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.

It's possible that CGM is already on prescribed medicines for her breakdowns....

I would agree, except for her falling down the steps....but she was missing her shoe.
And Kim said she could not perform I thought it was 1/2 drunk 1/2 panic attack in at Kroger's

One could speculate on what she had prior to the party.

Wouldn't common sense tell the SANE nurse to do a blood draw to check for date rape drugs, considering she was reporting a rape, and a rape kit was used? How can that slip past anyone?
____

Maybe, because the false accuser gave an account of what happened including the way in which she was "raped" the SANE nurse assumed she was not drugged.
Maybe?

If the accuser was "out of it" as the reports indicate, she should have been tested for potential overdoses of drugs.

My guess is that she was tested and no rape drug was found, but other stuff was and that is why Nifong is keeping it from the defense. He knows they will leak it to the press.

I cannot imagine Nifong having a positive result for a date rape drug weeks ago, and not mentioning it to a reporter or allowing a reporter to see it like he did with the DNA/fingernail report.

"....sober then was given a drink and then immediately became impaired."

"immediately"....I don't think that is possible with a drug taken orally.....absorption and distribution to the brain where it can take effect takes a long time with oral drugs, although it is very nearly "immediate" with inhaled/smoked or intravenous drugs......

Thank you for the pings.


No tox report after Nifong hinted to the use of a date rape drug.


Add this to the other times he has mislead the media, such as "I would not be surprised if condoms were used." The AV stated no condoms were used. Also ...

http://www.herald-sun.com/durham/4-734330.html

Cheshire added that he doesn't think Nifong can argue that the accuser was raped by men who wore condoms or who used inanimate objects. The accuser and another exotic dancer hired to perform at the party, Kim Roberts, have said one of the players brandished a broomstick.

He contended that condoms would have left trace evidence, and noted that police haven't seized a broomstick or some other object that could have been used in an attack.

And let's not forget, the person said to have given the accuser the drink was none other than Kim Roberts.

maybe they found heroin and/or cocaine/crack in her and that is why Nifong wants to suppress it?

the combination is referred to as "speedball", and it is often used by pimps in connection with "turning" one of his girls out", because it (the combination) is soooo effective at lowering inhibitions

You think Nifong is going to say the report is being kept secret to protect CGM?

If so, why didn't he say the report would not be there the day of the hearing and explain why?

Did the search warrant list drugs?

Why wait and then be made to look bad when the defense hollers about the lack of a tox report?

What can he say now to explain the fact that it's not there, or to explain why he didn't tell the defense it wouldn't be there?

It's one of the first things the defense is going to look for.

No, but "pills" is on the list of seized items.

Just the word "pills", no other info.

I wouldn't be so sure. She could have refused to give them a blood sample. She's loopy enough to have done something like that.

I wonder if Dan and/or Yale will have any extra info on The Abrams Report about the missing or no Tox report.
