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."

The lacrosse players aren't the only victims here. Real rape victims suffer because of those who file false charges too.

I'm thinking that Nifong is going to spend the rest of his life in depositions and lawsuits.

Absolutely.

And luckily, all the "usual suspects" lined up like ducks in this case, proving that some people don't bother with FACTS when race is involved.

It seems to be unraveling by the hour now, so you may be right.

But realize that Nifong knew THIS too on the day he dropped the rape charge.

It may not be a frame, but it certainly is an "evolving" story to suit any defense that may come forward.

And here I was thinking that this case was going to end. I guess I'm going to have to blow another day of vacation and go to the Feb. 5 hearing.

"We have yet to hear Collin Finnerty's alibi. :)"

Said Finnerty: "Hey - I'm innocent. I wasn't there at the time of the incident. I was in D.C. beating up a gay male and I can prove it!"

I saw Mark Geragos (spit) talking about this case last night on Greta's show.

He said he has tried cases in NC and that the prosecutor has virtually ALL the power in the courts here and that there isn't much the judge can do to stop him.

He said it would be over when Nifong said it was. Period.

I just blasted off yet another email to Easley. When is enough going to be enough.
