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.

there is speculation, but it was the Judge, Judge Stephens that Hinted the phone was owned by a third party in open court - and that there are privacy issues.
If that phone is not owned by a relative, I am sure that LE would look at that like aliases. Honest people do not need aliases either.
The phone supports E911. 360 hours of standby time.
Audiovox sold out to another company and the model became CDM9900, but verizon still called it the VX9900.
I think this is the phone listed as VX9900 on the warrant:

Is The District Attorney In The Duke Lacrosse Rape Scandal Turning A Blind Eye To Valuable Evidence?
The Cold, Hard Proof That Suggests The Three Defendants Are Innocent
By JONNA SPILBOR
----
Friday, May. 19, 2006
On Monday, May 15, a Durham County grand jury handed up a third indictment in the nothing-short-of-notorious Duke rape case. This latest indictment charges the lacrosse team's captain, David Evans, with first-degree rape, first-degree sexual assault, and first-degree kidnapping.
The charges against Evans are identical to those handed up last month against fellow players Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty. Still, this final indictment does come as a bit of surprise. As I detailed in a prior column, the cases against Seligmann and Finnerty appear quite weak. As I'll discuss in this column, the case against Evans may be even shakier.

Does this article warrant its own thread?
According to Sean Hannity, the defense says it has plenty of exculpatory information they haven't shown the press.
Willie Drewery, age 31
Hillsborough, NC
looked him up for addresses and past addresses:
2 in Hillsborough
1 address in Elizabeth, NJ
1 address in Newark, NJ
Other info:
"Willie Drewery owns the domain name for Bunnyhole Entertainment, but he is supposedly located in New Jersey. If he's the same Drewery as this one, he's 31 years old and a dangerous fellow."

New Charges in Shooting
Prosecutors have dropped murder charges against a man who had been accused of killing a retired police chief from Hanover, N.J., saying they had arrested another suspect.
On Saturday, Willie E. Drewery, 20, of Newark, was charged with murdering the former chief, John Deventer, 65, who was shot while trying to help two elderly friends who had been set upon by robbers during a visit to a cemetery.
Yesterday, the police arrested Thomas Cross, 24, of Irvington in connection with the murder. They are still looking for a suspected accomplice, Warren Drew Jenkins, 30, of Newark. But Mr. Drewery remains charged with attempted murder, after he fired shots at the cemetery in a separate family dispute near the time of the other shooting.
Yes, and I think Megyn Kendall, the number one newsbabe, has said the same thing.
I read that she has little or no background in broadcasting. She was just a practicing attorney who decided to give it a try. Kind of like a walk-on for a basketball team.
updates:
1) Abrahms guest said the nurse asked the if condoms were used and she said no. "Magic Condom" is now gone, along with the "Magic broomstick".
2)Apparently, according to chatter on the Duke fansite, the FA (False Accuser)called her boyfriend (yet unconfirmed) when she was preparing to leave the house.
3) new word: fong (fông) v. - to prosecute a case without merit to the point of misconduct. Ex: The DA fonged the case so bad he was thrown out of office and run out of town.

4) Exchange between Tucker Carlson and Wendy Murphy
CARLSON: Lets do this. Look intoyoure filibustering me, but Im going to ask you this until you answer. And heres my question. Its very simple. I want you to look into the screen and I want you to tell me and our viewers that doubts are not beginning to mount in your mind about the prosecution in this case. Are they?
MURPHY: No. No doubts. No doubts in my mind...
CARLSON: Really?
MURPHY: ... about what the prosecution is doing.
CARLSON: Wendy. Ive got a cult you need to join.
MURPHY: All right. Seligmann is charged with two counts, one rape, one sexual assault.
CARLSON: Thats correct.
MURPHY: One regular intercourse. One is a different type of penetration.
CARLSON: Yes.
MURPHY: However, if you read the transcript of her identification process, when she talks about Seligmann, he says, What did he do?
He forced me to perform oral sex.
CARLSON: Thats correct.
MURPHY: Anything else? No, nothing else.
CARLSON: Thats right.
MURPHY: Where did the two charges come from? Im just being honest as a critic of the evidence. I want to know the answer to that question. Am I fair or what?
5) FWIW, here's the link the the alleged victim's support sight.

6) Was there a confirmation of no date rape drug?

Thanks for the ping.
New word = fong....lol.
Wendy Murphy needs to get "fonged."
I think she's fonged in the head.
She is a despicable female.
She really has "issues" with men.
Do you have a link or the name of the Duke fansite?
Is it your understanding that the defense now has the toxicolgy report? Nifong was required to turn it over yesterday.. right?
Thanks for the ping.
Phone number for Bunnyhole Entertainment leads to these adds placed on various websites, including craigslist.

Dear Reade, I am so sorry for what you endured yesterday from the media and the ignorant haters. The way you conducted yourself in the courtroom inspired pride in all of our hearts.
The wall of lies against you, Collin and Dave is crumbing down. Have faith. Hold your head up, continue to be strong and know your team mates and their families are standing with you.

A delay before trial is better for the defense than the prosecution. Crystal is a druggie, a slut, and an alcoholic. No matter how much money she gets from outside, she will spend it all on drugs and need more.
Now if in about 3 or 4 months someone were to offer her a substantial chunk of money, say $10k, to do a part in an "adult" film, she might take it. After all, her sex life isn't admisible.
Now of course it may not be admissible, but when the DVD shows up all over town, it is going to become common knowledge. It will be hard to prevent the entire jury pool from hearing about it...
Pretty much.
There is night court in some places, but it's not widely spread.
I still am wondering if defense counsel can, and if so, will, file in federal district court for an order directing the state court to set the case for a "speedy" trial within a specific time frame, like 60 to 90 days. in CA, a defendant has to waive time in order for a trial to be set more than 45 days beyond arraignment, and that even includes misdemeanor cases in which no bail was posted, such as cases where the defendant is released on his "own recognizance" instead of having to post bail or bond. Yet NC has no such requirement, and the excuse is, "Well, they're out on bail so they don't need a speedy trial." Uneffingbelievable. And no probable cause hearing, yet no requirement for the prosecutor to present exculpatory evidence to the GJ, and using an indicting GJ in the first place for all threshold felony cases. Apparently there has not been a constitutional scholar darken the inside of the NC state supreme court or its appellate courts in a good long while, if ever. This is really, really scary stuff. I wonder how many lefties there are in NC who're bitching about the NSA and phone records, yet they're living in a state where they are subjected to laws that are little better than the kangaroo courts found in feudal law and trials by ordeal of a thousand years ago, at least as it pertains to rights guaranteed by the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments.
If you don't like name calling how about for the hired help slipping and falling on your steps? The truth does not matter if you can make a two decade threat to your liberty go away.
