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.

I totally agree with your. President Brodhead not only showed a totally lack of common sense and lack of leadership, but he canceled the entire lacrosse season even though only three players were accused. He all but begged for this to happen.

Me neither. BTW, there are some families who'd offspring were murdered in Durham making a huge STAND tonight in NC. 6 months ago, murdered in Durham. These parents and yes, I started blubbering with them, wanna know WHY this Duke case got sent to a SECOND DNA lab for analysis; but absolutely NOTHING, no leads, no DNA tests done in re their cases.

The father of one of the murdered said if he has to stand on a street corner to continue to bring attention to the unsolved mystery of his son's murder, he'd do it -- every day. (That's when I lost it; I was right there with him.)

“Just as an example--speaking hypothetically--if I had a witness who saw her right before this and she was not intoxicated,

Yep, try to use the cab driver's statement and then bring up old charges to discredit him.

and then I had a witness who said that she was given a drink at the party and after taking a few sips of that drink acted in a particular way,

Sure, everyone will believe a stripper with a criminal record who changed her story when a deal was made in her favor.

That is all the prosecutor has! Finally, we see the DA's case!!!

They need to depose Kim and ask her where in the house exactly the drink was spilled so they can test the carpet

Agreed. And ask her to retrace what happened, exactly, after she and CGM went to the bathroom, and she (Kim) exited, leaving CGM there.

CGM had 5 "jobs" at hotels that weekend. She named 3 people who had sex with her recently. 2 "drivers" and her "boyfriend". Changed her story no rape/rape, number of attackers changed, claimed Kim was in the bathroom with her, etc., etc., etc,.....

Even a crooked DA should have steered clear of this one....

Might be so well known even the judge could take "judicial notice" of it - LOL.

If they bring in eyewitnesses to attest to the Condition of the alleged victim's vagina: this will be one of the longest cases in history.

"Who? Folks from the Tandy Leather Company?"

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

I remember reading where a reporter for the NCCU paper said that she was told an "unflattering" story of the accuser by a neighbor of the AV while she was at the neighbor's Barb-Q cookout - Maybe they were all witnesses to her private area too!

BTW, the reportette decided not to run the story because it did not reflect well on the AV. There's a journalist for you

As an alum, Brodhead's actions were despicable. He threw his own students, coach, and University's good name, under the bus to curry favor with the dingbat DA and local politicians. As a practical matter, he conceded that every Duke lacrosse player was a rapist or criminal of some type. It is now obvious that there was no rape or sexual assault of any kind and this was nothing more than a high-tech lynching. Brodhead had the unmitigated gall to lecture others, forming these idiotic committees to come to pre-determined conclusions so they can all backslap each other as they taste the most exquisite wine. As far as he was concerned, he was more than happy to offer up three white male students to satiate the crowds and if it means lacrosse is gone, so much the better. Of course, who knows what the dingbat President has done to yield rates for incoming freshman or how long it will take Suke to recover, if it does. Whoe would send their white sons (and our house are double Dukies) to Durham (where they will be targeted) or to Duke (where they will also be targeted).

Brodhead must go.

Race baiting........rile up the mob.....nothing more and nothing less.

Mobs ARE stupid; always have been, always shall be. It's the emotion and stupiity that binds. And this wasn't only about race, but also class warfare.

class

One report not only told us that the bond was paid by Cashier's check (OMG), but told us the bank it was drawn on (SunTrust).

Unprecedented. The News Corpse were out for these players from the beginning because to them this story verified all their beliefs and suspicions.

Given this new information I wonder if she has tested positive for any STD. If she has then the fact that condoms were not used wouldn't at least one of the accused have some evidence of STD by this time?

Maybe Nifong meant, after seeing the Medical report - HE would've worn a Condom?

After hearing about CGM's activities, I'd put a condom on the poor broomstick. 2 condoms.
