Judge Napolitano on Fox TV yesterday was almost apoplectic about the case. Insisted it was political and disgraceful.

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.

The irony is so thick you could stab it with a fork.

Any time anyone in the MSM says anything about the defendants, at least one of the following words is mentioned: "privileged," "elite," "white" (because, y'know, that matters), "exclusive." Hear that, kids? We aren't supposed to assume anything bad about this woman based on her profession. But speculate away on the white males. After all, they're white, male, privileged, elite lacrosse players attending an exclusive university. They obviously raped this woman because they thought she was their slave. Just ask Jesse Jackson.

Don't expect the accuser's occupation to come up at trial unless she brings it up. The defense is case-in-chief, and it revolves around the assertion that the defendants simply weren't there when the alleged attack occurred. The defense won't need to cross-examine the alleged victim. The only time that ever really needs to occur in a rape case is if the defense's case revolves around consent, which it doesn't here. The defense will just be a matter of calling witnesses to authenticate documents showing that the defendants were elsewhere. That's actually a very calm case to run.

There are no good guys or gals in this story. It's a classic tale of Western hedonism. At the very best, the accused have shown themselves to be dissipated college boys who thought it was a good idea to have a stripper at their drinking party. At the very best, the accuser has shown herself to be a skank who accepts money in exchange for her human dignity.

Whatever they learn in college, it isn't common sense!

Exactly. BTW, strippers are often also hookers and by occupation they have the highest rates of homicide among women. Very stupid to get involved with stripper.

On O'Reilly it was also mentioned that most of the players had short sleeves and thus DNA should have been under the fingernails. Seemed at least some fiber evidence also if she fought them off the way the DA claims she did.

Let's see, she travels to men's houses to strip, dance and who knows what else. She takes money for this 'service'. And on top of that she's performing her services for a bunch of drunk and horney college kids. One doesn't have to ASSUME the worst, she's is the worst!

"I wonder if he is paying child support."

I doubt it, because he said on the telephone/TV interview that they are not HIS lids.

I'm wondering if there was any physical evidence at all to show that a rape even took place. Forget for a second the question of whether the defendants committed a rape; is there any evidence of a rape? Any indication that one even occurred?

And they are (or their parents) are paying a lot of money to attend Duke. I'm beginning to think our colleges and universities are a great waste of money.

Extremely biased article. From where I sit, it appears that there's an 80+% chance the Duke students are the victims here.
