One suspect, Reade Seligmann, has what appears to be a powerful alibi, based on a cellphone log and other records that show he left the party early.
"What appears to be a powerful alibi"? Yeah, I would say the cell-phone log, a taxi cab log, and security cam footage in multiple locations of a prime suspect during the time that he's supposedly doing this awful stuff "appears" to be pretty powerful. Try airtight.
Finally, no one, not even the second dancer at the party, has corroborated the rape charge
No reason for the NYT to devote more than half a sentence to that tiny little detail. No agenda here. /sarc
"Sergeant Gottlieb writes that the accuser appeared to be in extreme pain when he interviewed her two and a half days after the incident, and that signs of bruises emerged then as well.'
Didn't the players take pics of her falling down the porch stairs?
(Ms. Roberts has given contradictory accounts. On March 22, she told the police that the rape accusation was “a crock,” and that she had been with the accuser for all but five minutes of the party. Later, though, she revised her story to the police and told National Public Radio that a rape “could have happened,” but that she had not seen or heard it. Defense lawyers argued that she changed her story to suit an opportunity: on April 17, Mr. Nifong personally changed Ms. Roberts’s bail status on her probation violation, reducing her bond payment by $1,875.)
