I don't know. If it was a set-up, Kim and the accuser didn't do a very good job. None of the versions of their stories match up at all. Kim initially said the rape claim was a crock. She also made some comments that really hurt the accuser's case in her initial statement. She said they were apart for less than five minutes and when they finally were in the car she said the accuser wanted to go back into the house because she thought she could make more money.
Kim changed her story but only after Nifong gave her favorable treatment on a bail issue. And even her final version of the story doesn't match up with what the accuser says.
As for the accuser she said at various points that Kim had assisted in the rape, stolen her money and all her stuff and pushed her out of the car and onto the street.
I don't think it was a set-up. Kim had a drunk woman on her hands and wanted her out of her car. She probably drove around for awhile and made an attempt to find out where the accuser lived. Eventually she got fed up and had a security guard call the police and washed her hands of it. The accuser came to at some point and realized she was in danger of being involuntarily committed. She told a lie to get out of that situation. Since she was wasted and making up a story on the fly her narrative is all over the page.
If this was a set-up Kim wouldn't have called the rape allegations a crock. She wouldn't have dumped the accuser in a Kroger parking lot either. Kim isn't stupid. She would have gotten with the program alot quicker if this was a scam.
I am having trouble reconciling a 30 minute drive with a stranger in the car. Where did Kim go, who did she talk to?
And why would a prostitute who has not paid back one dime of her obligation be so willing to dump precious in the lap of the cops?
Reading the 911 transcripts, she seemed too eager to tell "what happened."
And it might not have been a setup from the beginning. But at some point someone who wanted Duke taken down decided this was the time to do it.
