Defense attorneys also noted that two people at the party who aren't on the lacrosse team weren't included in the photos shown to the woman. Those two people also have never submitted DNA samples to authorities for testing, attorneys said.

Wouldn't it be nice to know about these people before you move next door to them? Or send your child to work for them? Or entrust anything to them?

As previously reported on Brain Terminal, Dilby, Free Republic, Hugo Schwyzer, Redmen, Stand Your Ground, and WRAL (a local CBS and CNN affiliate), the name of the woman who accused the Duke Lacrosse team members of rape is Crystal Gail Mangum.

Duke rape defense will challenge IDs, source says - CNN

DURHAM, North Carolina (CNN) -- Defense attorneys for two Duke University lacrosse players charged with rape are questioning the process by which the accuser identified her alleged attackers, a source close to the defense told CNN Friday.

Under the procedure, the accuser was shown images of the team's 46 white players and told they were people police suspected were at the party, the source said.

The defense will likely file a motion to suppress the identification because no pictures of non-team members were included in the presentation, the source said.

Legal experts told CNN that authorities would not necessarily be required to show pictures of unrelated people with pictures of the lacrosse players.

District Attorney Mike Nifong did not return a call seeking comment on the identification procedure.
