The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids, attends North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college in Durham.

She plans to keep a low profile until the students go on trial to avoid inflaming tensions in the black community, where opinion is running heavily against the privileged students.

One of the most hurtful things for the woman about the media circus surrounding the case, the cousin said, is the tendency to assume the worst about her because she is a stripper.

"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

"If it turns out, this entire event was a hoax that was permitted to go forward so a DA could be re elected, who will be held accountable?
Will the stripper go to jail?
Will the DA go to jail?
How many millions in damages are going to be sought by all the people involved in this matter, if it turns out to be a lie?"

Answers to your questions:

1)No one, this is NC after all. House Speaker Black (D)is under Federal and State investigation and nothing will come of this either for the DA. He is a Dem in Durham.

2)Heck no. She will be exalted in Durham for pointing out the "truth". They may build a statue of her likeness on the NC Central campus. This is Durham after all.

3)Heck no - see answers 1 and 2.

4)Tens of millions. Shakedown Jackson will shake Duke down for over $10 million so the "healing" can begin in Durham.

the damage done to race relations in NC is tragic,

What about the damage to North Carolina. Any company moving to the Raleigh-Durham area is going to think twice.

A couple of players hire a stripper and you conclude all members of the team are bad guys? even those who aren't there?

The defense says that 41 of the 47 players were there at the party. In addition, $800= 40 players paying $20 each. I seriously doubt that, despite how "privileged" they are, only a couple of players paid $100 or more each for a stripper.

Nothing in the world "justifies" the rape of a woman. However, it might not be smart to go infront of a crowd of testosterone-charged, drunk college boys and take off your clothes while wiggling like a cheap whore.

Likewise, wolves would not be justified in eating me to bare bones if I walked through the empty forest unarmed, and I wouldn't glue thousand dollar bills to my body and walk through the victim's neighborhood late at night. In each case, I would have done nothing wrong, and would not deserve the results. But I would have to be some kind of fool to do it for a living.

The stripper initially felt "very discouraged" after DNA evidence last week failed to implicate any of the lacrosse players.

I wonder how the LIAR feels now that her timeline is turning into a national joke? She can't exactly feel her case is bolstered at this point. I'm wondering if the "very discouraged" is code for "wanted to drop the claims, but it isn't about her anymore and someone made her realize this".

I'm wondering if there was any physical evidence at all to show that a rape even took place.

According to the defense, there was no evidence she had even had sex.

Oh, I agree. I think the strippers started dancing and were getting made fun of by the players. They went into the bathroom after 3-4 minutes and still expected to get paid. The strippers said, pay us or we will call the cops.

One of the tv talking head/lawyers last night, maybe MSNBC, said if the brutal rape/sodomization happened, no way would there be no DNA. Besides, with all that drinking going on, how many partygoers would be able to don condoms properly before the act, keep it on, take it off, without spilling at least one hair, one flake of skin or semen on this woman? Doesn't make sense. So now they're doing another DNA test with a different lab. Will they test and test until they get the desired result?

It is impossible to think being brutally raped in all ways by three men would not leave ONE bit of semen, sweat, skin , saliva.

Do you know if we the taxpayers are already funding her schooling thru the VA? Or is there something about the length or character of her service that made her inelugible for VA bennies?

"O'Reilly, last night, mentioned a few home truths about this case. Risky behavior will -- more often than not, get you in trouble."

O'Reilly certainly knows the truth of this comment.

"At one point, she wanted to just drop the charges," said the cousin, who gave her name as Jackie. "But as a family, we told her to stand her ground."

Very telling ... IMO.

And the Dukies are real saints????????

Well, they were providing employment to a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids. /s

And there is something to be said about a 27 year old woman, a mother, stripping for a group that included teenagers.

That the 'Dukies' were a bunch of penis brains goes without saying--that's a Given. The Given is NOT the question. The Question is: Are the penis brains a bunch of Rapists?

One of the woman attorneys on tv last night said that something awful happened at that house because they cleared out when they heard the cops were coming, like this was some type of sign that something awful happened there.

He is not one of the womens' attorneys; he is a mouthpiece for Nifong; and most of what he said was utter rubbish and not rooted in fact.

He was making it up.

I know the response that I'm going to get is that rape is about power/control and not sex, and I'm sure it is, but my guess is that the quality of female that these guys can pull (even if they have to go to Chapel Hill to find it) would so far exceed this stripper that they wouldn't have touched her with a 10-foot pole, let alone a penis with a condom on it. I'm sure I'll be called an insensitive ass now but, oh well, I seem to become one more and more by the day.

I thought the friend of Reade was very compelling on the news last night.

There have been several articles stating the lacrosse coach was warned more than once about the boorish behavior of his players. And the one guy is charged with assault in Washington, DC.

You've clearly forgotten about the elections of 2000 and 2004.
