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."

I wonder if the hotel rooms are filling up in Durm right now?

At last on Feb. 5 the public will see the accuser...perpetrator...of this hoax, and I want to see her face plastered on the front page of every newspaper and magazine in the nation just as Reid, Colin, and Dave have had to experience...the word "LIAR" prominently displayed.

when RS's alibi was mentioned Nifong made a smirking response about the defense not know "his" timeline.
 
 
Interesting.
 
 
From Webster's Legal Dictionary:
 
trial by ambush, informal  a disparaging term for trial procedures or strategies that involve withholding relevant information from the other side and then presenting it under circumstances in which the other side does not have a reasonable opportunity to investigate and rebut it. Modern procedural rules, especially those providing for DISCOVERY, seek to minimize opportunities for trial by ambush. Also called trial by surprise.
 
 
 
Fitting, especially in regards to the withholding exculpatory DNA evidence debacle.

Not to beat a dead horse, but John Edwards honored Ellen Sirleaf at some dinner in NYC.

That would be Miss Ellen, President of Liberia.

Many will not show her. She will also be cleaned unlike when one is arrested. Still she will be revealed for what she is, but the greater villan her is Nifong. I want to see a perp walk for him.

Any statement made under penalty of perjury can subject a person to prosecution. Victim-witness statements made to police are usually made under penalty of perjury. The reason for this is because those statements are used as the basis to bring criminal charges against a person through the arrest and charging process, which deprives the person of his liberty. It is a serious matter.

That being said, as bad as NC criminal procedures are, it's possible that no oath is required in signing victim-witness statements, although that is difficult for me to believe, even for NC.

A "WANTED" poster of Mangum, with her name and address on it, demanding her to come forward and tell the truth should be printed up and distributed throughout the city and the internet.

I believe they were using their cell phones and they are connected to GPS and "Perfect Time". The system you are speaking of is archaic.

Got a reference on that. I thought those pictures came from a camera that'd been identified in the search warrant.

Let's put it this way...If it wasn't the correct time, they wouldn't be using it as evidence. The defense isn't stupid.

I like the prior advice he was given. Dump the case now, and throw himself upon the mercy of the Bar.
