(05/22/06 - DURHAM) - There are new developments in the Duke lacrosse rape investigation. Defense lawyers say they didn't get everything they wanted, when a box full of evidence was handed over.
Nearly 1,300 pages of evidence along with two VHS tapes and a CD ROM with photos on it were turned over last week. Monday morning, two new motions were filed.
Defense lawyers say the box did not contain a toxicology report on the accuser.
They believe one exists citing a Newsweek article in which District Attorney Mike Nifong alludes to the possibility of the date rape drug being used.
The defense also claims they were given an incomplete sexual assault report on the accuser.
They also want the complete cell phone records from the accuser's cell phone.
HA! Right out of the Clinton playbook!
Did the accuser refuse to allow a tox screen?
What excuse can Nifong give for not including it if one exists?
Pinging the DukeLax Ping List.
No Tox report contained in prosecution evidence turned over to defense @ last week's hearing...

If this s true, then Nifong has given the defense teams a baseball bat with which to beat him senseless. Can he be that stupid, disturbed or malevolent?
