Duke rape suspect is son of rich & powerful (barf alert)
NY Daily News ^ | 05/17/06 | BY JAMES GORDON MEEK in Washington

Posted on 05/17/2006 3:33:37 AM PDT by Perdogg

The latest Duke University lacrosse player accused of raping a stripper is the product of the rarefied air of Washington power and privilege. Suspect David Evans is the son of Rae Evans, 50, a prominent lobbyist who boasts topnotch links to the Bush family, and David Evans, a partner at one of the capital's most prominent law firms.

Evans' preppie-looking parents stood stiffly behind him Monday as he forcefully rejected the explosive rape case that has ensnared the once top-ranked Duke lacrosse team

Maybe someone should investigate Gordon Meeks parents and rip them!

Oops - left out James in the name. No matter, it's not like he is anyone important.

Since Evans' father lobbied the American Red Cross and his mother is an extremely accomplished woman in DC, I would think they must be at least acquaintances of Elizabeth Dole. What is she doing about this mess in her home state?

I bet Jesse Helms would have put an end to this.

>>This whole thing stinks like the Tawana Brawley extortion.

It's worse. That was simple race hustling. This case is race hustling by a sitting DA with the power of government behind him.

There's plenty of evidence that the Dukelax guys are innocent, not the least of which is a story from the alleged victim that would lead to lots of DNA evidence, and two negative DNA tests, but for her "boyfriend's" semen.

Preppie-looking parents

Yet they wouldn't comment on Kim's outfit, on national tv, her bosoms hanging out.

"Just three white guys will do."

Yep..but three "rich" white guys is a hat trick..slam dunk...sure to garner never ending round-the-clock MSM and cable news coverage.

I posted this a few days ago: From the Fox News article: "According to the Raleigh News & Observer, Evans, along with Matt Zash and Dan Flannery, are the only players known to have talked to police after the stripper reported she was sodomized and sexually assaulted.

This is exactly why I said from the beginning that, even if you are innocent, you should not talk to the cops. Nothing good can come from doing so. Cops/prosecutors will twist, misconstrue, and lie about what you said to them if is serves their purpose. You don't talk to them and there is nothing to twist,misconstrue or lie about.

It is also why you do not submit to requests for DNA if you are innocent. If you are innocent, there is no reason to submit to such a test without a search warrant. If one is issued, you move to quash it. Screw the public perception of refusing to 'cooperate'. you simply say there is nothing to cooperate with because you did not commit a crime and didn't see a crime committed. END OF STORY!!!!

If these three had not talked to the cops, they likely would not be indicted. If the rape/sexual assault charges are dropped, don't be surprised if Nifong goes after them for making false statements to a cop. If you don't talk, you can't make a 'false statement'.

If Libby had refused to 'cooperate' with Fitzpatrick, he would not have been indicted.Libby had no legal duty to discuss anything with Fitzpatrick. Should have simply told Fitzpatrick he didn't do anything illegal and wish him well in getting an indictment.

He who has ears, let him hear.

And the victim will be an innocent choir girl who was forced into stripping because she needed to feed her 2 kids, and racism and discrimination have kept her from getting a real job, even though she was (as Alan Combs keeps yelling) a NAVY VETERAN, and getting good grades in "a really hard class"....

You know, Jerry Meeks is Chairman of the North Carolina Democrat Party. I wonder if the author of this article, James Gordon Meeks, and Jerry Meeks are kin.

Why would you think that?

I am still trying to figure out the point of that sentence.

Well, when I lived in Monroe, there was always whispered talk about "The Voodoo Man" who operated in a rural area towards Wingate.

lol. Because I continue to come across kin relationships in connection to this Duke/Durham story. At this point, like, I said.. I was wondering.

Now, now, Enterprise.. you and I both know, the MSM selectively persecutes whomever they want.. It's not partisan, it's a clairvoyant thing they've got going there... How dare we mere mortals intrude!

If a ho is going to go after someone for a non existent rape (and damages) is she going to go after the guy who delivered the beer? Just my opinion.
