The motion also says the alleged victim told Durham police that she had performed for a couple at a Raleigh hotel hours before the Duke lacrosse party. She told police that she used a vibrator. Osborn suggests that could be the source of the vaginal injuries mentioned in the rape kit report. (snip) Osborn says the accuser gave conflicting accounts of what happened. The motion says medical records indicate she told a doctor that she used no alcohol or drugs. The accuser told the sexual assault nurse that she had consumed one drink of alcohol and was taking Flexeril, a prescription drug used to treat muscle spasms.
The alleged victim told a doctor the next day at UNC Hospitals that "she was drunk and had had a lot of alcohol that night," the motion said.
She later told police that she had consumed a 24-ounce bottle of beer and then told police she had two 22-ounce bottles of beer, according to the motion.

This supports the cabbie's account.
MAGGIE !
DID YOU SEE THIS in your posting:
"Later that day, Johnson said, he was taking the accuser to her parents' house in Durham when she asked him to stop so she could go to the bathroom. "She got out of the car and started walking down Creedmoor Rd.," Johnson wrote. "I pulled my car over and got out to chase her down. She told me to leave her alone."
THIS BEFORE THE PARTY. She's acting crazy. She doesn't want to GO HOME!
F*UEOI ME!!
Jezebelle - All,
Look at my last post!
Yes, I did see that!
She's acting nutty BEFORE the party!
Man that's huge. Your posting of this link:
http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/448847.html
That shows mental health issues. Unstableness - FEAR
and she hasn't been anywhere near a lacrosse player.
Looks like she didn't want to go home. See her Father? Her Kids?
Shelton had the right idea when he wanted to have her commited. This will loom large. How do you believe someone acting like this.
Kim Roberts reports her as acting Crazy at one point.
LOL, that's a great story.
When they go down the wrong road, a series of swift kicks in the ass are the only hope. The strong hand of a solid cop friend was surely a blessing and shows the other side of the LE coin that is so absent from the Duke case.
Good luck to you and your boy. I sincerely hope he continues down the right path. He is off the drugs, isn't he? Meth has ruined so many lives and is hard to kick. But the younger ones like your son can make it if they try hard, pick themselves up when they fall off the wagon, and DO NOT have families that enable the behavior of addiction and substance abuse, which you clearly do not.
I agree that people automatically blame the parents. In some cases it's warranted, but in some it isn't. It's not a cut-and-dried issue.
That one item alone, by itself, the fact that she was acting irrationally, unpredictably, and frightened BEFORE the party
It's hard to believe they kept that under wraps until this point. How does Susan Filan and Nancy Grace counter that?
Susan Filan trashed Kim Roberts tonight on Tucker Carlson. What to do now? Roberts is a liar; her driver is a liar; Jason Bissey is a liar: her 2nd driver is a liar; and on
I guess with Zarqawi, understandably, this case was overshadowed. Only scant mention on Tucker and Greta.
Friday is always slow. Abrams maybe.
But, Monday it'll get cranked up and I can't wait until the info you just posted regarding her trying to escape from Crazytown hours before the lacrosse party comes out on Hannity, O'reilly, etc.
I want to hear what Mark Furhman thinks about Nifong proceeding with the knowledge that this woman was acting like she trying to escape the Manson Ranch before the priviliged kids placed a call. This is direct testimony to her state of mind on the day in question.
Wonder how many muscle relaxers she popped after her failed escape attempt?
Great find!
I don't think it runs against common sense for any person not in custody to be able to not consent to a drug test in any kind of case. If somebody has ingested an illegal substance for which s/he can be prosecuted, they have a Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate themselves. I say make the cops get a search warrant for the test. But I would not object to a law that required the requisite samples be drawn and, upon a good cause showing by either the prosecution or the defense, an order for testing of those samples by the court be issued, after notice to the alleged victim, of course. The alternative is this, and this has been done many times: a person claiming to be a crime victim (rape, robbery, what have you) appears to be acting under the influence in such a way that, in absence of the claim of being a victim, the police would take that person into custody for being drunk/drugged in public, drunk and disorderly, etc.. So, the person IS taken into custody and taken to the hospital for whatever treatment or investigative examination needs to be made pertaining to the alleged crime against them, and then they are taken to jail where they are both in custody for being drunk/drugs in public or whatever, and also to give their crime report while they're there. The arresting officer writes a report that explains his observations and reason for the arrest, just like normal, also takes a crime report, and the two matters are handled separately. The reports are turned over to the DA who sorts it out. What that accomplishes is that the person suspected of drunk in public doesn't get a walk nor does s/he get to palm his condition off with a false crime report because they're being arrested anyway. If the DA believes a crime against the person really did occur, he or she may drop the drunk in public charge because it's so minor. But if the crime report seems fishy or doesn't pan out on further investigation, they really sock it to the drunk in public suspect (as much as they can for such a minor offense), all of which serves to discourage exactly what happened in the Duke lax case.
Splicing these stories together ...
http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/448847.html
Her driver, Jarriel Johnson of Raleigh, gave police a handwritten sworn statement on April 6 that detailed his time with her.
Two days before the party, Johnson said he drove the woman to an hourlong appointment at the Holiday Inn Express in Wakefield. At 11 p.m., Johnson said, he drove her to Platinum, a strip club in Hillsborough. The woman twice asked him to stay another hour, he wrote. At 4:30 a.m., Johnson said, he drove her to an hourlong job at the Millennium Hotel near Duke University.
The next night, Johnson said, he drove her to Raleigh "to find this guy she met." They checked into a hotel near Lane Street, bought Chinese food and waited for the man to call. Johnson said he left at midnight. When he came back the next morning, Johnson said, he waited in his car while the accuser performed for an older man in the hotel room.
Later that day, Johnson said, he was taking the accuser to her parents' house in Durham when she asked him to stop so she could go to the bathroom. "She got out of the car and started walking down Creedmoor Rd.," Johnson wrote. "I pulled my car over and got out to chase her down. She told me to leave her alone."
Johnson said he asked several times before she climbed back in the car. The two reached Johnson's home about 4:30 p.m.
Johnson said he wasn't able to drive that evening; the accuser told Johnson that another friend, Brian Taylor of Durham, would drive her to a bachelor party in Durham, the lacrosse party.
http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/443932.html
DURHAM - The man who drove the accuser in the Duke University lacrosse case to the team party said she did not seem intoxicated when he dropped her off that night.
Brian Taylor, who met the accuser at a Super Bowl party two years ago, said he spent an hour and a half with her before driving her to the party where she was hired to dance.
"She had called me a few hours earlier, asking me if she could use my place to get ready," Taylor said Friday.
Taylor said he did not know how the woman, a 27-year-old N.C. Central University student with two children, got to his home March 13. But he said that when she arrived about 9 p.m., he noticed nothing unusual about her demeanor. He did not say whether they consumed any alcohol.
Taylor had known for a while that his guest was a dancer. He and a male friend had watched her perform at clubs in Smithfield and Hillsborough.
As he sat in front of his PlayStation console March 13, the accuser showered behind a closed door and modeled at least two negligees for her host, he said.
"She asked my opinion," he said. "The first one was this black outfit, and I said, 'No.' When she came out in the red one I said, 'That's better.' "
It was 10:45 p.m., Taylor estimated, when they left for 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.
"The deal was for me to take her over there for about a two-hour show," he said. "She was supposed to call me to come pick her up."
Taylor did not hear from her again until 7 a.m. the next day. She was at Duke Hospital.
"She was distraught," he said. "I could tell that she was crying. She asked me to pick up her kids."
He said she didn't mention being attacked in that conversation or in a call more than a week later.
"She just told me her name would be in the news," Taylor said.
He said he did not check on the accuser's children or tell her parents where she was. "I told her I would, but I didn't," he said. "I don't know her that well."
Taylor said he has not seen the accuser since that night. Police came to his home weeks ago and asked him to make a statement.
He said that all he could tell investigators was about their visit and the drive to the house, which he had difficulty finding.
Taylor and his passenger were flagged down by a man outside 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. awaiting their arrival. "On our way there, she got two calls on her cell phone saying if you don't come soon, it's going to get canceled," Taylor said.
And he'll cave in on Nifong. Himan isn't a pro. He's young, I think, and hasn't been an investigator very long at all - I think I read that it's only since January that he's been an investigator. He'll save himself before he saves Nifong, and if he has half a brain, he's already talked to a lawyer and his union rep.. I wonder how many times he's changed his shorts today.
I don't know. That's not his statement.
He really forthcoming about all the sex, when and where. But, he doesn't say we had a fight or she was mad. I was thinking she didn't want to return home. We don't know about her home.
Is there conflict or alcoholism?
If he sticks to that statement, it's real damning.
I was taking that statement in conjunction with her 2005 voluntary commitment into a Mental health facility. In conjuction with her shutting down at the strip club in 2002 (diamond girls). Her previous false accusations and her reporting her husband's plans to take her into the woods and kill her.
Reading the statement verbatim, it's scary. I have to go to the bathroom, they pull over and she starts running down the road away from her house. Weird. Really Weird.
Or, Nifong's head below the water surface in a toilet bowl, breathing through a straw sticking up above the surface of the water, with his arm sticking up with his hand on the handle.
Sure. Look at LAPD. The feds did quite a number on them.
No, it's the name of the batteries. :>
Right, I know the second story is not Johnson's statement, but Taylor's. I spliced the stories together to show Taylor's accounting of the events that day after the AV's crazy behavior with Johnson. Is the crazy behavior/fight? the reason why Johnson didn't drive the AV to the party?
I knew the 2nd was Taylor's. I meant that Jarriel didn't include any reason for the fight in his otherwise forthcoming statement.
It's possible or she's crazy.
In a strict reading of his statement, the behavior comes without warning.
But, I haven't finished reading PIMPS are from Mars, Hos are from Venus
If Nifong wins on the issue of the subpoena for the addresses, each person whose address was subpoenaed should have a tape recorder at the ready to switch on if he's approached by anybody who brings up the case. All they have to say is, "You don't mind if I record this, do you?" if that guy lives in a two-party state. It works wonders. If he's in a one-party state, he can just go ahead and record it without the other party knowing. That works even better. :>
But turn on what? Nifong must know his case is a load of bull and that there was no rape. He has to know that by now. So what does he think he'll get anybody to turn on? To save their own ass from what?
