bumping for further revelations.
The Condom issue... The woman didn't say they were wearing condoms. The media brought that up and said THEY SHOULD FILE CHARGES REGARDLESS OF THE DNA Tests.
Two players asked to take a Lie Detector test and the DA-Nifong said, No - I'm not interested since it's not admissable. Some players volunteered to give DNA samples, the DA said okay, we'll be in touch. The next thing they heard, the DA had gotten a court order forcing them to submit to DNA swabs. The 3 players that names are on the lease for the residence went the police station and gave detailed interviews voluntarily. BUT the DA continued to go and do interviews and speak of a Wall of Silence and say the players would not cooperate, he then linked that with guilt.
It's apparent to me that the 2 strippers lied to the DA and police about many issues that night (not just the rape) and the DA took their word for it. The alleged Victim stole a car from a man she did a lap dance for in 2002 and took the police on a high speed chase out of the county and then tried to run over the police officer when she stopped on a dead end road. Her license has been suspended 3 times and she's had continual substance abuse problems, yet the DA believed them. Many local journalists are mad at the DA because he told them he was certain about Y or 100% certain about X, it has been verified. Then these local journalists went on National TV as the expers and they passed on BAD info that the DA gave them. The DA stated the girl was stripping for the 2nd time and she was very nervous. Turns out she's been stripping for at least 5 years at strip clubs and at private parties under the name Crystal Magnum, and she may even have changed her name to Crystal Magnum.
The women lied about the fact they arrived together.. DA said these women didn't know each other before this night and that the arrived separately. They may have been trying to cover up a previous party or booking that night, because the feuding neighbor saw them arrive together, get out of the car together and described what each was wearing down to their shoes.
They lied about not making the first 911 call, they made it and it was probably Kim, the other dancer. The neighbor's statement and the police report of arriving 120 seconds after that call to an empty house shows that call was made by the strippers.. The DA said it was independent corroboration of another racial event that night that was "frightening" and showed the state of mind of the boys.
In fat, the DA said NEITHER Dancer made EITHER call, he was certain. He had a policespokesmen admit in a conference that Kim (the 2nd stripper) was the impetus behind the second call. That begs the question why didn't she make the second call from her cell phone, instead of driving almost 3 miles to a Supermarket and ask a security guard to call 911?
Are they again looking for corroboration? Did they identify that a he said, she said would be problematic for them. So, they called anonymously and blocked the first call, and then got a Store security guard involved with the 2nd call. All this, when a police station is less than a mile away. AND remember, the stripper says in the first 911 call - I live right by here and she intimates that these player were involved with another racial incident in that same area. Strangely, the police have no record of the incident she mentions, yet, in Durham, anything REMOTELY considered racial makes the Headlines on the Nightly news. Even in Raleigh, if a leaflet goes into a mailbox that says YOU PEOPLE, an investigation is started.
There are SO MANY HOLES in this case and the MEDIA WON'T REPORT ANY OF THEM!
