Thanks for all the new news folks. I think I'm going to be seriously ill with outrage. I think the time has come for charges to be leveled for prosecutorial misconduct. If this evidence existed,with the DA refusing to see it, and the lineup was a joke, there must be some recourse these families have. Their sons lives have been destroyed. Sorry for the rant.

Wondering if the pics of his hands/arms are to show there were no scratches? I seem to recall (or was I dreaming) that part of the ID had to do with having scratches exhibited during the DNA/picture collecting? So, any scratches he might have had on March 23 were gotten AFTER March 13. It's not apparent in the photo ID dialogue, but I wonder if the players "with scratches" were the first one's pictured in the "lineup"???? (I'm probably way off base here, but it was a thought.)

From the article you posted:

The Durham District Attorney's election has become a referendum on Nifong's handling of the Duke lacrosse case, voters at the Durham County Agricultural Building on Foster Street said this morning.

"I think it's been pursued properly," said Laurel Fredrickson, 48, a Duke graduate student who voted to keep Nifong in office. "Nifong has done what he has to do."

Wade Marlette said he cast his vote for Black, largely because of Nifong's pursuit of the Duke case.

"I think he's rushed to judgement," said Marlette, 68, who taught logic and philosophy at N.C. Central University for 31 years and did one year of graduate work at Duke. "I don't think he should have given his opinions."

I suspect he may have "resigned", instead of been fired, just so that that could happen. He certainly cooperated with the investigative team, which he was under no obligation to do.

Video At ATM link:

I'm with you on that... RS wasn't there at that time... I got that part...

But you know as well as I do that one of the photos of the AV on the back porch has gone from

"she was smiling and talking on her cell phone" to

"she was smiling on the back porch" to

"she appears to be smiling on the back porch" to

"her mouth is open and her teeth are showing"

what description do we see next??

I don't know what the unreleashed pictures show and those who describe it keep changing the description...

What we do know is that she appears to have fallen on the back porch around 12:31 and at 12:38 she's still on the ground, obviously injured. We also know there was one and probably more people present during that period...

This partially explains the comments by the players and the cabbie's concern that someone was hurt... Which tells us there were probably 4 or more of the guys present when she fell...

Two things come to mind, either she fell really hard and knocked herself goofy and couldn't get up and the guys were afraid to move her, or else they thought it was funny and just left her there because they thought she was just falling down drunk...

Just curious why she was on the ground so long...

If the AV said that the only thing Seligman did to her was to force her to perform orally- why was he indicted for rape ?
How long before Kim , Wendy Murphy, KG, et al- claim that the AV was actually forced into the cab and that's where some of the attacks happened ?

No scratches on his arms or damage to his clothes ... his shirt is tucked in.

Per FOX...Daddy's been talking again...says she wishes she'd never brought these charges. Says she and family membes have received death threats 'around the community.'

Has ANYone heard a peep from or about Kim?

"Stop the attacks on the victim," group leader Malik Zulu Shabazz said. "Stop making it appear that the accuser is the criminal instead of the defendants."

Shabazz said his group has been unfairly portrayed as extremists and interlopers in the Durham case. He said the group has wide support in Durham and will remain involved in the case "for the long run."

I wonder if by "around the community" he means the black community.

Anyone can spot race-pandering anymore. It's become so commonplace.

Thank You maggie!! He has dark shorts on in the pic...I assumed the watch picture was Reade because of the red shirt. Must have been another player.
