Rita continues that Kim told her that the girl's condition deteriorated so much she couldn't even talk or walk or say her name and from the moment they left, they never talked and she just drove to Kroger.

Which leads me to believe that she took something in the bathroom. I friend of mine used to date a girl that did that. She would be perfectly lucid at the beginning of dinner but would be totally incoherent 40 minutes later with just a glass of wine and a visit to the bathroom.

It doesn't make any sense to drug a stripper that makes house calls.

The 'normal' practice is for the agency that worked the case, would be the one to serve the warrant.

The investigating officers would be most familiar with the facts and details. It also allows a 'peek' at who's who in the zoo, or even gather additional evidence.
The use of the Sheriff in this case sounds like 'neutral third party' involvement.

After they focused on these individuals, they should have been given an opportunity to give their side of the story With Their Attorney's Present.

There has been a number of irregularity's in this case, these guys may have a excellent case for violations of civil rights under color of authority.

This one?

Bill Thomas, a defense attorney representing one of the team captains, said Tuesday that neither Seligmann nor Finnerty had any contact with the woman that night. “We are ... actually shocked,” he said. “We always thought she would pick out someone who at least had a conversation with her or paid her.”

Thomas said “multiple witnesses and a commercial transaction” indicated one of the charged players wasn’t at the party. And defense attorney Robert Ekstrand, who represents other players, said neither Seligmann nor Finnerty was at the party “at the relevant time.”

Is this something new or has she said this before? re being drugged...

And is it really possible Crystal went from smiling as she left the house and talking on a cell phone to basically passed out?

[Mad-Margaret]

If Kim was alone and separated from the AV for that 20 minute period, why aren't there any pictures of Kim alone. There's a 20+ minute gap in which no pix were taken. That seems to support the boys' side that the two women were in the bathroom.

[Peach]

I wish to heck Rita would ask Kim what they did in the bathroom for 27 minutes.

Also, the 20 minutes Kim said she didn't see Crystal doesn't make sense. People who have viewed the photographs say there is only 7 minutes when the accuser isn't photographed, excluding the 27 minutes both girls were in the bathroom together.

[mystery-ak]

Also, why was the accuser smiling and talking on a cell phone as she left the house but shortly after that, Kim says she couldn't even talk in the car?


They have pics of that don't they?

[Peach]

I think this interview was a reply from the other day because I thought freepers were discussing that now date rape drugs were being discussed. But I'd never seen that particular segment of Kim's interview.

[pinz-n-needlez]

I picture you as this sweet Freeper lady...

Where *do* you get the slang I've seen on this thread???

LOL =;-0

That doesn't make sense to me either. The DA might have worked on Kim, if you know what I mean.

[luthers_inkwell]

I would image that most departments insist that the person look straight ahead with mouth closed.

I dunno about that. When I got busted for posession and assaulting an officer (crazy days in HS) I deliberately picked my nose for the mug shot. The cop laughed but let it go thru. It covered up a bruise on my jaw, though, so maybe that was why he let it go.

[Peach]

Yes, they do. And Dan Abrams has seen them.

:-D

This started a few days ago when the 911 the Kroger security guard and the dispatch conversation with a policeman at the scene where released with characterized the accuser as "passed out drunk".

It's actually a pretty clever move as there is a hysteria over date-rape drugs.

[toldyou]

"....Kerry Sutton as being told by Nifong that all three captains living in the house have been cleared."

I love it.
Did anyone see Wendy Murphy last night, with that smirk on her face, mention the two captain's NAMES, saying that that their DNA was "all over the bathroom where she was raped." She was implying that they will probably be the ones arrested. (And she's the one who insisted all along that the DNA found on the towels was semen.)

[Peach]

:-) Oops - I'm going to lose my reputation, aren't I?

Cop shows have taught me nearly all I know about this other world. That's probably not a good thing.

Im getting confused...are we talking about 2 20min gaps or 1 20min gap with two versions of what was happening?

[Mad-Margaret]

I think that both she and the security guard have had a lot of pressure from their community. Both have modified their original statements.

B-U-R-N!!!
