I agree that getting fired up about what she has to say isn't a good idea in terms of the trial, but in terms of the 60M show, if her account supports the boys, that's a very good thing. If the stories she told about how and where she met up with Mangum that night are explained by her wanting to avoid arrest on her probation violation warrant, it eases the impact of those lies, especially since they aren't germaine to what happened inside the house. People dislike but they understand those kinds of lies. Seldom do witnesses come in packages marked, "Pure as the driven snow."

Again, though, I ask you where and how has she changed her story to the police as to whether or not Mangum was raped or could have been raped, to her knowledge and observations? That testimony you recited is frightening because it indicates to me that she was cooperating with Liefong at that point. Nobody agrees to call themselves a liar unless there's something in it for them. I suspect since then she has gotten counsel and has returned to her original statement. She may even explain her interim opinions given to the media that are slanted toward Liefong with some information about promises and intimidation from and by Liefong. Elmostafa's testimony may buttress that as well.

I made that up... As far as I know Kim and Nifong have never talked...

Also as far as I know the only statement Kim gave to the cops about the "rape / sexual assault" was on the 20th

SHE STATED THAT SHE HEARD THAT MS. MANGUM WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED, WHICH SHE STATED IS A “CROCK” AND SHE STATED THAT SHE WAS WITH HER THE WHOLE TIME UNTIL SHE LEFT

The only things she says in her written statement in my opinion are lists of events that the cops wanted entered. She even left one out that reflected negatively on the boys version and had to go back and add it almost 2 hours after she finished her original statment.

the AV arrives a 11:30 (fits cops theory, but wrong)

they were given drinks (fits date rape drug, but later she says she doesn't know if the AV drank more than a sip)

the broom comment (broom rape was a cop theory early, but wrong)

here's a part I think she changed

I left the alone bathroom with my dancing gear on. I changed my clothes in the car. Some of the boys came by wanting to talk to me. I was told by one of the guys Precious was passed out in the backyard. Within minutes she was helped out of the backyard and into my car.

That statement of events we know would have taken considerably longer than 5 minutes. She and the AV went to the BR at 12:05. The AV made a phone call at 12:26, is shown on the back porch alone at 12:30 and being put in the car at 12:41.

Kim's written statement leaves the impression that she didn't see the AV from the time she (Kim) left the bath room until the boys dragged her to the car at 12:41. That's a 20 - 30 minute gap where she didn't see the AV.

Finally Kim says she goes back to get the AV's stuff. And retraces her steps along the side of the house to the back porch. (fits the cops theory that the AV's stuff wasn't in the back yard or she would have seen it. no other reason to make the amendment 2 hours later)

So, in my opinion, Kim was just writing down what the cops wanted her to write down.
