Reverend Jesse Jackson told ESSENCE that during a conversation in which he called to pray with the parents of the alleged victim, he suggested that the family call Willie Gary and gave the mother the necessary contact information. The father of the 27-year-old alleged victim called Willie Gary’s office to follow up on Reverend Jackson’s suggestion.

That's extorion. A thug of a man trying to goad a frightened college student and/or parents into telling the story the thug wants heard.

A fellow stripper ...

Shouldn't that be 'sister stripper' ?

In any case, what frightens me the most about this case is the prospect, should this go to trial, of 'Jury nullification'. Think OJ and the preponderance of DNA evidence. Here we have the opposite.
Also, the DA 'shopping' for DNA evidence kind of removes DNA or ANY physical evidence from the case altogether.
The Lynch Mob is gathering...

Jackson helped hook up Gary with Coca-Cola employees filing a $5-billion discrimination suit against the company a few years ago. When Gary sued Burger King Corp. for $1.9-billion, his pal Jackson served as the mediator who helped settle the case in 2001. Gary said he's never made more than about $25,000 off any of those cases. What pays for his "Wings of Justice" 737, his Rolls Royce and the gold fixtures scattered across his mansion, Gary said, is his work for wealthy white clients - not the low-income African-American clients Jackson sends his way.

"My overhead is a million dollars a day. You know the most we could get out of those (Pinellas) school district cases? Two hundred thousand because of sovereign immunity (restrictions on lawsuits against government)," said Gary, whose track record includes a $500-million verdict against a funeral home chain, a $139-million verdict against Anheuser-Busch, and $240-million against Disney.

"When Jesse calls me, I don't even want to pick up the phone. There's one thing I know when Jesse calls - there's no money there."

Here is the comment section which follows the Essence article:http://www.essence.com/essence/showallmessages/0,18603,1186586,00.html

It is very resassuring to see some Essence readers see the accuser for the liar she is, and "starving fully-clothed student" pegged JJ's "scholarship" to a Pure-T.

The accuser is staying with friends and only occasionally calls relatives, amid threats from Duke supporters and white supremacists, Essence magazine reported.

Confusing sentence. If no one knows how to reach her, I suppose the relatives are the ones getting threats from alleged "white supremacists"? And I do mean "alleged". If someone called me and told me they were the Governor of NC, should I believe that person?

This has now gotten 'way beyond guilt and innocence. Or simple legal justice. It's now a full blown good vs. evil at the same level as Abu Gharib, etc...

There are some good comments there, like this one ...

She is a very sad person who made up this story to avoid being sent to jail for being intoxicated. With her criminal record, she felt her only option was to cry rape. But she couldn't even do that right. No way she was raped at the house, but maybe the second stripper (if she could ever tell the truth) could shed some light on what happened after she left the party. Too many people have been hurt, emotionally and financially, and this woman has hurt ALL hardworking single mothers. No sympathy here.

Is she "profiling"? And no, I don't have to insert a caveat. Someone somewhere is going to trying to get into my face that she was [allegedly] raped by 3 WHITE men and therefore she has A RIGHT TO PROFILE all white people.

Profiling happens. And when the legal profile fits the ACTUAL and PROVEN stats, who complains "profiling"? Nah. The whole Political Pinata is continuing...
