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.

Don't know if anyone caught this on Abrams today, but apparently a police officer waved some ammonia under the accuser's nose when she was "unconscious." The officer (according to the defense) didn't think she was actually unconscious judging by her reaction to the ammonia. Yale Galanter said that people who are genuinely unconscious have a pretty dramatic reaction to being "woken up." Apparently the accuser's reaction was unconvincing to the officer.

VERY similiar to a police officer in the Tawana Brawley case who thought Tawana was also "playing" unconscious.

Unless, of course, the cop was already familiar with Mangum.

Hmmm... did the cop drive her? Was he alone in the car with her - was he her "driver"...?

Ping for possible "malicious prosecution" complaint filed against Nifong..and request for gag order by Nifong..

UNREAL.

Defense- actively pursuing the story about the two "drivers"...and where they drive her, to what purpose.

The defense should say we will shut up if you hold a speedy trial.

Pam Bondi - We don't know all of what the prosecution has now.

Well Pam the DA was suppose to turn it all over. So the defense does know what the DA has and it is nothing.

A bunch of us theorized that Mangum plays possum when it suits her.
Or considering her history of mental instability- she may be decompensating when the going gets rough , having an involuntary psychic break with reality.
Speaking of breaks with reality, Pam Bondi is on H &C validating every blonde stereotype.
The hissing sound from the television is the air leaking from Bondi's head.

I thought it was so ironic that the talking head were talking about how lawyers have it set up that claims against them to the bar are private because JUST ANYONE COULD MAKE CLAIM, without mention of the lacrosse players being dragged through the mud because some hooker made a claim.

Wendy Murphy is a liar. Plus she also strikes me as a sicko with rape fantasies run amok. Why does she want so much for the complaining witness to actually have been raped?
