I have not been talking about Kim's statements comporting with Mangum's statements. I have been talking about Kim's statements comporting with Kim's statements.

According to the statements you've quoted, I still don't see a problem, since Mangum claims she was raped in the bathroom, not the car. Kim's statements address leaving Mangum alone in the bathroom for less than 5 minutes. She later says she also left Mangum alone in the car, locked in, while she went back to retrieve her bag. When the question before you is was there enough time that she was left alone for what she says happened to actually have happened, leaving her locked in the car doesn't enter into it since Mangum claims the rape took place in the house, not the car.

Nifong: Ms. Pittman in your telephonic interview with Ofc. Hinmna on March 20th statement you said the only time you were separated from the victim from the time you arrived, until the time you left was when you left the bathroom to go to your car and the victim stayed behind. Is that correct Ms. Pittman?

Kim: yessir..

Nifong: Ms. Pittman in your March 22nd written statement you claimed you left the victim locked in the car and went back in the house alone to look for her things. Is that correct Ms. Pittman.

Kim: yessir...

Nifong: Ms. Pittman, were you lying to Mr. Hinman on March 20th or were you lying in your written statement on March 22nd?

Kim: yessir...

Nifong: Ms. Pittman, can you give the court other examples of where you have lied in your statements to police about the events of evening of March 13th and early morning on March 14th.

Kim: yessir...

Nifong: No more questions, your witness... Mr. Osborn.

There could even be another period of seperation if you believe Bissey and the boys about the AV going to the car and returning either for her purse or shoe.. whomever you choose to believe.
