Duke Lacrosse Player: 'I'm Absolutely Innocent'

We know but the DA is not!

It really does strike me strange that the DA is not willing to speak with the defense at all.

Evans is the same player the accuser identified with 90 percent certainty in an earlier photo line-up.

Defense attorneys have stressed that the DNA results do not conclusively match that of any member of the team and that the lineup was flawed.

Cheshire said that during the lineup, the accuser told police she would be 100 percent sure of the identification if Evans had a mustache — something he said his client has never had.

Man, if any good comes from this, it will be to focus attention on out-of-control prosecutors such as Fitz and Nifong.

Where is Mike Nifong going with this?!

Unless the defense is lying, there appears to be no solid evidence that the players are guilty of anything but bad taste in strippers!

Can anyone speculate on Nifong's reasons for dragging this out - other than he has delusions of grandeur?!

Memo to the dirtbag D.A.: how do you explain your little angel alleged victim working as a stripper for an escort service?

What about her history of unsubstantiated rape charges against 3 prior men?

How about her bizarre and hystrionic demeanor?

Hey I am sorry, but false rape charges (and convictions) are fairly common in the USA. The facts and evidence strongly support the defense. And the evidence so far is devastating to what appears to be a politicalized and corrupt prosecution.

The Duke lads are being persecuted here.

Be sure to check the thread on DU - keep Barf Bucket next to chair. Then, pray that Jury Nullification is an unknown term in NC...

I don't know why, but everytime I read about this case, I think about this cartoon.

I hope this is the righteous indignation of the innocent. I would love this story to turn out to be fabricated.

She said they said. I don't think that the DA can even prove that she was raped at the LAX house.
