I suspect there's even more in her background. This is the sorted warm and fuzzy version.

I think this new info of her first police report of a rape is a bombshell.
The details are so similar. It is another nail in the coffin.

I want to know why the defense team did not know about this with all the money they are getting, and all the investigators working for the defense.
Unless Finnerty's attorney was just saying he never heard of it, for the media's sake.
He has been keeping his cards close to his vest.

This case should be dropped.....Yesterday!

The defense attorneys know, and the AV and family knows they know ...

ZAHN: Jason Carroll, thanks so much. Appreciate it.

Just a bit earlier on, I spoke with Joe Cheshire, the attorney representing one of the Duke lacrosse players.

CHESHIRE: Paula, well, first of all, let me say this for a living -- let me say this about what this woman does for a living.

Anybody that knows what she does for a living and the reality of what she does for a living knows that she could have received those injuries any time before 12:00 that evening. Now, as -- as this trial goes on, we will be able to discover exactly where she is. But the fact that she may have had sex with somebody after 6:00 or before 6:00 would mean, if she went to the hospital, they would show that she had -- quote -- "injuries," which is a word I don't like, but a medical condition, or things in her body, consistent with the fact that she may have had sex with somebody.

CHESHIRE: Well, I'm -- I'm not going to say or share what we know about her. Obviously, we have done a lot of work on her.

And, when someone makes an accusation, that accusation has to stand up to the actual physical facts of what happened. First of all, hers will not stand up to the actual physical facts.

Secondly, you pointed out that they need to have no motivation to lie. I believe that the lawyers in this case will be able to show, on cross-examination and on the presentation of evidence, that she did have a motive to lie.

Well, if all the cops did was take a report, and told her it was too late to prosecute it, there may be only a paper record of it. The defense investigators would have to go town to town to find out stuff like this. The Creedon police may have a local database with her name in it, and that won't get the complaint into the statewide system if no court documents are ever filed. I doubt we would have learned about it, at least not this soon, if her parents hadn't spoiken of it.
