Hey Howlin, can you ping me to these threads in the future. Being from NC and a Duke fan, and now living less than 3 miles from the Seligmanns, I am all into this case.

I thought the whole thing was fishy from the beginning.

"I'm still waiting for the court date to separate the BS from the facts."

If what has been said about the identification is true and no DNA match is ever established, you may be waiting in vain. The case may never go to trial. Probable cause is a very low standard and is all that is needed to get by the Grand Jury. The accuser's statement alone gets that. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is another thing altogether. They need some proof that a specific individual attacked the accuser. Proving the accuser was attacked by some unspecified Lacrosse player is not sufficient to get this case to trial.

I say this not to be contentious, but because I really believe the case will not go to trial and that is a terrible outcome, because it settles nothing. Since the case has now been tried in the media, supporters of each side will continue to believe as they do and the accused young men will be hounded for the rest of their lives, guilty or not.

On the other hand, a trial like that for O.J or Robert Blake would do little to dissuade those who think those men guilty of murder. I doubt, however, that a North Carolina trial would be as screwed-up as a California trial.

If she was horribly sodomized with a broomhandle, she would not even have been able to walk out of there on her own. Her clothing would have been covered in blood and feces.

We all saw the photo of her on the porch after the alleged rape. Her clothing was intact.

This is so over.

Can the City of Durham be sued by the defendants? I would think this information would help. What charges? False arrest, defamation of character, ???? Does the case have to go to trial before that can happen? If it's just dropped, are they out of luck, or might they still have some recourse?

I'm sure there is a lot out there on this chick and I'll bet a politician is involved.

"I am seriously breaking ugly on this psychotic ho's family.
They knew what a flake she is and they did not step in ASAP and end this rather than supporting her while she piled one incredible lie on another and is about to start a race riot, not to mention ruining lives and sending innocent people to prison."


I am convinced that parents who feel that their children do no wrong are responsible for raising children who are consistantly in trouble.

My children are grown. I used to feel guilty for "laying down the law," when raising them, but now I look back on friends, neighbors, and aquaintances who didn't, and their kids now have problems.

As part of the 'rape' exam at the hospital the woman should have been asked if she had consensual intercourse within FIVE prior days.

If protocol was followed and she answered truthfully this case could never have been brought.

You are not listening to both sides, you are condemning the Duke students.

Clearly you feel that since they hired a stripper they must be guilty because your boys would never ever ever.

The mother told Essence that the AV was in therapy and on meds in 1996 . Father says she was hospitalized in 05.
I wonder if she is still on meds. We assume for depression, anxiety or PTSD.
Combined with alcohol, antidepressants like Zoloft, Prozac and Wellbutrin can make one drink seem like two and potentiate the sedative effects of the medications.
Kim has already said the AV drank that night.
According to the PDR- vaginal hemorrhage is an infrequent ( less occurrences than frequent, but, more cases than rare) side effect of Zoloft and Prozac.
Vaginal irritation is an infrequent side effect of Wellbutrin.
Hemorrhage and irritation could look like trauma to the SANE nurse.

Prostitutes are sometimes raped (actually, more often than non-prostitutes), and sometimes even killed by sexual predators. ... I do not know if that is a comment about peoples' values in general, but it is yet another reason not to be a prostitute.

Whew, that was close! You've saved me from a life of prostitution.

Remember the other girl has suggested a date rape drug was used...I would like to know how she can remember and testify to what happened and who did what, when where and how, if she was fried by a date rape drug? I have read and heard that the person really konks out and cannot even remember what happened, if they are drugged with one of these things.
