"The trauma, the lack of trust that anyone's going to be there for you, fear of being alone — all of that could contribute to someone's reluctance to talk"

Or it could be the fact that you are a clumsey liar and nobody believes you anymore.

Porcupine, actually.

"Ho," actually

Have a good weekend.

This is hardly even news, it's so predictable.

Well, of course, she can't answer key questions! She was a liar from the beginning! Anger, frustration and the lure of priveliged money are about the only things she can testify to.

"Ho" sounds so harsh and defamatory......."porcupine" seems less judgmental, more descriptive; as in the adage: "If there were as may pricks sticking out of her as she's had stuck into her, she'd look like a porcupine".

Duke Lacrosse Accuser Not Answering Investigators' Key Questions

Colour me stunned

Although neither woman has been forthcoming up to this point, the sources stressed that this could change and that the accuser might still fully participate with investigators.
And I could get a phone call from Charlize Theron wanting to make wild monkey luv with me

What questions are they actually asking? If it is about what Nifong's guys did or didn't do - then I can see why she may be fishing for a "Get out of jail" card.

I agree with the comment on how slanted the write up is.

I wonder if Precious takes her attorney with her to meet the SP's?

>>has there been proof that she's a prostitute and not just a skanky slut?

Besides what others have said, how about applying Occam's Razor. This isn't a courtroom.

Tell her I said Hi; it was great; and can I please have my Jockey Briefs back? They are my only red pair.

Both claims are now retracted.

Crystal is cooperating, and Kim said no such thing.

"Kim" isn't the driver/bodyguard he's talking about.

And Mindbender26, your post was one of those "besides what others have said" items I was referring to. I had looked at "view replies", on SeafoodGumbo's post.

Wait a minute, Nifong never bothered to even interview the woman, so how is it news that she is not co-operating with the new investigators?

Maybe they're waiting for more 'scholarship' funds to come through.

You know, like the requests for donations between shows on PBS. They're just taking care of business during the changeover of prosecutors...

What's it worth to these prosecutors to risk jailtime for perjury? What guarantees are they willing to offer the girls and some of their closest friends and relatives?

"When people have been through a trauma — a car crash is a good analogy — it can take them time to reconstruct the facts in their minds. "

Memory does not get better with time - it gets more confident. Effectively, your brain fills in the missing details, and you come to believe them, even though they have no basis in truth at all.

This is well established, and has been proven hundreds of times.

The article is also slanted in that the report either does not understand or is hiding that Roberts [aka Pittman] is not cooperating because she is holding out for immunity. Whether she stole Mangum's money that night or not, she has to hold out for immunity because she does not know if the new prosecutors will indict her for grand theft or not.

And of course Mangum has NEVER cooperated in this case. She only picked four players in her 3rd or more photo line up. As someone on this board, Jezzebelle maybe, once said Mangum was going to ID three lacrosse players if Nifong had to cut her finger off and point it at them himself.

BTW, this Foxnew.com article on the Pressler and Yeager book on this hoax hints good news is coming for the good guys:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,258969,00.html

From the article: "Yaeger also said that there could be some information coming from the special prosecutors now investigating the case "very soon." That information "would be really wonderful news for all the people involved,""

I am not sure this is quite right. The special prosecutors may not be willing to characterize her noncooperation as such at least publically, but they, the SPs, didn't say "thats a crock" or anything yet that I have read? I suspect they did say that Mangum is not cooperating privately to someone and are unhappy this is in the press now.

I suspect Mangum is not cooperating and the SPs don't want to criticize her since they are planning to drop the charges. But I suspect Mangum is not answering the hard questions the SPs are putting to her that Nifong wanted to ignor to win his primary.
