"Anyone know how soon after the alleged rape she made the IDs?"

I got the impression it was days not hours.

It is a RUMOR that there was ruffies in her system. From what I remember hearing on Fox was that there wasn't any tox screen done. Is it not possible that the girl took something herself, perhaps to make herself less inhibited in order to dance?

About three weeks, as near as I can figure out.

"Of course, but the fact still remains, no DNA found, so where do you go for you're rape case? This prosecutor is really playing with fire, because he can't go after anything else when the woman claimed she was raped, he has to prove that charge, and without the DNA, he's hasn't got a convincing way to prove it, and he knows it!"

This is speculation... in some states rape can be with an object. It is also possible for a rapist to use a condom. But who knows... The DA was an idiot to make those early public pronouncements.

If that's the case and assuming that she was not raped, then time enough to find out who on the team has the worst reputations and finger them for the crime.

1st degree rape, kidnapping, and 1st degree assault charges.

This prosecutor is scum of the first degree! He's throwing in other charges which assures a better probability of getting somekind of conviction.

Tox screen wasn't done? Aren't drug and alcohol tests SOP for a rape kit?

Of course.

I do believe she was DUI at twice the legal limit in the incident where she stole her customer's car and then tried to run down the arresting officer.

What are you talking about?

I didn't see that among the charges.

Maybe she picked Finnerty out because it'll make a better civil rights suit against Duke for Jackasson's people to shake Duke down with. Now we know why Jackasson is stating he will give her money. He wants to be on the receiving end of the suit.

Yeah I think we've got a serious crime here one way or another - either a sexual assualt or a serious frame-up.

I am really unhappy with the legal system these days.

This is nothing more then a political ploy.

Ditto.

No, it was weeks. The lack of identification was the basis for Nifong;s DNA dragnet.

the DA has an election to win.

Isn't the election pretty soon? he just needs to throw a bunch of slop on the wall and see what sticks

Reade Seligmann, seen here, and Collin Finnerty were arrested and charged with rape and kidnapping Tuesday.

rumors of a toxicology report that rohypnol was used.

When I read the eyewitness reports of the woman's condition days ago, this is the first thing I thought of.

They;re really not part of the rape kit. The medical tean are urged to do them anyway.

I think by hate crime, he was referring to the gay-bashing incident. I had called it a homosexual incident and that kind of made Finnerty look ... well.

But there is no mention of the previous treatment of the 911 call.

I haven't followed the case closely either but, IIRC, the PD did respond to the call but there wasn't anything to be seen....the party was over.

Aside from that, I doubt that a call to 911 complaining that 'They called me the N-word' rates a High Priority response...compared to tavern brawls, house fires, auto accidents, etc.
