The kind of sh*t this DA is trying to pull here for the self serving purpose of getting himself elected, will never end until we the people draw a line in the sand and say, never again!

It's time we put the prosecutor's ass into the same cell and same sentence as the convicted, when we find that any member of the Court, knowingly and intentionally put an innocent person behind bars.

Hahahahahaa! Damn, I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I'm digging out that VCR tape!

I hate to see what Duke's next homecoming parade looks like...

That's a scary thought and one I hope the defense team has thought of.

Brit Hume will be discussing with the roundtable how the identity of the players and accused should be handled. Coming up after commercial.

That's easy to say once you have it. People who are working their butts off trying to get where you are do not have the luxury not to think about it if they are still trying to do better. The only people I know who are like that are college professors.

Perhaps that's why 2 "dancers" were hired instead of just 1. I wondered why 2 were hired.

You're right....results from the hair samples are expectedback tomorrow. I jumped the gun on that......

BTW 2 things I've been thinking about:

If Crystal was so dead drunk, wouldn't her muscles be relaxed? If so, how is it that her hand had to be pried from the car's brake handle at Kroger's? Was she faking comatoseness?

I learn a lot at FR...for instance today I learned for the first time what really goes on in the stripper performances. LOL Sooooooo, since Crystal was late getting to the house, and a couple of hours later being inspected by a SANE nurse for evidence of rape.........the findings so dear to Nifong's heart and the heart apparently of his case, the nurse said her condition was in keeping w/rape.

Well...swelling and pain/soreness but no DNA suggests, doesn't it, that Crystal just might have had an "appointment" prior to this one in which she did use sex toys in her performance. Speculation? Sure. Possible? Sure.

They seemed to have made the same mistake as Nifong .. believing the fabricator. She said she was attacked by Matt, Bret, and Adam, and the parents of sons with those names are the only ones listed on that site.

Did we drink underage? Sure, but we never acted in public in a way to draw attention or in a way that if people started S$%^ we could not stomp them down.

I don't trust the recollection prowess of a drunk.

You probably did draw attention to yourself, but you just don't remember.

At any rate, you sound like a self-righteous bluffer. As my teenage brother says, "Man, you have issues."

Then you know nothing about GJs, the purpose, the GJ, or human nature.

I had a client who was a teacher who was accused of grabbing a student's butt in the hallway before class. No witnesses, only the best friend who was not that reliable. They had a tape that literally showed the man did nothing, yet at a bench trial, the judge still found him guilty and sentenced him to 30 days jail. We won on appeal, unanimously, since there was zero evidence, but sometimes Shiite happens when it comes to sex crimes trials. What should happen is not what always happens.
It cost this man his job, his rep, and legal fees, which were almost free since he did not have that much money and he was a family friend.

The man is always in a lose lose position and that is why is is important for young guys to be taught early on how to act and how not to get caught in circumstances that make these accusations easy.

Entirely possible. Either that or a sex toy that the women may have used on each other. Someone mentioned that upthread.

Brit: Names of alleged rape victims are not public in most cases. Should that be.

Bill Sammon: You don't want to add the burden of public humiliation to the woman. But it doesn't account for a case like this one which is a false accusation (that's what he said) and she can hide behind this cloak of anonymity and a guy will have a name dragged through the mud. That's not what I'm saying happened here.

Mara Liaason: If these guys are falsely accused...names shouldn't be published all around.

Charles Krauthammer: That's not going to happen in this society. There was a time rape was considered a shame and a stigma 30 yrs ago. However, that's changed and Susan Estridge was a victim of a rape and she's talked and written about it. (I didn't know that). 30 years later it's worth asking if the shield is required. It does shift the burden of public humiliation to ...I wonder if it's time to change the shield custom.

Mara: In talking about where a rape occurs, not this case (LOL), it's worth keeping the shield law.

Bill Sammon: This prosecutor is up for tough election. I'm not saying the name releases...he's keeping the indictments in the public through the election.

A couple of years ago, my niece pledge a sorority at Carolina; she called me one night and said that the pledge class had been invited to party at the Pika house.

I didn't say anything for a while, but then I just couldn't contain myself; I screamed into the phone, "Don't go down in that basement! It's a firetrap!"

It was when I was there and still is!

"Guest on FNC says the two guys picked by the accused are thought to be the most wealthy on the team!"

I said several days ago that she would identify the suspects when their credit reports came back! LOL!

That was my thought,too. They need for Nifong to fire his final shot before they release the photos. Once they're released, they need to post them everywhere they can, including every tabloid in the country, and even the ones including "Kim".
