I think this case is over, and I'm gonna miss everyone! :)

Have no fear...the new standard in the legal system is to try these cases in the press...some other DA, who is trying to get reelected or score political points to further his career or taint the jury pool will ensure that we all meet again, soon....and should that not happen....some defense attorney will try to defend some creep thru the press.

All in all...the press will be there.....and so will we.

Howlin and everyone: Do you know the answer to #959?

[maggief]

I heard the reporter, and the name sounded like "Landon"



BUMP!

[Carolinamom]

Now we know for sure why the FALSE ACCUSSER was 30 minutes late getting to the house.

[Howlin]

They have given every indication that they know where she was.

I'm sure they have investigators out.

Greta off the story..........rerun on Nancy shortly.

[investigateworld]

Prior sexual history of the victim would not be allowable in California courts.
However, if in her statements to the police, she said she did not have consensual sex, the court might allow it to impeach her testimony.

[Publius22]

I'm sure Nifong had the semen donor arrested recently.

[Peach]

Definitely. She had another date.

[Peach]

What channel is Nancy on?

[GAgal]

I wonder if it can be shown how "old" the semen found in her was?

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Without having gone back to check the wording of the NC rape shield statute, I believe it would be allowable into evidence here if the defense attorneys can convince the trial judge that the prior sexual activity is probative of the issue as to how the injuries to her genital area were sustained, and the probative value in this case whould outweigh any prejudicial effect, and I would expect a judge to so rule.

[Howlin]

CNN Headline News. It's getting ready to start.

[Peach]

Watching now;;; found it.

[Howlin]

I'm sure Nifong had the semen donor arrested recently.

LOL!

[Howlin]

You can transcribe to see if I was accurate!

[don'tbedenied]

"Prior sexual history of the victim would not be allowable in California courts."

Even if the evidence might refute the rape kit analysis? I have to doubt that. If she had rough sex immediately prior to the party that would have to be admissible (not to prove she's a slut that's a given) but to prove someone else could have caused the "trauma consistent with rape".

[Swanks]

Even Kimberly Guilfoyle seemed this afternoon to be ready to throw in the towel one this one.

On Gibson today she played an expert on cults, and how to negotiate with this morman bigamist holed up somewhere in TX. (She could have handled Waco better, but she was 10 years old at this time).

Tonight she will go back to playing feminist, strong, articulate lawyer for an hour.

[Howlin]

The press told Cheshire that the DA's office gave it to them.

[Swanks]

"Prior sexual history of the victim would not be allowable in California courts."

I think "Prior sexual history" refers to years gone by. Not ten minutes ago.

[Rheo]

The press told Cheshire that the DA's office gave it to them.

Yep...two or three days before the defense got it....gee...I am so surprised that the info didn't get reported before the press conference.
