Darby, you're falling for Liefong's BS. There is nothing inconsistent in Kim saying that she left Mangum in the house for less than 5 minutes - and that was the only time she left her alone - and later saying that she also left her locked in the car while she went back into the house. It's obvious to me from Kim's first interview when she said the rape allegation was a crock, that she was being asked about her and Mangum's whereabouts and movements IN THE HOUSE WHERE THE RAPE ALLEGEDLY OCCURRED. Further, Liefong is technically wrong anyway because he asks Kim, "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?" Then he asks, "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." So, he's talking about her coming and going from two different places, one where the boys were and one where they weren't, in the house and out of the house, apples and oranges. It's a cheap, tacky, transparent little trick, that's all, and anybody with any common sense understands what she meant. In the first statement, she's addressing whether Mangum could have been raped or not - if there was time enough if and when she was alone in the house. In the second statement, she's talking about their respective movements generally. The fact that Liefong didn't follow up with, "Well, which statement date were you lying to Mr. Hinman?" tells me all I need to know about what he was up to. He was trying to present an opportunity for Kim to make up an entire new story that would be helpful to him, otherwise he would have asked which of those dates her statement was true and which it wasn't and she was being cooperative with him on it, since the statements aren't mutually exclusive of each other as I have explained to you several times now. Of course, now I'm worried that she did change her story to suit Liefong so he'd cut her a deal and we just don't know about it yet.

I'm not really falling for anything from Nifong... All I'm saying is that it has been proved that Kim has lied over and over again. She has lied to the police, to the security guard, to the 911 operator... In several media interviews, granted not to the police, she has changed her version almost as much as the AV.

So for anyone to get fired up about anything that Kim says, is in my opinion risky.

Who's to say if the police really interrogated her instead of coaching her to fit their version of the crime what she might have told them. It's obvious to me that the cops had some input into her March 22nd, written version of the events...

Kim is in it for Kim, she's changed her story so often, she probably can't even remember the true version...
