Is this the first time Cash referred to her as "Jakki"--with the quotes?

I don't know, but I thought Cash's sharpest jabs were directed at the DPD rape investigators, Gottlieb in particular.

I'm also thinking about his comments on moderate blacks, and how they fit in. I wouldn't completely discount the possibility that big money was offered to Crystal by sources within the black community.

It sounds that way, "moderate blacks" were shopping for a third party to broker a deal hitting up Duke's alums perhaps. Look who would stand to benefit monetarily; the AV, NCCU, and the person or the organization that possibly got involved. Follow the $.

Here's a thought, the story was "hurting Durham" therefore the report says a payoff was suggested to make it go away. Who else would benefit? NCCU and the group that put together the deal. Any names ring a bell who'd be interested in Durham's image and NCCU?

I am glad you mentioned that about the blacks. I read the article several times and each time was confused about the role of the blacks.

Each time I came away with the feeling that members of the black community offered av money.
