Matt is clear.
I agree, she should but she can't because it didn't happen.
She claimed rape vaginally, anally, and orally while being held down by two, while the third did the damage I would assume.
All this in a tiny bathroom where it would be next to impossible to do it, and yet she smiled while on the phone as she was leaving. It just didn't happen.
This is about race and money -- and I think we all know that.

Exculpatory Evidence
April 18, 2006 03:27 PM EST
By Sher Zieve Defense attorneys for the two Duke University students and lacrosse team members who were arrested for the purported rape of a 27-year old stripper said Tuesday that they may have evidence that proves one or neither of their clients was at the location at the time the alleged assault occurred. Durham prosecutor Mike Nifong has said that he still plans to arrest a third student.
Fox News reports that a source close to the case has said that time and date stamped credit card, ATM and/or taxi-cab receipts may place the students at a different location. A video-tape of the accuser is also said to exist, which ostensibly shows that the exotic dancer arrived at the party with bruises on her person.
Also, the initial tests of DNA taken from the male students and the accuser are said to have shown none of the team players DNA was on the alleged victim or any of her belongings.

Very true, and I'm sick of it. I've had enough.
You are so good about providing links for these threads, Maggie. Thank you.
Now that would be stupid, considering how easy it will be to prove by scraping it and testing it... I can see this DA making a fool of himself on a daily basis.
Hopefully these guys won't get reamed by a compromise verdict on charges such as kidnapping if the intelligent jurors can't convince a few freaks to fully acquit.
I gotta do something ... I can't out type you. LOL
Okay. but another Goof in the media. Mis-reporting the identity of a Rapist.
Thanks
LOL
I'll check in later to see what else is new.
There ya go! LOL
First off, hiring a stripper to come to a frat or sports house is bad news, especially, if she is coming without a bouncer or escort. Why do you think Strip Clubs are run the way they are? Underage drinking, drunk strippers, and being in an area you are not from is a recipe for disaster.
Second, you have underage drinking going on which is not something you want to bring attention to if you are a sports team. In this case, an arrest or charge for underage drinking, off campus, could lead to violations for scholarship money etc etc. Just stupid!
Third, any time you have different races and different mixes of people, and getting a "towney" you are just setting yourself up for trouble. These kids are targets, not only for the locals, but also for the cops. A girl like this could easily smell blood in the water and these kids should have recognized that. Acting in a way that invites attention to yourself, especially under these circumstances, is, again, just plain stupid.
That is to start. I don't think these guys did it, but they definately did not make it easier for them to show that they did not.
Instrument.
He's gone.
Watching Abrams, I kept wishing they would all hush and let Galanter talk. Kerry Sutton seemed mealy-mouthed, as if afraid to offend Nifong. And as Abrams brought up the different ways the accuser's story has been challenged by emerging facts, Susan Filan piped up with, "That's why we have juries." If I were one of the parents, I would be very afraid.
Actually, Duke is a relatively small private university and Durham is not a college town in the traditional sense. There are plenty of good old fashioned bubbas in Durham. Your description does fit UNC and Chapel Hill.
Paper trail: receipts, CELL PHONE RECORDS, ATM picture and receipt, plus more.
Kerry Sutton has clients with their futures hanging in the balance with Nifong's decisions. IMO, that's why she was mealy mouthed. His decisions affect her daily.
I noticed that too.
(04/18/06 -- DURHAM) - Eyewitness News and the ABC News law-and-justice unit are getting a chance to examine time-stamped photos taken inside the home on the night of the controversial Duke lacrosse party.
11:02 p.m.: The first picture shows at least 10 students hanging out in a living room, apparently waiting for the dancers to arrive. Most of the students appear to be drinking. By the number of people in this photo, it appears only a fraction of the 47 lacrosse team members are there.
12 a.m.: This is the first picture of the strippers. Students are watching the show, but not grabbing or attempting to touch the women. Bruises are clearly visible on the legs and thighs of the alleged victim.
12:00:40 a.m.: Another picture taken 40 seconds later shows bruises on the accuser's knees. Her right knee appears to have an open cut.
12:03:57 p.m.: About four minutes after arriving, a picture shows the strippers leaving the room. The photo clearly shows that the alleged victim left behind one of her shoes.
Between 12:10 a.m. and 12:30 a.m.: No photos were taken between this time.
12:30:12 a.m.: The next photo shows the alleged victim on the back porch, carrying what appears to be her purse and a makeup bag. Her clothes are intact.
12:30:47 a.m.: A photo taken 30 seconds later shows the alleged victim on the porch and she appears to smile.
12:31:26 a.m.: But 30 seconds after that, a photo shows the alleged victim stumbling down the back steps of the house.
12:37:58 a.m.: A series of photos are taken, all showing the woman lying on her left side on the back porch, seemingly passed out or asleep. She had visible cuts on her legs and buttocks that did not appear in the previous photos.
The cuts may be from falling. The cuts on her buttocks line up with the edge of a screen door she may have hit on the way down.
12:41 a.m.: The final photo shows the accuser and the second dancer in a black car. The accuser is in the passengers seat.
Many of the photos taken on the back porch show pink splotches, which the defense says is undried nail polish. They claim the accuser was polishing her nails in the bathroom between 12:10 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. - - not being raped.
