Yeah, Kobe raped her, and then she went and had consensual sex with yet another man. She was a groupie who had consensual sex with Kobe and cried wolf.
And what adults do consensually really isn't your (or my, or the government's) business. This matter is a special case because Duke, as a private university, has the right to impose moral and social codes on its students. If they violated it by hiring a stripper to perform at a party, the university can punish them accordingly.
The idea of imposing strict social codes via the government is abhorrent. I think you'd feel more at home in Singapore or under the Taliban.
ROFL. I'll never, ever forget Rita the night she misreported the SCOTUS ruling in Gore v Bush. She's unwatchable, imo.
That was a night to remember...I had to turn on MSNBC to get the facts....
Would that explain why the defense attorneys would not divulge the ATM receipts and cab ride information until after the two were charged? After all, Nifong wasn't interested in seeing the time-stamped pictures.
Also, if a rape had occurred, it's likely the guys would just have claimed it was consensual. After all, the stripper is one step up from a prostitute and it wouldn't have been far fetched for them to claim consensual sex.
But they all claim that no sex took place that night with the stripper.
When all is said & done, these boys should avail themselves to every legal option available to hold Nifong accountable.
I skimmed through the thread, the part about the boys not being there....did the defense attorneys try to tell Nifong that or was this a sort of trap? IOW, did they hold onto this information until after the indictment just in case?
Clue: their lives, for all intents and purposes, are destroyed.
IIRC, the school is honoring the scholarships, just ending (for at least next year) their program. Those who wanted to transfer to another school with a lacrosse program will allowed to do so.
Some of her fake nails were found in the bathroom at the house. She claims she fought off the 3 men in that bathroom as they raped her vaginally and anally.
If that is true, their DNA would be under her fingernails.
And photographs show that she walked into the house missing some of those fake nails.
Swifter is a life saver....a Freeper must have...
I think they have video.
How often does the average male college student wash linens?
Should they be cleared or, heaven forbid, if they get put in the Kafka-esque situation of having to prove their innocence - as opposed to having the DA prove anything, I expect it would be hard to wash the grime off. Maybe they could get a good attorney and counter attack.
He has got to go.
Exactly. And what makes them think her memory will get better a month later? I think the DA is looking for someone to talk (which won't happen imo because there's nothing to talk about).

You can't tell me there would be no DNA in her after that!
She was late, after all. It showed that she had "relations" with someone. Bf/john/pimp is loooong gone.
Sad thing is that most of these women use drugs/alcohol to cope, or get into the business to feed an existing habit.
I'm betting the Seligmann family will be "exonerated".
This entire thing is just as absurd and ugly as the Libby thing.
this will prove how far the DA has over-reached once and for all
And I have just about every swiffer product ever produced just for days like this.
Thanks for the information. I've got two in college right now. Ouch!
