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.

"As I get closer to her parents' home she calls me and says that Matt is coming over to bring her something. I told her that I would wait until she called me at the carwash on Fayetteville St. Around 5-5:30 p. she calls me and tells me that he's gone."
Knock me over with a feather. NG's talking...
OMG. NG used the term "alleged"
NG's still drinking the KoolAid...
She's been Nifongulated...
Comparing the defense attorneys to Geragos in the Peterson case.
Spare me.
She's off her med's again...
Stupid bitch...
Lawyer Grace said, "It's not even time for discovery." Even I know that that is a false statement.
I disagree. The facts would come out in the civil suit.
But even if they didn't, anytime an innocent defendant can get the charges dropped is a very good thing for that defendant. Any criminal trial is risky, and would place the defendant in jeopardy of serving a very lengthy prison sentence in this case. There is no advantage, even if it was a situation of the truth not coming out, in an innocent defendant going to trial that will potentially land him in prison with a years-long criminal battle ahead. A defendant has a much more powerful position to operate from without the evidentiary pitfalls of a pending criminal trial holding him back from presenting all the facts in a civil case.
Still, in this case, the evidence against the boys is virtually non-existent, and the evidence of a conspiracy to railroad these boys is becoming more substantial with each passing week such that I think the boys, or at least Reade, should press the advantage by taking the initiative to file suit against Mangum, Nifong and the county, and the DPD and possibly the city manager. Further, I think they, or at least Reade, should seek criminal penalties by taking the matter to the federal prosecutor for the civil rights violations I've enumerated several times and are now being discussed in the motion filed by Reade's defense this week.
The DA cannot drop the case for an agreement from the defense to not pursue the case civilly. Public servants cannot make that deal.
She's PO'd...bad...
NG's all by herself tonight...
OMG. Used the term "alleged" again...
Nancy Grace is a pompous ass.
Thank you for that link.
I will check into it after NG and a few Advil. :)
Can't believe Nifong would go with nothing. NG laying groundwork for FA to decide not to testify...
