Duke rape case set for 2007

DURHAM, N.C.—One of three Duke University lacrosse players charged with rape wants the case resolved in time for the next school year, his lawyer said in court yesterday. But the judge warned he will not fast-track the proceedings.

The case "is not going to jump ahead of the line and be handled any differently," Superior Court Judge Ronald L. Stephens said at a hearing for sophomore Reade Seligmann.

After the brief hearing, District Attorney Mike Nifong said he does not expect any trial to begin before next year.

The euphemism used, in this case, make the Victorians look RAUNCHY and foul mouthed. LOL

I bet that she screamed "rape", that night, because she thought that DCFS was going to take her out of wedlock, the first from and adulterous affair, away from her.

this was predictable. The News Corpse printed and broadcast every Rumor early on that made this crime seem more brutal and the perpetrators more evil (such as the Players requesting two black strippers (which never happened)).

Now when the information is coming out showing it was not what it seemed, the Drive-by media is moving on. This case gets less coverage every day, even when news like this is coming out.

Nancy Grace - covering Natilie Holloway
Greta - covering Natalie Holloway

The Internet news searches are virtually empty on this subject (Duke).

You certainly knew Grace would not mention any such evidence as this. Gretta surprised me a bit starting with a year old mystery?

Now THAT is really funny! :-)

BTW......ulcers are caused by a germ; NOT by stress. Oh yes, and they can also be caused by an over usage of aspirin. Just those two things...nothing else!

Wonder if the Defense has enough to file a complaint with the bar now. I'm sure it will happen nut not quite sure what the timing will be. Not for nothing, but attorneys don't like stuff like this marking the integrity of their profession. It happened here and it was ONE OF THE BIGGEST criminal attorneys in Town.

Not surprising to me. She was on O'Reily earlier talking about this case. Most of these hosts are just reacting to what a few reporters like Megan Kendal turn up.

She HAS to discuss this at some point in her show..

I cannot believe she's spent 15 mins on Aruba.

I too suspect that the "drivers" are PIMPS;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I think you nailed it there. Why would both "drivers" be a potential source for DNA inside her - this from the AV herself.

And we should be open to finding out this was a much larger operation than first thought. Did these 2 Drivers/Pimps/drug suppliers both work for her boyfriend?

5 separate round trips to a HOTEL in one weekend. That has Call-girl or prostitute written all over it. Prostitute's regularly get hotel rooms and then work from there.

And people forget - this party was on Monday night. These PIMPS are saying that within 24-48 hours of the party, she had 5 separate round trips to a Hotel and the AV herself also said the she has sex with her "boyfriend" and the two drivers in that time period also. That's 8 different men/sexual events that she is WILLING to admit too.

That Swelling could've come from Jesse Jackson - or a number of common infections or STDs- this is ridiculous.
The number 1 risk factor for the common infections that cause swelling is new or multiple sexual partners.

Thank you for the correction. Running un-opposed doesn't give the people much choice, does it?

In four decades of disciplining lawyers, the State Bar has punished only two prosecutors for withholding evidence. Both were put on a form of probation, in which they could continue to practice law as long as they broke no more laws and consulted with a mentor.

Nifong? LOL.

Even having a partner who is alcohol 'impaired' would cause swelling.

Asked Kim to confirm "That's a crock"

I heard that, but I missed the context. What was she calling a crock... the rape story itself, or some other part of Crystal's story?

Who was interviewing Kim?

Thank you for connecting all of the dots, so concisely.

There is no case against the Duke boys, there NEVER was a case against the Duke boys, and your name sake is a mordant idiot and a political whore.

Yes, you are right.

I read where divorce lawyers are having to change their tactics due to scientific evidence that Ulcers are NOT caused by stress. At one point, they were used in alimony, etc.

Ulcers are NOT caused by stress. But, it didn't stop several talking heads from pointing to Ulcers as proof the AV is really suffering from this case.

DPD interviewing
Since Kim was in the bathroom, DPD asked about the rape. Kim said "That's a crock."
I think :-)

Greta just said "Coming up later, is Mike Nifong hiding something from the defense?"

Mrs. Kendall on Fox reported that according to Defense sources looking through the documents provided in Discovery, that at one point the AV says the Kim was in the Bathroom during the Gang-Rape, when investigators asked Kim about this, she said that is a CROCK.
