Everyone keeps downlplaying the fact that Denita Smith was a reporter for the NCCU newspaper. She had access to notes from the interviews of the friends and neighbors of the Duke rape accuser. Someone did not want notes or pictures to get into the hands of the Duke LAX defense hands. I feel strongly that this was far too much of a coincidence.
Then why not kill Bennett instead? She's the one who did the interviews and got the statments first-hand.
We don't know if Denita had access to any of Bennett's notes or not, or if Bennett still even has her notes.
