When being interviewed for jury duty here in NC, I distinctly being showed a list of potential witnesses in the upcoming murder trial and asked whether I knew anyone on the list.

[Locomotive Breath]

The other person listed from DUMC was a male and apparently an M.D., IIRC. I think the recently referenced "male nurse" in this case was someone at Durham Access which is where Crystal was taken before DUMC. But that male nurse at Access was not the SANE nurse for the obvious reason that Access is a mental health facility.

[Carolinamom]

Probably so...I just remember her saying it to some male just as she was being admitted.

Oh please. Oscar Mayer couldn't mass produce that much baloney.

LMAO! I think that qualifies as "post of the day"! I'm sorry, but that is just too funny :)

[Locomotive Breath]

I'm sure that in the days before the Internet they got letters like this all the time, but they could pick and choose what they put in their letters to the editors in the print edition so all real criticism was filtered out while they did a kabuki theater of pretending to respond to readers. I continue to remind Ms. Sill every time I post that she no longer controls the dialog and that they'd better figure out how to adapt.

"Is anyone surprised that the defense attorneys are spinning this case in such a way that things do not look good for the prosecution?"

That's what they're paid to do you flippin' idiot...

There are two different medical records, and maybe a third if Durham Access has some: 1) Mar. 14 at DMC in which the doctor found no physical injuries beyond 2 non-bleeding booboos on her knee and heel AND 2) Mar. 15 UNC MC report in which a doctor, according to Abrams, reported the accuser saying she HIT HER HEAD ON A SINK causing CERTAIN INJURIES:

I think the "sink" was the fists of a male acquaintance who beat her sometime between the two hospital visits. Comparing the two doctor's findings should be very interesting.

I think we do know who the SANE nurse it.

Julie something.... if I recall... let me look...

One of my favortite Dinosaur Media quotes came from a former Managing Editor of the defunct Shreveport (Louisiana) Journal, Carl, Liberto. He often said, "news is what your Editor says it is unless the Publisher says it isn't."

Some of them, apparently, must think that's the way it still is...

[pepperhead]

The internet has changed everything. We can now see how dishonest and lazy the MSM really is.

[Locomotive Breath]

I agree. We haven't really learned quite as much about the visit to UNC and the reasons behind it.

Do you remember me posting about a trip I took to Durham for my son to try out for a traveling lax team and the discussion among the parents in the stands? This was before the UNC connection came out. One of the parents was associated with someone from UNC hospitals and remarked that information would be forthcoming from that quarter. I was biting my tongue to not ask what he knew and now I wish I hadn't held back.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Very insightful article. Thanks for posting this.

I'm glad to see that Professor Van deVelde has been able to move on with his life, despite the treatment he received. Unfortunately it appears that the murderer is still at large.

[JamesP81]

I'm sure there are elements in Durham that will take great pleasure in the pain caused this family.

There are probably quite a few on FR that will too. DAs can do no wrong, and defense lawyers are evil ya know....

The problem is that we got Dish Network on a special promotion when we moved. TV Food Network/other stations are 3 hours ahead of us. Programs I watched at say, 3pm, are on at noon. I'm going to start checking out Fox News Channel(unless you can recommend a better source) around 12pm. I can't even remember how to figure out the stupid menu on this thing :(

[I want to know]

From the Herald-Sun, May 18, 2006 (the link has expired).

"Nifong listed nine expert witnesses he expects to testify for the prosecution: L.D. Milks, Timothy G. Suggs, Hope Copeland, Jennifer Leyn and Rachel Winn of the State Bureau of Investigation; Brian W. Meehan and R.W. Scales of DNA Securities in Burlington; and Tara Levicy and J. Manly of Duke University Hospital."

Is J. Manly the M.D.?

[Carolinamom]

You might get it on Foxnews.com....when you click on Video at the top of the screen.

[JLS]

3:00 pm? I'm on pacific time, so maybe that would be noon my time? I'd like to check it out.

The poster on the CourtTV board had VT in his signon. I am assuming that means Vermont and he is in eastern time. I am in central. Still I am not sure anyone knows for sure yet.

I am absolutely dying to see the motion filed by the NandO attorney. If anyone sees it, ping me...

[RecallMoran]

He also made it clear in every public statement that the charged students are innocent until proven otherwise.

^%&%$*&$*&^%*&^##%$%##@$#@%$&^$*&^%*%^7**&^%^&$%#$&@@%^^#$$ and the horse you rode in on. If they were innocent why was the lacrosse coach fired, why were the new black panthers on campus, and why have you whined about "campus culture" at every opportunity? You make me sick, you hypocritical *&^%*&^%.

OK - the name was the link I needed. I was mistaken. Both medical people listed at DUMC were women. Tara Levicy was the SANE nurse. Dr. Julie Manly was the M.D. But according to this there were several others.

After her arrival at Duke Hospital in the early morning hours of March 14, 2006, the accuser spoke with a police officer and recanted her allegation of a sexual assault inside 610 North Buchanan Blvd. and instead said she was only pulled from the other woman's car outside the home and "groped." Shortly after that, she apparently told hospital personnel that she had been raped, and she then refused to speak with law enforcement further that night. However, she did speak and interact extensively with the hospital personnel (at least two doctors and four nurses), as well as Tara Levicy, an in-training Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner/Forensic Nurse Examiner (S.A.N.E. nurse), and Dr. Julie Manly, who performed an extensive sexual assault physical examination.,/i>
