DURHAM, N.C. -- A cab driver who has supported an alibi offered by one of the three Duke lacrosse players charged with rape had his own court appearance Tuesday for a larceny charge.
Moezeldin Elmostafa, 37, appeared briefly before a Durham County District Court judge who set a trial date of Aug. 29. Prosecutors also changed the charge against Elmostafa to aiding and abetting misdemeanor larcency.
Elmostafa was arrested in May after he surfaced as a potential alibi witness for Reade Seligmann, one of three players charged with raping a woman at an off-campus party the night of March 13.
The 2003 warrant accused Elmostafa of stealing five purses worth about $250 from a Durham department store. Elmostafa denies the charge, and has said he helped store security locate a woman after he picked her up from the store and drove her home. The woman later pleaded guilty to larceny.
Durham prosecutors said in May the warrant for Elmostafa's arrest was discovered in a routine background check of witnesses in the Duke lacrosse case.
Mostafa has said Seligmann, of Essex Fells, N.J., called for a ride at 12:14 a.m. on March 14, and was picked up five minutes later. The defense has argued those times help establish that Seligmann left the party without having enough time to participate in the 30-minute assault described by the accuser. Seligmann's attorney has also presented cell phone, ATM and dorm keycard records to help establish that timeline.

Are you trying to say Lisa Hawkins looks older and crankier than old and cranky?
ROTFLMAO!!!!
I guess I don't do well wide awake, either!
A lot worse than a brain fart!
Makes me want to change my name to "Maybe not so old and cranky"
As I have said all along, blacks, their racist organizations and their leadership have behaved abominably throughout this, and I will reiterate my objection to Cash Michaels' assertion last week that blacks will be owed an explanation as to why there will be no trial. Their behavior throughout, as well as establishing themselves as a bloc vote based on racist goals, has contributed mightily to this debacle.
ROFLOL! :>
It's unlikely that it's his daughter or any relative at all.
Why is it unlikely? The search shows James as a relative.
Where's the photo of her?
Can you point me to the photo of Lisa Hawkins?

Re: Warrants
I don't know. Somehow I doubt the State is penalized though.
Good question
Demographics.
Also, maggief posted this earlier today in #180 after doing a search on Lisa F. Hawkins in Durham, NC:

Demographics? Please explain for me...
I am sure we will all be happy when you get into the same time zone as us! LOL!
Thanks, Tommy.
That Veromi site just gives possible relatives.
The reason I say demographics is because this woman and a mayor will be from two different demographics. In this case, middle or upper middle-class vs. white trash. Is it possible she's the daughter of a former mayor? Yes, but highly unlikely.
LOL! We are talking Durham here, so this theory may not necessarily hold true! ;-)
From what we have all been seeing, it appears that Durham has white trash and black trash, nothing else. Basic trash.
