They don't deny hollering the N word, but they said they got into a verbal altercation with the women because they were attacking their manhood.

Nope; and he won't turn over the video of her doing it.

That's fine though. The clock starts ticking this morning and now he will be forced by the judge to share everything he's got.

No. It's the 7 minute gap between pictures of her smiling and on the ground.


Why isn't the 27min gap important?....that's when the alledged rape could have occured...

Go ahead mariabush. Pat yourself on the back for those perfect kids you raised. /sarc

Any parent who declares "my kids will never..." is setting themselves up for disappointment or is in complete denial about reality.

The kids did that all by themselves.

Supposedly the first picture in the sequence show a watch on one of the players' arms and it matches the time on the camera.

Dan Abrams has interviewed the forensic expert who authenticated them.

"So, if there's no genetic material on or in the woman, on what grounds can they even take these two men into custody?"

Rape does not have to occur with the P-n-s. Have you ever heard of a broom stick or lets say LaCross Stick?

Rita Cosby on MSNBC:

She says the accuser DID identify the boys shortly after the incident at the police station.

_____________________________


The DA was at a forum at NCCU,the accusers college, the day after the DNA came back negative. A women in the audience wanted to know why an arrest was not made considering she knew the accusers family and was told by them that the accuser did ID a player.
The DA's response to the woman in the audience was, 'that is wrong.'

So, I assume at that time this hooker/stripper Crystal did not make the ID.

As a matter of fact, I do.

And I know one fact: you haven't been anywhere near these threads and the only reason you're here today is to make to try to make youself feel important and to make trouble;

That's trolling.

Knock it off.

This is such a travesty.



I happened to catch a comment by Mark Furman last night on one of the talk fest. He basically said the DA has now resorted to plan B [the old way of getting indictments] since no DNA was found. That plan being using the other players to indicate actions against those charged by promising them they wouldn't be indicited and have no charges filed against them. We'll see I guess.

"You appear to have much unfounded faith in the DA and the police. And little knowledge of the many *facts* that are public about this case. "

I have not placed "faith" in anything, except the understanding that the public is never privy to all the facts in cases like this.
I have read the public releases...but if you think this constitutes the entirety of what is known....then I disagree.

"I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He's trying to get re-elected, and is creating a politically charged case to do it."

Oh. So you're a mind-reader. I didn't know that.
I don't have that capability so I tend to wait before I form an opinion.

"Do you have reason to think otherwise? I'd be interested to hear your logic.

Like I said ...I cannot read minds, so I won't pretend to know what the DA is thinking.

"I suggest faith is best left for deities, and not governmental officials."

I always thought mind reading was better left for things like palm readings....or polker.

Thanks for the FYI. More accuracy here on FR than any other news source that I am aware of!

Absolutely.

I bet you they ask for a speedy trial .........I just have this feeling that they want to get on with their lives.

And as far as I am concerned, after today all bets are off and Nifong deserves anything that happens to him.

I do not believe this rumor going around by the press that "Nifong is close to identifying the third suspect."

I think that is Nifong trying to scare them and screaming "Look at me" "Look at me"

We're going to hear some stuff now!

Interesting that she picked the one with a prior assault charge. What a coincidence. lol

She must not have ID'd anyone right away. Isn't that why it was deemed crucial that every player had to give a DNA sample....except for the one black guy, of course.

No, the legal definition of rape is very clear. Violating someone with a lacrosse stick or something else would be a sick and inhumane crime; however, it would not fit the definition of rape.

Just to clarify - mariabush was complimenting me on a warning (stemming from this case) I gave my college attending son this past weekend. She was not discussing the Duke students' parents, just my parenting. Thank you.

The state of North Carolina can't be happy about this situation. Think about the people and the companies that were considering a move to NC and especially the Durham area. This CANNOT be good for business.
