Duke Lacrosse Alleged Rape Case Timeline

NBC Durham ^ | 7/12/06

"I'm not sure how much investigative reporting the N&O is up for when it comes to this case. There seems to be a total lack of curiousity and they tend to get their stories off the AP wire. Pretty strange since this whole thing is going on in their backyard."

McClatchy tends to be very shy about spending money to report news. Their prime concern is maintaining advertising revenue and subscriber numbers.

This is almost believable, except that we all know that Clement's brother-in-law is the architect for the owner of some of the "adult entertainment" clubs, and that Clement himself has voted on issues related to them, in spite of his obvious conflict of interest.

Does he feel heat in the kitchen? Is he concerned that there may be a connection of money laundering to his own business?

12:30pm – 1pm Special Report: Duke Rape Scandal

2pm – 4pm DUKE hearing LIVE…actual hearing expected to begin at 2:30pm…

_________________________________________

My comment-- During the last hearing, Nifong had frequent, exaggerated blinking-- which disappeared when he was talking. He did not have this "tic" in any footage I saw from his early public appearances or interviews. Keep an eye out for it.

Did anyone watch the CTV special this morning? Anything new?

I've got CTV on now.

Titus is the judge. He may but is not expected to set a trial date. The big thing today is the issue of school information supoenaed by Nifong. Two panelists -- a Natasha (defense attorney) who says that the unindicted players may be witnesses and a Mike Paul who is black but seems sympathic to the players "they just want to go to college."

Reporter Jean Casarz: It'll come down to the timeline and a test of credibility.

[Neverforget01]

Were they not going to adress the line up admissability today?

[Mad-Margaret]

Yes. That seems to be the only big issue that'll be resolved in today's hearing.

When are the media going to start using the word "hoax"?

Now CTV is discussing Collin's assault conviction....

Duke admin distancing itself from the rape case? This lady is clueless.

[Mad-Margaret]

It makes my see red when I hear these THs question whether Collin's misdemeanor assault or Dave's noise violation might hurt their credibility yet say nothing about the serious criminal records of Crystal and Kim.


Jami Floyd is calling the kids "punks" (with their two convictions) ... with "advantages the accuser never had." Oh gag me!

[GAgal]

Regarding "advantages", it will never happen, but I wish we knew the earned income tax credit/or non-reporting of paxable income, Section 8, Pell grant, WIC, etc. that the accuser has enjoyed over the years.

The latest from LaShawn Barber: http://lashawnbarber.com/

[Mad-Margaret]

I love LaShawn Barber! In her latest blog entry, she compares the Duke hoax to the Fresno rape.

I was just reading some of the comments on WRAL's discussion boards...ChristianM is one of those that would most likely find the guys guilty after snoozing through the trial. Some of his gems:

"Isn?t it amazing that we have three stories? Well frankly, I have read in affidavits only two lines and unfortunately there is rape evidence and apparently it is not a boyfriend of the victim."

"This young mother deserves her day in court, she did not hire herself or volunteer to dance at this party, the accused invited her and treated her like they would in their social strata just 141 years ago, AS A SLAVE."

"Six generations ago she would have been raped and hung for speaking out again white boys and many here today still live in the past"

[LWalk18]

Has the hearing started yet? Anyone near a TV?

[old and cranky]

WRAL says it will be starting shortly...I have heard 2:30 eastern time.

[abb]

Rufus (former NC AG) says there's no more evidence from Nifong unless he uncovers something else...

[Mad-Margaret]

Yep. It's just a "he said, she said" case. Pay no attention to that lack of DNA evidence.

[abb]

Titus coming in...

[abb]

more discovery requests...

Nifong playing ignorant...

Nifong blinking...
