I can only speak for me.
I was saying, to me, it's pretty apparent that Brian Taylor's interview with the N&O was orchestrated due to the highly unusual interview and with questions central to the case apparently not even asked. How does that happen? When someone sets the guidelines up front for an interview and when someone is controlling the interview. Was the N&O reporter happy to have this interview with strict limitations because Brian Taylor's whereabouts are unknown and he was "delivered" to an interview (his first & only). The trade off for the reporter was getting the story, even if boxed in. That's the reasoning.
Then Crystal was interviewed by this same REPORTER, in her first and only interview given (N&O), 3/25/06. An N&O editor stated that only portions of that interview with Crystal were published: those consistent with the police report.
NOT a puppet master pulling strings, but a greedy lawyer with exclusive access to the witnesses critical to Crystal's personal and professional life on the weekend preceeding this reported gang-rape. Witnesses that have been unusually quiet and hidden in a case that has attracted so much media attention.
Either these drivers and strippers are very media savvy and policitically adept or someone has been advising them, IMO.
I was using exaggeration to make a point too, to a degree.
I think you're absolutely right that someone is coaching the pro-whore witnesses and arranging for them to be available to media.
Woodshedding in the extreme. Coached to the max. Told how to say it and how not to say it.
Someone sees this as a bundle of opportunities that range from a lawsuit against Duke, to a book deal, to consultant status on the news channels.
After the lengths that the N&O (Snooze and Disturber as it is known in Eastern NC) went to to leave out pertinent information I have serious questions regarding the name used. Until I hear it from the defense side that the name is correct I am assuming it is made up.
