This bothers me.. We know Kim Roberts lied and lied that night. We know her record of embezzlement, her record of eluding arrest (outstanding warrant), we know she didn't pay restituion as she had agreed to in writing. We know she wanted to take advantage of this "opportunity."
I just read (re-read to confirm) the feuding neighbor's (Jason Bissey) statement on Camera to Rita Cosby. He said he saw the women ARRIVE in the SAME car, a player came out to their car and then they walked around to the back door, he even described what each wore. The rest of Bissey's story jives with what reportedly happened that night.
We only have the "word" of two convicts that they didn't know each other beforehand. Even if they didn't know each other, the strippers could be hiding something by saying they arrived separately. Crystal could've been dropped off and then got in Kim's car, they could've bought drugs or went to buy some wine, etc.
I believe the Neighbor's (Bissey's) inital statement that turned out to be accurate in so many other respects. There's no telling why they would lie about pulling up together in the same car. Kim Roberts lied about other things that night to stay out of trouble, so it's no stretch to believe they are hiding some other activity just before the entered the house - an activity that would cast them or their story in doubt.
Bissey's Comments:
JASON BISSEY, LIVES NEXT DOOR TO ALLEGED CRIME SCENE: " I noticed a car drive up and two young women get out, met with the gentleman and then walked back to the back of the house. Two young women, one of them dressed in a short skirt and high heels, and the other woman was dressed a little more conservatively spoke with the gentleman outside of this door here briefly, and then at this point, all of the young men were inside. "

The defense has said that they arrived separately. If Jason Bissey is right, then the defense would have to be lying since a player saw them arrive together. Bissey is the only one who said they came together.
I remember Bissey's account very well. After it came out that Kim was saying they didn't go to the house together, Bissey slightly changed his story. He then STARTED his story with the two women being led to the back/side door, leaving out the part about the arrival. Bissey doesn't like the lacrosse guys and, reportedly, has called the cops on them four times. Taken altogether, I don't know how confidently Bissey can be relied on to stick to his original account that included the women arriving at midnight. Cell phone records will be helpful.
