KIM ROBERTS, DANCER AT DUKE LACROSSE PARTY: I was there from the beginning to the end. The only thing I did not see was the rape, because I was not in the bathroom at that particular moment. Everything leading up to it I was there, everything leading from it I was there, and mind you, I believe I was the only sober person in the place.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For them to say there‘s something wrong because she didn‘t tell the police until later that she had been raped.

ROBERTS: If you could have seen her there, it makes perfect sense to me. Because she—I don‘t even want to go into it. She was definitely out of it. It was hard to see. When the police got there, it was hard to see. I felt very guilty and bad at that moment. In hindsight, I look back and I don‘t even know how to feel about the fact that if something horrible did happen to her in that house and I was right there and I didn‘t help her, you don‘t know what that does to me. I‘m the one who has to live with that. My job is not to figure out if they are guilty or innocent, you know. Because my opinion has changed, the facts of the story will never change. The facts will never change, ever, ever.

ROBERTS: Then they say they slipped a $100 bill under the door.

That‘s such a...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE)

ROBERTS: Under the bathroom door is what I heard. Lie, turkey (ph) lie, ain‘t going to go into it, turkey (ph) lie. They also said fingernails were painted while we were in the bathroom. I never—all I can say is I never saw any fingernails painted. Never saw it, that‘s all I can say.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did you go into the bathroom at all?

ROBERTS: (INAUDIBLE) I‘m not going to talk about it.

ROBERTS: They say she was visibly intoxicated when she arrived. Everybody has heard that. Hasn‘t everybody heard that? She was visibly intoxicated when she arrived and the pictures will prove it. The pictures will prove she was visibly intoxicated when she arrived. Where is it? Where is the proof? Another lie.

I was basically told by somebody who actually saw the pictures before I actually saw the pictures myself that she looked at them and saw no bruises. Well I mean, I don‘t know what a bruise is to you, but you know I fell down and you know I scraped my knees here. I don‘t know if they would consider that a bruise, you know what I mean? So—and she saw nothing of the sort, so another lie that they were caught in.
