What evidence do you have to support your claim? Just curious?
Nifong, you dumbass. They scammed you.
The ESSENCE story is different from the AP. The reporter in ESSENCE claims that she was told by the family that she was raped when she was 17 or 18 and after that she received therapy and medication. The AP story claims that she reported at 18 a rape that occurred when she was 14, based on a report that they have seen.
Sorry, but the more I learn about this woman, the less I think the lacrosse players did anything. I think that she was drunk and/or high.
This sounds so much like Tawana Brawly, I can't imagine that anyone not blinded by class envy or racial prejudice can believe this woman, especially after this, not to mention all the other evidence that has failed to support her version of events.
Oh please. The two accused have alibis, the DA doesn't even have a set timeline, there is no DNA, and the 'witness' has changed her story repeatedly.
Nice rush to judgement.
This raises a lot of questions which I hope the reporters follow up on.
Very interesting that the allegations were made in the summer of 1996 but the alleged three-man rape was to have occurred three years earlier, in 1993.
Almost certainly the only evidence the police had to go on in the case was her word against that of the men. Were the three men people she knew beforehand or strangers? Were they white or black? If they were people she knew, did she have a perceived greivance against them that developed in the summer of 1996? It would be interesting to hear the accused's version of what happened.
The accusation must have been made the summer after her graduation from high school in Durham.
What she was doing in nearby Creedmoor in the summer of 1996? Did she move there after graduating high school? Or does she have relatives in Creedmoor she visits? Did it make sense to police that she was even likely in Creedmoor in 1993? Were all of the men even living in Creedmoor in 1993?
From her experience in the 1996 case, the AV probably saw that it came down to her word against the men's word, which ultimately was not enough to get an indictment, although undoubtedly the accusations made those men's lives miserable for a time.
Did the AV think the same thing was going to happen here, that she would get revenge for being "dissed" at the party by making false accusations of rape and expected the guys to get investigated for a while by police, but not actually charged? Is that why she didn't pick out any individuals until three weeks later, at which time she realized it had become a much bigger deal than she had foreseen, and it was too late to back down so she had to pick somebody?
Three men???
Not one, not 2, but 3.
I would love to get my hands on that statement to compare stories.
Wonder if some sh!t was getting ready to hit the fan in 96?
When will the "We Are Sorry" marches going to take place?
You *are* joking, right?
You can't scam someone looking for an issue and seizing on this race hustling accusation.
It did. A woman got drunk and falsely accused some college kids of raping her.
After hearing this 1996 story, I'm beginning to wonder if she didn't INTENTIONALLY identify as the rapists guys she didn't see at the party.
She found herself in way over her head, and maybe figured that picking the wrong guys would be the best way to extricate herself from the whole matter and make it go away?
Except that now she is finding that an electioneering DA, the race hustlers around her, the drive-by media, etc., won't let this thing drop and insist on absurd rationalizations to keep it alive (they must have worn rape jackets, raping while on the cellphone, cabbie paid off for the alibi, going to the ATM specifically to establish an alibi, etc.)?
Did one of the men have a mustache? Just wondering :0)
Well, isn't it obvious that our entire system is racist and sexist?
Uh...if she wasn't raped, they were all the "wrong guys."
Which claim would that be?
Oh my.....what a mess! I'm definitely not surprised!
As I said, I'm referring to guys she didn't notice were there at the party
On the other hand, while Seligmann was only there for a few minutes, he does have a distinctive face
It does sound much like the Brawley case. And if that is what it is, I hope she is punished. However it shakes out, I hope the guilty parties are exposed and punished.
They didn't have any money.
