The list of persons interviewed for the Bowen-Chambers report included no one from the Durham Police Department.See # 106
The manager, as he has in the past, also defended the department's handling of the investigation. Some people have criticized the department for not searching the alleged crime scene until March 16, two days after the alleged rape.
"Although we were not able to immediately interview the complaining witness upon our initial receipt of her complaint, we were able to complete our initial interview with her within 36 hours of the alleged incident and executed a search warrant for the 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. residence one day later," Baker wrote. "We also conducted extensive consensual interviews with three of the members of the Duke Lacrosse team immediately after the execution of the search warrant."
I want to let people know what is going on in Durham. I was on the road tonight at 5:50 pm EST and listening to 0680 AM, WPTF, the talk show's host is Bill LuMaye.
A black woman called in from Durham. She said that everyone knows the accuser. She said a neighbor of hers works in the DA's office and that the DA has kept the neighborhood updated on the case. She said IN THE NEXT WEEK, you are going to see evidence that absolutely PROVES one of the players raped this woman. She scolded the White callers to the show. She also said that her neighborhood KNOWS (they've been told) that the team ordered a Black stripper.
She went on that they basically wanted to abuse a black stripper and they're sick... (time ran out).
I'M NOT saying this is true. I'm saying this gives insight to how many of the black people in Durham feel about this case. This woman was incensed that White people don't believe this woman. And we know, some white people do.
If you remember most white Americans were shocked that a black Jury (O.J.) could hear a case for ONE YEAR and then decide the case in 45 minutes. Whites were shocked how much differently blacks viewed the case. I think history is repeating itself here (IMO).
