/Mangum will break from the pressure and confess that she's lying.

If the AV breaks from the pressure, she is likely to say that she has told the truth, but has decided not to proceed because of the stress.

Accuser's Father Has 'No Doubt' His Daughter Is Telling The Truth
Third Duke Lacrosse Player Indicted In Alleged Rape

POSTED: 12:57 am EDT May 16, 2006

EXCERPT

The accuser's father showed his face and talked about his daughter minutes after one of the men accused of raping her claimed to be completely innocent.

"It makes you mad. It makes you angry. They say she's a false accuser before this has even gone to trial," he said.

Dave Evans, the third Duke Lacrosse player to be arrested and charged with the crime, spoke out on live television before turning himself in on Monday. Evans said that none of the suspects had done anything wrong and that the accuser had told a lie.

"No. No. She would never do something like that. She would have no reason to," her father said.

The accuser's father said that if his daughter had her way, all of this would be over and she could get on with her life. He said she is pressing on with the case because it is the right thing to do.

The accuser's father called Monday's gathering at the jail nothing more than a sick performance.

"Nothing he said gives me any doubt of what my daughter said. I'm wondering why the other two boys haven't come forward and said the same thing before they got him. It just doesn't add up to me," the accuser's father said.

He said that his daughter has been telling the truth all along and that eventually it would be proven in a court of law.

Durham mayor has questions about Duke's report on lacrosse case
AARON BEARD
Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. - Police did not tell city leaders they had any concerns about the credibility of a woman who said she was raped at a party thrown by Duke University's lacrosse team, Mayor Bill Bell said Tuesday, adding he's seen nothing to suggest officers haven't vigorously investigated the case.

But Bell directed the city manager to ask police about a report released Monday by Duke, which concluded the university's administration was slow to respond to the allegations in part because city police initially said the accuser "kept changing her story and was not credible."............



Seems he is doing it at the direction of the mayor.

"I'm wondering why the other two boys haven't come forward and said the same thing before they got him. It just doesn't add up to me," the accuser's father said."


He's already started with the "Why didn't they say they were innocent" line regarding Reade and Collin....

They both should have made strong statements as well.

I keep going back to: Why Krogers and not the Police Department directly? Why not just call 9-11? That's what she threatened to do?

How many times have they picked her up and let her go?

I'm laughing at the "She sometimes screams when she sees a white man". Will she sue for loss of income?? Because that kinda eliminates her white cliental.

She must scream a lot then, since she was gang raped by three black men as well.

Bell and Lavonia Allison, together, continually come up in "engine search" articles.

Something smells really **bad** about the Durham "government".

No, no! Don't forget Chalmers. He came up regularly at one point in our research threads. I don't immediately recall his "role" in this disgusting piece of injustice on display; but his ties need to be re-looked at.

But they did. Reade Seligmmann signed an affidavit saying the same thing and CF said, through counsel, the same thing. But they don't have to say anything, they are innocent.

Thanks, maggie. Noticably missing from both of this morning's articles about Baker is whether Duke officer Day's recollection of Durham PD's Sgt. Shelton saying the accuser original claim that 20 players raped her was in error.

Baker can chide Day for eavesdropping and only hearing "one side of the conversation", but that doesn't mean Crystal didn't say exactly what Shelton told his watch commander back at the station she had said.

Why didn't the DPD take Kim's name at Kroger's, or search her car?

Crystal's father is DOCUMENTED, heavily, as changing his "story" at every twist. He is not credible.

I have a question about Pirro's assertion that the DNA was on top of the fingernail. How would she know this and why wouldn't Cheshire say that yesterday?

Not the same as standing up in public and looking people in the eye, though. Not the same effect.

I kinda came to the conclusion that SOMETHING happened 3 years after she claimed rape (It's the only thing that makes sense.....and that the old "I got raped" thing came up. Did she use the "I got raped thing" as a response to "Crystal, why do you do these kinds of things".

Didn't the father say that one of the 3 boys in the "early rape" case was her brother?

I simply don't believe much of what the press has reported. They do "excerpts" and that puts things out of context.

I have wondered the same thing - what if a DA has a breakdown or hallucinates and presses absurd charges, what recourse is there? Does the state take over? Or does everybody stand back and let the guy run wild as he/she takes people with solid alibis to trial and ruins them not just financially?

Because at the time Kim was telling a "good Samaritan" story that she found Crystal wandering by the side of the road. The DPD let her go with that. Only later did they come to understand her deeper involvement in the evening.

I believe it was a boyfriend in the earlier case.

Hopefully, she will stay true to form and bail on her accusations. Except that she may be in too deep herself this time.

I kind of want a trial now. That will clear the air and the player's names.

So in other words.

If Evans had a brother at the house in the last week/month (college guys are slobs you know) that could be the source of the DNA on the nail.
