Roberts showed up on time and collected her $400. The players told her they had requested a white dancer and a Hispanic dancer, and assumed Roberts was Hispanic. The other dancer, who is black, showed up a half-hour later.

There goes Nifong's timeline ... AGAIN.

And she was driving around, trying to dump that "poor girl" she felt so sorry for back at that house!

Yeah, Roberts said in prior interviews they started dancing around Midnight, which fits the Defense photos like a glove.

I don't understand why there aren't more people in the media upset at Nifong's tactics and determination to ignore evidence - contort the evidence to fit his indictments!!

I think it's Dan Abrams and Tucker Carlson.. I really haven't heard anyone else upset with Nifong.

"My main thing is to go in and look as pretty as possible and do a nice little dance for the person who calls," Roberts said. "I don't even know how to make any extra tips from anybody."

Yeah, right. LOL

"the players told her they had requested a white dancer and a Hispanic dancer"

Really, I was sure they had ordered two EX-CONS with mental illness.

Do you mean "class" like in high school, or "classy?"

I"m thinking she got a PR guy.

Roberts told Newsweek that players gave them mixed drinks. She did not drink hers; the other dancer drank half her glass, spilled it and then drank all of Roberts' drink. "She started stumbling," Roberts said. "When I think back on it, she had a glassy look in her eye."

I'd be glassy eyed if I drank 1 1/2 mixed drinks within minutes.

"I had vague notions, one day wearing a power suit and carrying a briefcase," she said.

I just cannot get OVER this:

Elmostafa was charged with a misdemeanor larceny that occurred Sept. 2, 2003, when a woman stole five purses worth $250 from the Hecht's department store at Northgate Mall.

Elmostafa said Wednesday that he had picked up Lisa Faye Hawkins and her daughter at their home and had taken them to the mall. Elmostafa said he waited in the taxi with the daughter while Hawkins shopped and then he drove the two home.

Elmostafa said he later received a call asking him to speak with Hecht's security. The security officer at Hecht's said Hawkins had stolen some purses before getting into the taxi, Elmostafa said.

Elmostafa said he gave the woman's address and a copy of his driver's license to the security guard, who thanked him for his help.

"I am not responsible for what she did inside the store," Elmostafa said. "I am just a taxi driver."

Hawkins pleaded guilty to the larceny three months later.

Elmostafa said he heard nothing about the case until his arrest Wednesday. He spent five hours at the Durham County jail before a friend put up $700 for the bail.





He wasn't even CHARGED in 2003 and NOW they arrest him? That has to be intimidation.

How much money does the city of Durham have anyway?

Racial Determination
http://www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/fsc/backissu/july2000/deedric1.htm#Racial%20Determination

A human hair can be associated with a particular racial group based on established models for each group. Forensic examiners differentiate between hairs of Caucasoid (European ancestry), Mongoloid (Asian ancestry), and Negroid (African ancestry) origin, all of which exhibit microscopic characteristics that distinguish one racial group from another. Head hairs are generally considered best for determining race, although hairs from other body areas can be useful. Racial determination from the microscopic examination of head hairs from infants, however, can be difficult, and hairs from individuals of mixed racial ancestry may possess microscopic characteristics attributed to more than one racial group.

The identification of race is most useful as an investigative tool, but it can also be an associative tool when an individual's hairs exhibit unusual racial characteristics.

Caucasoid (European)
Hairs of Caucasoid or Caucasian origin can be of fine to medium coarseness, are generally straight or wavy in appearance, and exhibit colors ranging from blonde to brown to black. The hair shafts of Caucasian hairs vary from round to oval in cross section and have fine to medium-sized, evenly distributed pigment granules.

Mongoloid (Asian)
Hairs of Mongoloid or Asian origin are regularly coarse, straight, and circular in cross section, with a wider diameter than the hairs of the other racial groups. The outer layer of the hair, the cuticle, is usually significantly thicker than the cuticle of Negroid and Caucasian hairs, and the medulla, or central canal, is continuous and wide. The hair shaft, or cortex, of Mongoloid hair contains pigment granules that are generally larger in size than the pigment granules of Caucasian hairs and which often appear to be grouped in patchy areas within the shaft. Mongoloid hair can have a characteristic reddish appearance as a product of its pigment.

Negroid (African)
Hairs of Negroid or African origin are regularly curly or kinky, have a flattened cross section, and can appear curly, wavy, or coiled. Negroid pigment granules are larger than those found in Mongoloid and Caucasian hair and are grouped in clumps of different sizes and shapes. The density of the pigment in the hair shaft may be so great as to make the hair opaque. A Negroid hair shaft exhibits variation or apparent variation in diameter because of its flattened nature and the manner in which it lies on the microscope slide. Twisting of the hair shaft, known as buckling, can be present, and the hair shaft frequently splits along the length.

His statement HAS to be a problem for Nifong.

This really upsets me. Remember, Kim got her bond conditions changed. (Right around the time she said a rape could have happened.)

He's doing this in front of "God and everybody."

I am stunned.
