The article also mentions police speculation that the lacrosse players might have slipped the accuser a date-rape drug to incapacitate her. And Joseph Cheshire, Evans' lawyer, noted in a recent e-mail exchange with me that the prosecution "has suggested to the media numerous times in the past that the accuser had been given such a drug." Another deception? "A toxicology report that the defense was informed of last week was negative for any date rape drug in the accuser's system," Chesire tells me.
Nifong said there was no tox report. Now a tox report turns up. What a liar.
I wonder where the tox report came from. Duke Medical Center? Durham Access? I can't think of any other place. So where has it been all this time? Hiding in a drawer of Nifong's desk?
Taylor really hits on all the points. If Gottlieb had such a dead bang accurate description of Finnerty why didn't he put him in the two line-ups before the final rigged line-up? Finnerty is the only guy on the team that fits the description of tall, lean and baby-faced.
And if there was "blunt force trauma" why did the SANE nurse only list two non-bleeding cuts under physical trauma?
I think Gottlieb has buried himself with these notes. He didn't think it through. He is in for one hell of a cross-examination.
".....has suggested to the media numerous times in the past that the accuser had been given such a drug." Another deception? "A toxicology report that the defense was informed of last week was negative for any date rape drug in the accuser's system," Chesire tells me."
Man, if those three lacrosse players have any attorney with stones, something tells me they have a civil rights settlement pot at the end of the rainbow that should pay for their Duke education........
