Kerry Sutton said today that they all offered to sit down with Nifong and all the players and tell him their side, but he refused.

This adds to the 'suspect shopping' rumors. Did Crystal Mangum overshoot by a class or two if she was looking for a payday?

She is in the big leagues now.

"Or as Lisa Bloom put it tonight, "So she stole a car! So what?""

Somehow I doubt we would ever hear Lisa Bloom say, "So HE stole a car! So what?"

LOL! That's a fact, but it is DD Form's 214 in my case, I have several.

Past my bed time now, but I promise to hunt up this thread early tomorrow. It seems destined to to set a few records around here.

Freegards,

this just isn't on the alphabets networks, ESPN, sports talk shows talk it up to the keister; wish I could hear a bit more of it, everyone and their dog is talking about it. To me, it is close to a no-story, they are just kind of keeping the peace with the motions of the DA; but that does not mean I am standing in judgement on the values of the case so far; I haven't been able to keep up with it.

Gotta give Univision credit for the fact that they still allow beautiful women to be beautiful women as much as they like. No holding back even if the woman is hosting a kid's show let alone the weather.

To: torchthemummy; I want to know
"Defense attorneys say the lacrosse players requested two white dancers for the party, but the two African-American women showed up."

That's the first time I've read that.

But if you think about that, that could explain a lot of things.

If black girls showed up and were giving a bad performance anyway, maybe the players called it off and the girls got mad because they weren't getting paid.

That would also explain the statements about the boys shoving money under the bathroom door to get them to leave; and it would explain why they locked her out.

And it would explain why those girls would be so mad; they could have been so mad that Kim decided to make that first 911 call, which in and of itself, makes absolutely NO sense.

Unless you consider the fact that they were pi$$ed because the players didn't want black girls.

And it sure makes it easier for a woman who is going to be charged with public drunkenness to cry rape.

Ditto. In fact I would say it is possible the DA announced the search for "the third man" just so the defense would delay said release.

All Nifong is doing is convicting these kids not based on what they've done but who they are.

BTW, how likely is he to win this election anyway?

Chris1, I am beginning to feel that I completely misjudged you, please accept my sincere apologies.

That's the most sensible analysis I've seen anywhere in the major media, except perhaps for Judge Napolitano.

Nancy Grace is a liar who knows her (tiny) audience and wants to keep it.

There's your answer.

Good post. And interesting that the white dancer request info came from the defense. Very interesting.

Even if he lost the election, it would be difficult for the new guy to call off the dogs. I don't know criminal law, but if the DA has nothing more than the story of the victim, with contradictory evidence out there, I just can't see quite how this could get to trial. Speculation is fun, but we will just have to wait. Clearly Duke jocks and frat boys should have their parties in some adjacent county more suburban. It is sort of like Pubbie politicians being tried in DC, vis a vis Dems. It just isn't a very level playing field.

Bill Thomas, a lawyer for a player who has not been charged, said that one of the two men under indictment did not even attend the party. He would specify which one, saying only that "multiple witnesses and a commercial transaction" would provide an alibi. If true... speechless.

Only observing that a Yankee doesn't always appreciate the scope of racial tensions in the south.

So we up North live in harmony? Puleeze.

Kerry Sutton made a very ominous statement on Abrams today: she said she expects him to withdraw (?) this indictment -- maybe she said drop the case -- "when he finds out what we have found out.

Well...I have heard rumors from someone, but I cannot say how accurate the rumors are.
Anyway, they are about Miss Crystal Mangum.

I am not sure what I can post here without having facts to back it up...it's only rumors.

Howlin, I am sure you have heard the same things I have.
