of sexual assault. The administration and the DA haven't even begun to see the consequences of their stupidity and rush to judgement.

I want to hear more about the photo lineup. The defense claims it was pictures only of players. Why can't reporters follow-up on that at least? If the accuser made her "selections" via an illegal process, why wouldn't that be of interest? And wouldn't an ethical DA's office want to refute that claim? Exactly when are Finnerty/Seligmann's attorneys entitled to that info?
Done!
I was thinking the same thing last night. Usually a prosecutor has the upper hand. In this case, it seems like Nifong will have to spend a lot of time trying to discredit firm alibis before he even gets to his timeline.
I don't see how he thinks he can take this to trial unless, of course, he doesn't think it will get to trial and he is only doing this to pacify local constituents and political reasons. That said, the onus is now on Crystal Mangum to try and be credible. She is the one who gave "100%" ID on the guys. Nifong sort of has to proceed based on this, and taking the case to a GJ for a bill was a punt on his part.

Thanks to the DA celebrated Media tour, we know the victim description of the event (or most of it): NO ONE, NO ONE
would pause for at least 30 seconds, if you had been beaten, kicked, strangled, raped, and sodomized by 3 men and there were 37 others in the building. The DA described her as fighting the players off as she couldn't breath - she was being strangled - and that she ran out of the house and was lucky to have escaped.
12:30:12 a.m.: The next photo shows the alleged victim on the back porch, carrying what appears to be her purse and a makeup bag. Her clothes are intact.
12:30:47 a.m.: A photo taken 30 seconds later shows the alleged victim on the porch and she appears to smile.
The aforementioned descriptions by a NEWS organization are not consistent in any way with the Brutality reported.
.
If you have seen the website that was linked here to the escort service where she works, you would think "Slut" might be too kind.
On the plus side, once her face is out there, more people will come forward revealing nefarious acts of her in the past.
As these young fellows are reported to come from families with money, I suspect there will be a line of people reporting all of her activities.
On the down side, the DA, who has a lot of power to make deals, isn't going to want to hear them.
1/3 is about 15 kids, I'm sure the Durham police get writers cramp on weekend nights from all of the tickets they write for drinking. It was easy to take this action because the NAACP, ACLU, etc could care less because they are PRIVILEGED WHITE BOYS.
