Defense Calls for Evidence in Duke Rape Case
WTVD/Durham ^ | May 22, 2006 | AP

Posted on 05/22/2006 4:05:16 PM PDT by zaxxon

Lawyers representing one of three Duke University lacrosse players charged with rape want details about any toxicology tests performed on the accuser, asking in a motion filed Monday whether such evidence even exists.

"No such toxicology report, if it exists, was provided to the defense," wrote attorneys Kirk Osborn and Ernest Conner, referring to nearly 1,300 pages of evidence prosecutors provided to defense attorneys last week. The attorneys represent Reade Seligmann, one of three lacrosse players charged with raping a woman hired to perform as a stripper at a March 13 team party.

Seligmann's attorneys want a judge to order prosecutors to provide any reports "generated from blood, urine or other biological samples" collected from the accuser. In the motion, they cited a story published in Newsweek earlier this month that said District Attorney Mike Nifong "hinted" such tests would reveal the presence of a date-rape drug.

Authorities have said a doctor and specially trained nurse performed a physical exam on the accuser that found evidence of sexual assault. But the nurse who filled out a report on that exam indicted no toxicology tests were performed, according to the defense motion.

Nifong declined to comment.

I have no clue. But, he and Nifong have backed themselves into a corner.

Saw it all on H&C.

This case is just soooooooooooooooooo OVER!

The ONLY civil suits that should be brought, are ones BY the Duke boys AGAINST Nifong!

Durham is gonna get sued for sure.

How do people like Colmes keep thinking Nifong's got something? One would assume the fact that Nifong is legally required to turn his evidence over to the defense would logically lead to only two conclusions: One, Nifong got nada or ; two, Nifong is unethically withholding evidence. It's got to be one or the other Alan and Wendy!

I'm speechless. So much for the mother/student portrayal. I don't understand her relationship with the "drivers", since she had a "boyfriend" and "clients" three times a week.

Who believed that story anyhow? Early on many FReeper pointed out that she was a hooker, I mean escort.
My rhetorical questions excludes the MSM, even Hannity couldn't quite get the word Ho out of his mouth tonight.

Durham AND Nifong should be sued for a LOT of money, by these boys!

As for Colmes.....well, he's just an idiot. Nifong is criminally inept, or worse.

Maybe Nifong was laughing in the courtroom on Friday because he knew the jig was up.

Great pic, Warren.

As stated by all above: BIG stuff in those 1300 pages that Liefong has been sitting on. His conduct is so egregious it's almost TOO much to blame it on purely political motivation. He had to know it was gonna come out...

Looks like Greta didn't expect these leaks. Lotta Natalee Holloway coverage and Dick Cheney's daughter slated for tonight's show.

Tucker will probably be all over this. Though he probably erred when he referred to her as a "crypto-hooker." For all the trips this girl was taking to local hotels with her "drivers," there seems to be nothing "crypto" about her behavior...

BOMBSHELLS......FOX is blowing the case wide open
Author: gr8ncrn

Fox reporting
1. FV said she was not raped, changed her mind, again said she was, again said not.
2. Gave 3 names that semen could belong to - 2 of them were her "drivers"
3. She said Kimmy was in the room when rape occurred
4. Kimmy initially said accusation was "piece of crock"

She had two drivers who took her to FIVE 'events' the weekend before this happened?

The girl is D O N E!!!!

I think the only remaining question is how that slimy DA is going to try to wiggle out from under this one. His 'victim' has been well and thoroughly outed already, and he's been exposed for the stupid scumbag he is.

The whole world now knows he propped up a common 'ho into victim status by magnifying her obviously baseless rape accusations in order to go after these young men. I still think he will try to lay low and make it all quietly go away. I hope these young men and their lawyers don't let him.

ENTIRE panel on Greta is tearing Liefong a new one.

Ted Williams said this case is "Game, Set, and Navratilova." Hilarious.
