Ruffies are GHB, better known as a date rape drug. It makes you appear drunk and in many cases you don't remember what happened while you were under its influence. It's used mostly by scumbags who slip it in a girl's drink and then have sex with her, but I'm sure there are people who take it deliberately to get really F@cked up. You would never take it if you wanted to continue functioning, though. And it would make no sense for her to take it before stripping- unless she is a total idiot.

Normal practice is to say "look at the camera please".

If they make faces or act the clown, an additional photo will be taken.
It's not a good thing to be look'n the fool, particularly in cases where alcohol is involved. The photo can be introduced to impeach any testimony where the defendant says they were sober.
Most judges will not allow booking photos into evidence as they are too prejudicial.
(this is prolly the wrong thread to mention I worked a case and shipped the guy to joint for rape and kidnapping a Fontana street working girl - course the guy confessed and took me to where he stashed her purse and underwear)

How long do you think it'll be before Nancy Grace, Wendy Murphy, or Kimberly Guilfoyle say that the boy(s) planned an alibi?

Just like all the other contortions we've heard. They used condoms (when it's not in the accuser's statement); They used fake names; They planned the entire event; Drunk college kids
were careful enough to rape her 3 ways and beat, kick, and strangle her to within inches of her life and managed to leave absolutely no trace of DNA (skin cells, hair, blood, salvia, or semen)!

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.

Told you.

Okay....just a few minutes ago Abrams was answering his e-mail and stated that the accuser has said the reason that no DNA was present is she thinks now they were wearing condoms.....did anyone else hear this and is this new?

It may make sense for her PIMP to give it to her, if he misled her about the job.

Photos show two minutes after she arrived that she was walking around missing her right shoe. That's an indication of impairment - 2 minutes after arriving. The other dancer didn't have problems keeping track of her articles or keeping two shoes on.

Surely the hospital rape protocol would have ascertained this?

I heard it, but that's now how I understood the email. I thought the writer was saying it was his/her own idea that the alleged attackers wore condoms. To my knowledge, the idea of condoms being used came from Nifong.

In any case, there were no traces of the lubricant or powder used on condoms found in the accuser.

Well, Nifong has been stupid all along, so why not continue the charade.

What else can he say it is? Nail polish destroys his already laughable timeline. I hope the nail polish is still there.

No DNA or just no DNA that matched the DNA of the 46 Lacrosse players who willingly donated theirs?

If you have a link to any article that says no DNA was found while examining the alleged victim, please share it with us all.

No, I think the claim is that three took turns each raping her, one orifice apiece.

That's what Abrams said...

He's hearing that the woman is now saying they could have used condoms. Orally too? Testing discounted that idea.


It was NOT in her original statement.

I would assume that someone intoxicated or under the influence would have a hard time putting nail polish on without leaving traces all over the place. Any word on this. I assume the crime scene photos would show this, as would the post 12:30 house shots.

Ok, but why not escort her out of the house if she looked bruised already?

I can see the DA saying that the red nail polish could be blood.

Of course he will.

I wonder how much the SANE findings were influenced by the many cuts and bruises the accuser showed up with, instead of really abnormal injuries to her nether regions.
