GRACE: The Blue Devils! It may not be just a nickname at Duke University, the lacrosse team under fire, one of the most elite athletic teams in the university amidst allegations of gang rape.
Tonight, joining us a very special guest, Jennifer Minnelli, the neighbor of the lacrosse players` house. Well, it`s actually a house where several lacrosse players lived. Welcome, Jennifer. Have you had problems with these guys?
JENNIFER MINNELLI, NEIGHBOR OF HOUSE WHERE ALLEGED RAPE HAPPENED: Yes, we`ve had many problems with them in the past. These students have -- a small subset of students have caused a major public health nuisance within our community.
GRACE: In what way?
MINNELLI: In terms of garbage being left out on the lawn, date rape, alcohol poisoning, driving while intoxicated.
GRACE: Wait, wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa~! Hold on, Jennifer. Elizabeth, can I ask you -- let`s go to the Liz cam. Could you tell me what their good ranking athletically has to do with rape allegations? Don`t look away! We see you. OK. All right. Go ahead, Jennifer.
MINNELLI: Well, I was just saying that they -- generally, this small group of men have caused a major public health nuisance in our community.
GRACE: Of course, those are allegations. Question to you, Jennifer. Have you ever had to call police on them before?
MINNELLI: Several times.
GRACE: About?
MINNELLI: About noise and about public urination.
There was a woman neighbor who is also a witness to "screaming," etc., correct?
That woman gave an interview the very next night and her list was pared down. She didn't say date rape for sure the next night.
I'm thinking someone may have notified her of the slander provisions in the law.
I bet she thinks her sh!t doesn't stink... Sorry, that's what I think of people like her.
