Phone use spans time of team party
In the middle of a Duke lacrosse party where a dancer said she was gang-raped for 30 minutes, a call was placed from her cell phone to a Durham escort service.
The 12:26 a.m. call to the service, Centerfold, lasted one minute, according to a copy of her cell phone bill reviewed by The News & Observer. It is unclear whether the call was a request for another job, a cry for help or something else, or even whether the accuser made the call herself.
But the accuser's phone records add some details to the chronology of the March 13 party, a drunken spring break bash that spawned a national controversy.
Neither prosecutors nor defense lawyers would discuss the phone records Tuesday. Neither the accuser nor a second dancer at the party could be reached, nor could representatives of Centerfold. Police Chief Steve Chalmers was out of town; his spokeswoman said he would not discuss the case.
Three players have been charged with first-degree rape, sexual offense and kidnapping: Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J.; Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, N.Y.; and Dave Evans, 23, of Bethesda, Md. Lawyers for the players have proclaimed their clients' innocence and said no rape or sex occurred at the house at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.
District Attorney Mike Nifong, whose handling of the case has undergone national scrutiny, has been adamant that the woman was raped at the party. Nifong has not given a precise timeline of when he thinks an assault occurred.

Yep!
Right, they said they were showing her pictures of people they thought were at the party. As someone said on CourtTV's message board, just weasle words to try to get around the rules of IDs.
I welcome folks from all parties! How boring would the discussion be if we all agreed on everything? I think that is what sets FR apart actually. I've only been registered a short time, but posters must remain respectful and all viewpoints are welcome.
Back to the topic at hand: I'm not sure this case has anything to do with what party one belongs to other than the railroading of these boys is coming from a politically motivated DA.
Okay, I am NOT one of the crazy freepers. LOL

I can not immagine with this case going on that editorial on innocence commission could be helping Duke limit the summer melt at all. This makes what might be a personal issue with an unelected DA over reaching for political purposes to win his first primary sound like a systemmatic problem.
Sadly, if Chalmers is clean and resigned because he valued his integrity, everybody and his brother (including me) will make an assumption of guilt.
(I guess that makes me a major hypocrite, but I do keep an open mind.)
I am wondering if his resignation has anything to do with the announcement that the ex-NCCU police chief resigned his post at KY.
NCCU has escaped scrutiny in this. Is someone starting to ask some questions about certain people associated with that school? Lots of interesting stories there.
C'mon, fess up--you're amongst friends ;-)
They are just jealous :-)
We are the smart ones.
I couldn't really follow the WTVD thread well. Was something missing? I do think it is hilarious that frepers are considered the crazy ones. That just shows who is smoking the dope!
I have thought for a while that his absence (as in our case) from this case was stunning. I keep having this nagging thought lately that he's out cleaning up loose ends if what is said about DPD's corruption/prostitution is true. His daughter may be a warning shot across his bow. By taking a hostage in the form of his daughter, his silence and cooperation is insured. I can't shake the thought. If this thought is like those I couldn't shake in the past, it might well be the case.
I am glad you are a dem. It illustrates what I know to be true. Life does not revolve around partisan politics regardless of what they think inside the beltway.
Everyday, workaday Americans unite against injustice.
Besides, my in-laws are dems (not that there's anything wrong with that, LOL)
Can someone, anyone tell me what the difference is between the Durham CourtHouse Crowd and the Mob?
The newly improved Durham County tax department Web site launched this week offers so much useful information that a county commissioner thinks there ought to be a charge for using it.
**crickets**
;-)
We all have our vices.
LOLOLOL!
