I tend to agree. But I wonder what good this information will do for the defense. The talking heads are saying that a jury will never see it (assuming this case goes to court) due to rape shield laws.
(We should probably tell lurkers who may not know this history that a black militant communist group held a demonstration in Greensboro, NC two or three decades ago. They were met by alleged KKKers. A good handful of the black militant commies were carried away in body bags. I don't believe any of the shooters were ever caught.)
I agree....this whole case is a mess and its all because of the arrogant DA.....
the DA is supposed to represent ALL the people....not just someone accusing others....
he didn't do that...he made a media mockery of this and where he should have used prosecutorial discretion, he instead jumped head first with the cameras running....
so what if this woman was really raped?....what if it did really happen........if she was, she was thrown to the lions by the DA.....the DA did nothing to protect her, to shield her, to try to understand her story, to persuade her that perhaps her story did not hold water......
he didn't protect the college men and he didn't protect a possible victim....
How nice of the family to share their bi-polar issues with us. It's a social disease communicable by the MSM./sarc.
This case has plenty of information available to conclude that there is no truth whatsoever to what Crystal Mangum is alleging.

And he did not even need enough information to know what she said was false. If he were a decent prosecutor, all he needed was to know was that he could not make a case beyond a reasonable doubt. That was also his ethical obligation.
But you are confusing yourself by assuming Nifong had anything other than political calculations in mind.
Love your screen name. Your little dude is adorable! Two now...getting into everything and having temper tantrums?
LOL! Wonder who will come out of the shower?
trying to compare a woman with a dubious past and a dubious profession with a much younger college woman working a legit job is a stretch, but not for you, I am sure.....since you seem to place all women in one category....
The men involved will undoubtedly be identified soon.
The men may come out and defend themselves by making statements to reporters denying any rape occurred.
If the men are willing to swear to that, then that could give the defense their opening, to argue that the prior accusation and the current denials should come in as probative of credibility.
Have Rita's 'sources' dried up about the identity of the boyfriend?

To be gang-raped TWICE in 10 years is getting into "planets aligning" territory.

To be fair, remember the Bell Curve: trillion-to-one events DO happen.
Throw in all the other detritus in this case and it seems dead certain this ain't it, though.
I was just thinking the same thing. :)
That could be. Of course her subsequent affair with a man during her Navy enlistment sure threw her husband off that trail!
LOL....I noticed that too...but people like her will keep quiet for a while...then, when most of the sheeple have forgotten what happened, she'll start in with how those white, rich boys got away with a rape....just wait and see...
Tawana Brawley?
The CWP was white. But they used the blacks in Greensboro to bait the KKK.
All the shooters were caught; and tried; and found innocent.
Thanks for looking! He's a perfect gentleman and budding mountaineer. He's already eyeing the difficult passage to the top of the kitchen cabinetry. Thank goodness for his attentive 10 y-o big sis.
I still think that she was going to steal that car that she was found in.....I think she feigned drunkeness just so she wouldn't be arrested for attempted car theft......its possible....
in this whole case, I feel more sorry for her than I do for the DA...the DA should be in jail IMO
Either early this year, late last year a "memorial for the fallen communists" was done in Greensboro. Virgil L. Griffin of Mount Holly, imperial wizard of the Cleveland Knights of the KKK, said someone in the crowd of Communist Workers Party marchers fired first and hit a van driven by a Klansman.
"We had every right to drive down that street with nobody touching the cars," he said. "I didn't come to shoot or kill anybody."
Griffin spoke before the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission, an effort modeled on similar commissions in South Africa and Peru.
There's plenty also going on in Greensboro, currently.
