The NandO finally does some reporting...

Pinging the DukeLax list...

Adds mystery?

There's no mystery here. This is a lynch mob led by Nifong

"The NandO finally does some reporting..."

Yeah, but Melanie made them put it in the sports section.

[Alia]

There it is! I knew I had read this early on in the case! She had made calls, I recall. Not just one call.

In the middle of a Duke lacrosse

[elli1]

...a call was placed from her cell phone to a Durham escort service. The 12:26 a.m. call to the service, Centerfold...

...the lacrosse team hired the two dancers from Allure Escort Services and Bunny Hole Entertainment.

The accuser, a 27-year-old mother of two and student at N.C. Central University, was hired to perform for two hours for $400, as was a second dancer, Kim Roberts.

Follow. The. Money.

Many legal experts seem to think that the immunity which prosecutors generally have from lawsuits arising from their actions is not absolute.

Experts also note that there is no case in which a conviction has been won over DNA evidence which exonerates the defendant, and that Nifong is basically living in a dream world.

Transcript of call:

"I think I finally got some really rich ones here. My ship may have come in. I'll call you back."

[eastsider]

So, she was raped having phone sex. I see nothing inconsistent ...

[JLS]

Of course as Nifong SAID IN OPEN COURT, he could not imagine what evidentuary value Magum's cell phone could have.

Thanks for the ping, abb

Is this a service not named before?

More and more it sounds like the "victim's" claims are as phony as my clinton $3 bill. She's after the rich kids' money.

College Goes to Court

At one panel I attended, San Francisco lawyer Zachary Hutton explained Williams v. Board of Regents, a recent case in which a University of Georgia student alleged having been raped by two student-athletes while a third student watched. The police charged the athletes with rape, and the university decided not to conduct its own investigation until the criminal case was resolved.

That turned out to be a mistake. The plaintiff then sued the university for sexual harassment, and the 11th Circuit held this year that the university could be liable because, by waiting to conduct an independent investigation until the criminal case was resolved, it had exhibited deliberate indifference to the alleged rape. "The court emphasized," Mr. Hutton told the college lawyers, "that the pending criminal trial . . . did not affect the university's ability to institute its own proceedings, and the criminal charges would not have prevented future attacks while the charges were pending."

So in a reverse sense, could Duke be liable for failing to investigate and determining that the lax players are NOT a threat to the university and for denying them a return to school?
