BTW, a reporter on CNN just said that the defense tried to get the DA to meet with a bunch of players to get all this information to him, but he refused.
They could also get hit by a car crossing the street. If there was such a potential for strippers being raped at these parties, there wouldn't be women willing to perform.
Sorry, I don't buy it. I think men, even young college guys, are able to control themselves better than you give them credit for.
We dealt with that poster this morning; best just to leave it alone.
Even Pauly Zon was incredulous that the investigators hadn't even interviewed all the players and asked them where they were.
This things gonna blow up in Nifong's face big time...
Nancy Grace is U P S E T because they got to surrender in their sport coats!
Big time.
Sharpton on O'Reilly. Couldn't stand to watch...
Well, I worked in the CJ for thrity-two years, and I don't think it's completely corrupt or even inherently corrupt based on its format, but yes, there is a great deal of corruption, mostly concentrated by jurisdiction, rather than a little of it spread around everywhere.
Under NC law, kidnapping is:
"Any person who shall unlawfully confine, restrain, or remove from one place to another, any other person 16 years of age or over without the consent of such person, or any other person under the age of 16 years without the consent of a parent or legal custodian of such person, shall be guilty of kidnapping if such confinement, restraint or removal is for the purpose of:
2) Facilitating the commission of any felony or facilitating flight of any person following the commission of a felony;"

In other states it is sometimes called "false imprisonment."
Is it possible Nifong's this stupid? No one's that dumb, are they?
Drats...I can't watch Idol and Grace at the same time...
And to think all this time I just assumed you were a b!tch. :-)
Takes one to know one?
Thank you all. It just didn't make sense to me. Now I see that the prosecutor will likely attempt to use technicalities against these guys. Hopefully, when all the evidence (or lack thereof) is heard, an impartial jury will come to the proper conclusion.
I think a directed verdict is in order here...
Nancy is APPALLED that they had $400,000 cashier's checks for their bail.
She said, "Money!"
And yes, he CAN be this dumb.
LMAO!
That's a good point. But I think we obviously don't have all the facts, but from what I'm reading IMO it's looking bad for the prosecution...
This is what I found from the SmokingGun
MARCH 29--Here is the original search warrant obtained by North Carolina cops investigating the alleged rape of an exotic dancer during a raucous party attended by members of Duke University's top-ranked lacrosse team. The document, filed by Durham police in Superior Court, contains the alleged victims account of the March 14 attack in a bathroom at an off-campus home shared by team members.
I see no mention of $2000 or even $400 in this original statement by the victim.
UH-OH! This is a perfect chance to set these guys up with some planted evidence. I normally don't engage in such theories, but with Nifong, based on his unethical conduct thus far, it's a distinct possibility.
Why weren't hair samples taken immediately with the DNA dragnet if the medical staff taking the rape kit samples found a pubic hair?
