CG, I first want to say that I appreciate your presence on this board. I find your posts very insightful and compelling considering what you have experienced.

The statement by the commentators regarding what went on that night shows that they don't know much. First there is the FA that has told so many different stories that it is virtually impossible to keep up with and her witness that has also told multiple stories and lies. Contrast that to a large group of players, possibly as many as 40, that have all told the same story that matches the things that the three players from the house that went to the PD said in uncounseled statements.

I believe that it would be virtually impossible to get that many people telling lies to tell it exactly the same way. Someone would goof up and tell it wrong. My parents taught me and I taught my children that if you tell the truth you don't have to remember what you said.

I think the DA's case will fail under the pressure of all the players telling the same thing as opposed the FA and Nikki/Kim trying to remember what they said.

Thanks. I appreciate your kind words -- I'm really, truly not trying to lecture or tell "our" story. If the contrasting of the two situations Duke's/ours can help people see more clearly that this isn't just a fluke, then I will have accomplished all I set out to do. To have a foundation established to save others from what we have gone through is like Heaven to me. I wish we'd had it. The three of us in our little boat were bailing like crazy and singing songs through the dark of night to keep from giving up.

After sharing with me, you have all helped me heal. I've shed the first tears I can remember since childhood thanks to those of you on this thread. My upper lip was so stiff, I couldn't laugh anymore and you all have given that back to me. Let's not let the good work started here go away when this is over -- and it will be. I have to go now or I won't be able to see my computer to finish my work today. Closing files at the office - Ugh - I need all the eyesight I can muster. If any one of the staff here ever manages to get the papers in the folders, I'll faint.
