I would say that the Jackson/Sharpton factor is absolutely crucial to how this all plays out.
If one of them gets involved, the complaints of blacks has "street cred" and it really heats up.
Contrary-wise, if neither of them comes, I think the black anger does not reach critical mass.
I am sure that the reverends are agonizing over whether or not to put their "credibility" on the line.
she really is a vile women, she is never happy unless convictions are made after she deems everybody guilty and; becomes pissed when they are found not guilty
One of the articles from maybe a week ago said that there was no evidence that she had engaged in any kind of sex for some time -- three weeks? -- when she was examined in the hospital.
I wait with you for someone knowledgeable to pop up.
No evidence of sexual activity of any kind, maybe she dreamed she was raped in her induced state of drunkness
It would not be odd for a nurse to be sympathetic to an alleged victim. Let's remember that most alleged rape victims are truthful, first of all, and second, nurses operate from a calling to care for their patients and help them heal, so I don't think the way they approach recording their observations is a function of the propaganda, but it may be in some cases. As long as the nurses record observations accurately and objectively, I don't think their personal sentiments are an issue. But I would not be surprised if there are a few who would fudge their medical ethics a bit if they have an axe to grind against men in general.
Some people have claimed that the alleged rapers could have used condoms. But why did they take DNA samples from 46 players on the team if they had nothing to compare it to? Presumably, the rape kit would have shown some foreign DNA in the stripper. If there had been no DNA on her, then there would have been no reason to test the 46 other guys.
Speaking of WPTF, I salute their work on this matter. It has been a long time -- in this area -- since I even bothered to tune in radio for local news.
WPTF even carried the NCCU thing live. They are all over it!
That would fit with what was posted earlier in this thread:
And she [I think "she" refers to the security guard] said the police did not say they were going to take her to the hospital -- they said they were going to take her [the stripper] to the 24 hour holding tank.

If the Revs don't show, the indictments must go.
That is the exact reason I would not have submitted to a DNA test if I was one of the players. No reason to do it until they had the tests from the stripper completed first.
What the DA is doing in this case is the exact reason you do not talk to the cops if you think they may be out to get you; even more so if you are innocent.
The discussions about the photographs of the dancers arriving and leaving have described what she was wearing and that the clothing (more like a costume) was intact when she left. She is described as wearing a skin-colored body suit with a red lingerie top and bottoms (I'm guessing those short, silky nylon little dance or jogging shorts). It's been discussed numerous times, and was originally described by one the defense lawyers telling about what all the photos showed.
Yet she was found in a nightgown. How did that come about?
I can almost guarantee you she will not be called. Nifong will shuck and jive about how traumatic the whole thing has been so he will have the reporting officer sworn in and read her statement.
Didn't the security guard at Kroger's describe her as being in see through lingerie? Since it has been reported that her boyfriend took her to the hospital, perhaps he brought her the nightgown/bathrobe?
One possible way I can see this playing out is that at some point (after the May election), the DA announces that she is a "victim of drug dependency" and that her account of what happened was so clouded by her "unfortunate condition" that her testimony is unreliable and the charges will be dismissed by agreement.
The woman is then not charged for making a false accusation, but admitted into a drug treatment program. She fends off possible lawsuits by claiming that her accusation was not made in bad faith, but was a product of her drug dependency.
I feel deprived that we don't yet know what type of dancing she enjoyed - foxtrot? two-step?
I thought it was more like 40%, but I'm really not sure. 10% sounds low to me, but it's been awhile since I noticed any statistics on that subject.
Remember when we were wondering why it took the police so long to get her out of the parking lot .. and to the hospital?
Sounds like we know why now
And for them to pry her fingers off like that .. she most of been doing some major drugs
We use prelims here in CA, although a GJ is available. It's sort of a cowardly route to take, but some prosecutors use it in iffy cases. NC uses the indicting GJ to initiate all threshhold felony cases. There is no defense presented to the GJ.
So having racial slurs thrown your way is a 911 emergency?
