Unfortunately, a PC lynch mob mentality pervades much of media on such matters.
This case isn't difficult. A crazy woman who drinks and/or takes drugs has a disagreement over money with the guys she was supposed to put on a show for. She and her girlfriend call police and claim they were called the N word. Then when the same girlfriend can't get her out of the car, SHE tries to get the police to help her.
The accuser is on her way to a drunk tank when she remembers - she was raped!!
The tragedy is that this case ever made it past 72 hours.
I have to go, but one thing about your story that concerns me - A Durham jury will be evaluating it.
A contributing editor to Rolling Stone wrote this about
another Black Jury:
"Nobody is what you would call pro-O.J. He's pathetic, a really poor standard-bearer for any standard you want. But a lot of people who are frustrated with the way people of color are treated before the law were simply pleased that, for once, a black person beat the system.''

You could say exactly the same thing about Crystal (AV) in the Duke case. She's Pathetic, a really poor standard-bearer for any standard - but, A LOT OF PEOPLE, were glad "a black person beat the system."
TWO PEOPLE DIED and the prevailing sentiment was to see a black person beat the system. A Durham Jury will deliver as many convictions as Nifong asks them to.

If it were up to the DPD it wouldn't have.
Shame on this race hustling rube of a DA.
