I looked at smokinggun.....the indictments are dated April 17th. The requests to seal the indictments are stamped April 10 and signed April 12.
Is that just an indication of when the papers were prepared? Legal dummy me would think the request could not be filed until after the indictment.
Ah, if you're holding the stem and the match then it's ok to send your child to school in a town that is a powder keg. :-)
Why would they even seal the indictment in this case?
They probably wouldn't want to. But kids will go anyway. And apply the things they've learned.
Yep, orally ...

CLARK GOLDBAND, NANCY GRACE INTERNET REPORTER: Well, Nancy, I just want to tell everyone who`s tuned in at home, these are extremely graphic, so if you want to just turn away for a few seconds? The victim stated she tried to leave the three males. Forcefully, they held her legs, arms and sexually assaulted her anally, vaginally and orally. She was hit, kicked, strangled, and during the assault, attempted to defend herself but was overpowered. She was sexually assaulted for an approximate 30-minute time period.
Yes, but he says he's holding off until he has absolute certainly .. as with the previous two ... with the receipts.
If the accuser identified two of the students that had already left, the stripper will make the DA look a fool.
One of the players' sister comments about the party
April 6, 2006To gain a better perspective on the situation at Duke, I contacted a good friend of mine from high school whose brother is on the Duke lacrosse team. My friend chose to remain anonymous to protect her brother. Needless to say, her description of the situation at Duke does not match the media’s portrayal.
According to her brother, the events at the house didn’t transpire exactly as the media has portrayed them. She agrees that the party was a “lacrosse party,” but says that her brother, along with many of his teammates, left the house before the dancer arrived. By his estimates, less than half the team was at the house when the incident occurred. The media has largely ignored these details.

Lack of ties to Durham-a flight risk.
As of this morning, the DA has lost control of this case; he is no longer in charge; to the judge, both sides are equal under the law and are entitled to the SAME information.
North Carolina is an open discovery state, so the defense will get to see whatever he has.
I said it last night and I'll say it again: I bet they are going to ask for a speedy trial in Durham.
And they are going to pulverize him.
you meant "lacrosse" of course.
I was reading those and noticed the dates, also. And why were the accused not charged with attempted murder? I thought the dirty dancer claimed that she was strangled?
Heh!
Of all the impressions I'm under, and there are many, no, that is not one of them. Although I find your assurance comforting.
In this context, 'hope' and 'certainty' just don't seem to go together.
The request to seal the indictments, if there were any, came from the defense; it was a preemptive strike to keep Nifong from having them do a perp walk.
These guys do NOT play.
Cut him some slack. His father died last week.
To keep Nifong from sending ten cars with screaming sirens (and camera crews) for the longed for perp walk.
I think the DA has already done a pretty good job of that all on his own. He doesn't need her help. :-)
