Are you absolutely sure?
That report from Shelton was written with the benefit of hindsight when it written belatedly. They didn't even know her name was Kim Roberts that night.
Shelton may have included things they became aware of later in his report (just like Robert's name).
Durham Police Spokesman Michael said in numerous press conferences that they didn't know the identity of the first 911 caller. They placed ads in the Durham papers and broadcast through locals news requests for the first 911 caller to come forward. Nifong believed the first call was independent corroboration of the wilding of the boys that night.
Double check on that.
Other 45 players go back to normal? .
"Which I take as meaning deciding in the coming weeks of spring about returning to Duke for classes in the fall. And if they want to play lacrosse, maybe they go elsewhere, since Duke President Richard Brodhead and the rest of the big dogs haven't said yea or nay about fielding a team for the upcoming season. But there's also the notion of whether it'll do any good for the players to transfer if the curious stares will follow them wherever they go.
Nothing's normal about that.
The lacrosse boys brought it on themselves, though -- even if the accuser's lying."
They may not have known her name, but they knew it was the same person who drove Mangum to Kroger's. It's in the dispatch tapes.
I think it's clear that neither Shelton nor Roberts are going to perjure themselves to cover Nifong's tail.
