It's another Tawana Brawley situation.
Unless I see some legitimate evidence to prove otherwise, she'll be known to me as the Durham Dirtbag.
If it wasn't so hard out there for a pimp she coulda had protection. We need to stop making it so hard out there for a pimp!
I think most people are being critical because he ran around like a chicken with its head cut off claiming, "We've got a rape here. The DNA will prove who did this, etc., etc." He put himself so far out there that he's almost to the point of no return now.
How brave?? It was a campaign stop imo. He sure isn't rushing over to Duke to explain himself.
"she'll be known to me as the Durham Dirtbag."
Credit Savage for that line.
He went public before he had his case made.
His case didn't turn out the way he expected.
Now he's left holding the bag.
Since he's up for re-election, he'll probably bluster and bully and try to get something to the grand jury before the election.
Not the way a prosecutor is supposed to conduct himself.
I hadn't heard that the woman had even identified anyone. What's the story on that?
/thinking like a compassionate democrat
I ask you 'o outcall grinders and mo! Would it be better to be subject to the ravages of a john or your pimp?
People are going to whore themselves. We can't change that. Time for pimp protection act?

Yep. I wish I had thought of it, but he deserves the credit.
Given the forum, I guess he didn't feel comfortable using the word "alleged" that is so popular in news stories.
DA in yesterday's grandstanding session said that she did identify someone, but that she identified him just last week, which was two weeks after the alleged attack.
Actually, this is Durham, NC, not LA CA. Three of the country's top-ten black-owned businesses, including #1, are headquartered in Durham. The subliminal tension between races is far lower here than it was in my previous hometown, Roanoke, VA. A hundred years ago, Durham was called "the city of refuge," and noteworthy for the things people of color could achieve here. A number of this town's largest churches, like King's Park International Church, have a demographic mix that mirrors that of the city, and are filled with people who enjoy worshipping together.
I love my adopted home town, and have higher expectations, perhaps, than outsiders would.
It appears we have another DA with no integrity.
FYI Rush is covering right now
After their faces were plastered all over campus.
That's an interesting point. They had to be matching the player's DNA against something, right? Presumably that would be DNA found on her that wasn't hers. We don't know what where the DNA came from -- could have been hair or something and not sperm -- but there's still the question of whose DNA it was.
Instead, we get massive media coverage of this degraded spectacle, "racism" charges, and on and on...
According to the defense attorneys who saw the DNA report, there was no sign that she had sex at all. There was no sign of DNA on or in anything.
I think that AT BEST, if the DA can actually prove anything at all, it would only be assault. In reality, he has no case.
