Accuser changes story in lacrosse case
News and Observer ^

Posted on 01/11/2007 7:25:16 AM PST by SmoothTalker

"The woman adjusted the timing of the assault to earlier in the evening, a time point preceding the well-documented alibi of one accused player, Reade Seligmann. The defense, however, introduced yet more alibi evidence for Seligmann: he was on the cell phone with his girlfriend during the height of the attack as the accuser now times it."

"* In her latest statement she said the attack ended at midnight.

In previous accounts, the woman said the gang-rape ended shortly before she left in the car driven by Kim Roberts, the second dancer. Roberts called 911 as she was driving away at 12:53 a.m., according to police records. This new account leaves 50 minutes unaccounted between the end of the rape and the departure from the party.

The new statement runs contrary to time stamped photos of the party, which show the two women dancing between 12:00 and 12:04 a.m. in the living room of the house at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.

* In the latest statement, the woman says she arrived at the party at 11:20 p.m. on March 13 and that the rape began at 11:40 p.m. Her cell phone records show that she was on phone with her father and others up to one minute before the rape allegedly started."

"* The accuser has changed her description of Evans. On April 4, she viewed a photograph of Evans and said it looked like one of her assailants, except that the assailant had a moustache. In the Dec. 21 statement, the woman said the assailant had a five o'clock shadow, not a moustache. Evans has a visible five o'clock shadow in the photograph."

Haven't we already heard some stuff like that already?

I would say with absolute certainty that there had been some form of "DNA sharing party" prior to her visit to the LAX party house.

Right, and she did have that "nervous breakdown" last year.

The reason this may not be a smoke screen, as someone else mentioned upthread, is in court when RS's alibi was mentioned Nifong made a smirking response about the defense not know "his" timeline. I think this has been planned since RS alibi information was made public.

I think Nifong's got a legal duty to reveal "his" timeline, doesn't he?

I don't know if the pension of a DA, a state employee, is determined the same way that retired teachers' pensions are, but it it is, the Nifong's desire to have a higher paying job via election for his last years before retirement is understandable.....the last 4 years of pay (presumably the teacher's/DA's highest pay) determines the amount of the pension.

Didn't she have one after the first false accusation she made, too?

Long ago, the defense put in a motion asking for a "bill of particulars" which would have required Nifong to do just that. Nifong made some nasty remark about the three needing to account for themselves for about two hours one night and it was too bad if they couldn't do that. The motion was denied but the judge left open the option to refile it.

I'd like to know who is supporting her now that she can no longer "work".

She's not under oath. There is no perjury.

She perjured herself when she filed a false police report. THAT is against the law.

Maybe we should print up a flier with their pictures on it, huh?

Bumperstickers. You could sell 'em and get in on the action like everyone else.

Could be, but I don't specifically recall. It's more and more difficult to discern fact from fiction. ;)

I would guess the taxpayers of NC are supporting her. But that's probably nothing new.

I'd like to see her Federal return for the last few years. I bet she's never filed.

The question now will be why he didn't drop ALL the charges in December.

Maybe he feels that would open him up to a lawsuit for malicious prosecution--and that the risk of such a suit will be lower if he takes it all the way to trial, even if the kids are acquitted.

Just a wild guess. I'm not a lawyer.

If the consequences to those boys weren't so bad, this whole thing would be hilarious!

It does seem like there should be certain requirement, doesn't it?

I keep thinking she's decided to go back and write a prequel, not quite understanding that you can do that in books and movies, but it doesn't work so well in a courtroom.

She's not an English or Creative Writing major, is she???

"I'd like to see her Federal return for the last few years. I bet she's never filed."

Kim Roberts was bragging how she made all this money "tax free". I would like to see her tax returns as well!
