DA: Alleged Duke Rape Took 5-10 Minutes

All Nifong has is the weak "consistent with rape" SANE report and the AV's testimony, or lack there of.

He's toast.

John Bourlon thinks it is a bad idea that they are speaking to 60 minutes. That must mean during his lunch meeting with Nifong it was discussed and Nifong is scared sh_tless.

[Carolinamom]

I think he's counting on an OJ jury.

[F.J. Mitchell]

5-10minutes by three guys loaded to the gill on alcoholic beverage? It couldn't have happened that fast with one woman and one drunk man, under perfect circumstances, with the Lady involved being the love of his life and cooperating with all her might.

If the DA had ever once in his life been drunk and amorous at the same time, he would know he's talking pure BS.

[Carolinamom]

Bourlan said the boys refused to give DNA.....an absolute lie.

[pepperhead]

If the DA had ever once in his life been drunk and amorous at the same time, he would know he's talking pure BS.

If his father was alive he could ask him about his birth....

[pepperhead]

Bourlan lies about everything.

[Raebie]

Why hasn't this jackass been disbarred yet?

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! He probably still believes the stork brought him.

H&ll, maybe bird brains are delivered by storks.

I don't even think he has a SANE report that's consistent with rape. All it shows is diffuse edema and that could come from consensual sex. All the physical trauma it shows are a cut on the knee and another on the foot both of which were non-bleeding. All he has is the accuser's say so.

[Carolinamom]

Crier did not refute his false assertions about that or that the guys did not cooperate w/the police. Is she not informed? As a former judge, she should be interested in getting at the truth on her program instead of allowing lies to be perpetrated.

Keep in mind that Court TV will make a lot of money if this goes to trial. They have a large interest in this case getting to trial, and would hate to see it dismissed.

[maggief]

The quote, "consistent with rape," is from the SANE nurse and doctor.

Nifong said he remains confident in the woman’s story: that she was hired to dance at the March 13 party and was sexually assaulted in a bathroom. Police later found four of her fake fingernails in the house. A nurse and doctor found “signs, symptoms and injuries consistent with being raped and sexually assaulted vaginally and anally,” according to a police affidavit used to obtain a search warrant.

[maggief]

He got the OJ vote.

[Howlin]

That's what I'm thinking!

***BTW, don't order those Duke bracelets; I ordered three of them and they debited my account but I never got the bracelets!!!

It apparently is a scam.

[lead_and_gold]

Yes. Plus how would Court TV get their intersting scoops if they angered the DA. (In the Scott Peterson case some one in the prosecution/police side violated the gag order to help Crier write her book.)

[Carolinamom]

Is there any way the defense can subpoena the appointment book of Crystal's escort service to get the name(s) and time of her "appointment" just before she arrived at the Lacross team house?

[SarahUSC]

Is that what the doctors and nurses really said in the report or is that how the affiant characterized the report?

Where is any medical evidence that the accuser had any anal trauma at all? According to the defense the exam showed no injury to the anus. Just diffuse edema of the vaginal walls.

Personally, I think the way the medical report was characterized in the affidavit for the search warrant may come back on someone in a big way. I think the medical evidence was mischaracterized by the prosecution in the affidavit.

When I see LAX, I think, "Los Angeles International Airport." Airline industry free-association.

[SarahUSC]

I think of the airport too cause I live in LA.
