"Racism" charges against people here tend to push all of us over the edge. If anyone wants to witness true racism, go to Durham and watch the demonstrations in front of the house on Buchanan Street.

I will cease responding to you and mariabush.

I believe you both prefer to provoke & twist words.

Regarding that e-mail, there was a Time magazine article yesterday that said that defense attorneys say a sting operation was used with that e-mail and that the actual e-mail was sent by the police to all the players. And on MSNBC, someone (Dan Abrams, I think) said the player who presumably sent the e-mail was actually in class the time the e-mail was sent.


@@@@@@

Whew!!! That takes my breath away, and makes my skin crawl. Can I sue somebody for causing me physical and emotional distress? OMG!

The only case that I am trying to make is that there is way too much speculation going on from people that have absolutely no way of knowing what really happened.

Asking a question is twisting words?

"Do you want cites for that? "

No, it was all the other stuff you said they didn't have. I was just wondering how you knew there was no hair or fingernail evidence etc since I had not seen the forensics or the medical reports leaked.

I heard Nancy Grace on Imus, she says the sealed indictments were done as a favor to the Duke men arrested. Another example of white privilege.

She's lost it.

ESPN Radio just had Roger Cossack and he said there were rumors of a toxicology report that rohypnol was used. This is the first I have heard of this.

Given the statements made by the first stripper that would seem obvious. I honestly hope these Duke lacrosse players wouldnt have been dumb enough to pull a stunt like that. In this day and age, how can you be dumb enough to even bring in an escort? You're rich, privileged, male, and you put yourself in a compromising position ----you're gonna get sued. What a bunch of damn idiots.

Let me vouch for mariabush - she's top notch, and a long-time Freeper. The charge of racism was, IMHO, uncalled for, and since it hasn't been repeated, probably regretted.

Although we disagree on this one, in no way is maria a "twister of words".

What's not speculation is that no DNA was found anywhere on the accusers body or clothing. None. The DA admits this.

What's not speculation are the 20 photographs taken by players from the moment the accused arrived until the moment she left. The timeline provided in the date/time stamped photographs have been verified by forensics experts and at most give a 7 minute time when players could have raped the accused. 7 minutes.

What's not speculation is that photographs show her leaving the party smiling and talking on her cell phone. But not calling the police, clearly.

What's not speculation is that the photographs show she arrived drunk and bruised.

Carry on.

Where did I say the pills were "from the accuser's purse"? I said no such thing, she had her purse when she left the bathroom, leaving behind the other items I mentioned, including the pills. That was told by police officers and
attorneys who saw the reports. The question was whether they were painkillers or illicit prescription drugs, because they were unmarked and unlabeled. Why would the suspects leave them there? Whey would they leave the cash, the cell phone and the makeup kit if they had something to hide? Those items sat there for two days until they were recovered. The accuser said the items were "stolen" and lied about the amount of cash in the police report, previously linked at this site. You really should read all the facts before you question others.

Are you saying that hiring the 'dancer' had consequences that they should expect and just accept? Being tried for rape, kidnapping, and assault based on so little "evidence" is a consequence that no one should have to face.

Hello?????

The DA admits they have no DNA. None. DNA isn't just semen. It's hair, saliva, etc. There is no evidence of a condom being used. There is no DNA. I don't know how to make it any clearer.

I am sorry about your friend's son.

I have to disagree with you that anyone in this case is a victim. All of them were doing things that have horrible consequences in life. They should have known better.
