This is NO SURPRISE to Veterans of the Courtroom. It was 'predictable':

5-8-06: On Fox Greta, Bernie Grimm: You know the Durham PD is going to deny this story.. They will deny it ever happened. They will deny it on the stand

5-9, Abrams Report; Susan Filan, commenting on the Officer that informed Duke of the woman claiming Rape by 20 White Men: You hang out that Police officer to dry

We knew this was coming.

Actually according to the article you posted, they are not denying it, they are just claiming the Duke Officer was listening to a conversation and did no follow up.

In other words, DPD is saying the Duke officer only heard half the story.

They are definitely trying to down play it, but they aren't denying it was said.
