My favorite part of the story is when Cash says the other candidates need 6400 siganatures to oppose Nifong as write-in candidates.

Keep in mind that 2 of the accused kids have alibies that the DA hasn't cracked, and can verify their alibies.

The cousin of the alleged victim in the Duke University lacrosse rape case says “alums of Duke” quietly offered the accuser lots of money - a staggering $2 million – early on to drop the charges, and go on with her life.

What a crock!!!

That is bullcr@p, why would Duke who had nothing to do with the incident be offering to pay off this lying cow?

Has to be a false rumor made to lend some credibility to the accuser.

"However other sources have confirmed to The Carolinian and Wilmington Journal newspapers that early in the case, Black leaders, whose names cannot be revealed, were also allegedly approached by persons concerned about the fallout of the Duke rape controversy, and offered sums of money for themselves, NCCU and the alleged victim, if they could influence her to retract her allegations."

So anonymous concerned persons offered money to anonymous black leaders according to anonymous sources?

"2 of the accused kids have alibies that the DA hasn't cracked"

Why would the DA "crack" the alibies before the trial?

Both sides reporting this story are hypocrites. The people in the mainstream media who immediately judged the defendants as guilty, and people who immediately assume she's lying.

Two million dollars is chump change compared to what she will get from a book deal and the moveon.org speaking tour.

Of course she won't take any money for her story. It isn't true. Even she, in her drugged out, confused state, knows that would be compounding the felony and fraudulent.

Jessie Jackoff's on line 2. He says he'll take the money if she doesn't want it.

This is an obvious lie. She can't drop any case. Once the charges are made, it's out of the victim's hands. Only the DA can drop the case.

Because they tried.

Its no secret the DA tried to deal them, and the kids refused, put out their alibi (hell, a cab driver even went on the news and talked about it), and to date, the DA, has only confirmed several statements made tbe DEFENCE attorneys.

In the begin, I was had no opinion, but more and more, its starting to look like she was lying, and the kids are looking more and more innocent by the day.

Add in that her "cousin" told so many different stories and can't really identify her "attackers" and this whole case is garbage.

If the players aren't convicted, or are not even tried, I hope they sue her for every darn penny she's made off this case.

Yes, I think so. The same one who went on T.V. and didn't know anything about anything and finally said so, when pushed.

That is the one I was thinking of. When I saw her in one interview she didn't seem to be very well informed about the allegations or anything else. Maybe she was the family member who drew the short straw and became the family spokesman by default.
