Abrams: DA also blaming media; coming up after commercial.
I admire Abrams for being up front about admitting his personal outrage at Nifong's pot shots at Duke.
Hoops through which the rape nazis would have us jump in order to believe the stripper:
The students put on sports coats to avoid scratches on their arms.
They used condoms and left no DNA.
They used a broomstick but the stripper never mentioned that out of embarrassment. (How does one embarrass a stripper, anyway).
But the cops never retrieved a broomstick from the house.
The stripper was raped by 3 men twice in separate events.
The stripper was smiling when she left the house.
The stripper was wearing stocking which don't appear to be torn.
The stripper tried to get back into the house where she was raped in order to retrieve a shoe.
The stripper painted her nails at some point during the evening in a house where she was scared and uncomfortable after hearing a broomstick argument.
The stripper didn't mention to her friend that she was raped.
Which is it?

Meanwhile Friday morning, WRAL talked to the accuser's mother, who insisted that the rape did happen. The mother, who WRAL does not identify because it would reveal the accuser's identity, said that the rape was committed by her daughter's ex-boyfriend and two of his friends and that her daughter did not pursue charges because the suspect threatened to kill her.
The accuser was asked by police in 1996 to write and submit a chronological version of the events, but police could not say if it was ever submitted. It was not found in a search of police records, Pollard said.

The woman's father said Thursday his daughter was not raped in the 1996 incident.
"They didn't do anything to her," he said.
The father said his daughter was held against her will by a group of men who had picked her up from school in Durham and drove her to Creedmoor. She was not sexually assaulted or injured in the encounter, he said, and she was returned home safely the same day.
The 1996 accusation came to light Thursday after Essence.com, the Web site of Essence, a lifestyle magazine, reported in a news update that the accuser's mother had said her daughter was raped by several men in Creedmoor when she was a teenager. When contacted by The News & Observer on Thursday, the mother said the magazine misrepresented her comments. She refused to elaborate on what her daughter had reported to the Creedmoor police.
"I'm not going to tell you anything," the mother said.
