Thomas has denied speculation the girl could be pregnant: "Unequivocally, she is not pregnant and was never pregnant."
"She has been thoroughly examined and tested," Thomas said Saturday

Now if you expect to do well on discussion forums, I suggest you learn some thinking skills as well as some internet skills, because you are ignorant and unduly biased by your own emotions, perceptions and feelings. They are nice to have, but facts are more useful.
Any cursory research would have quickly revealed both the tin foil conspiracy theories of the internet gossips and the rapid and rational debunking of them by more reasonable people.
just sayin will say that Thomas was lying with no proof once again. I have a feeling he won't last very long here at FR. The admin doesn't like people posting libel all the time and usually ends up banning people like that.
How interesting quoting CBS on FReerepublic. Anyway, I thank you for that aspect, I will take that part of it for what it is worth. But it is incomplete in my view. 'Thomas said' might be good enough for you, but barring further explanation it isn't enough for me.
As example, will the family spokesman for the Duke accuser say things that reflect positively on her? Of course they would. If they wanted to bury it, they would say just that huh?
It does not offer explanation for the weight gain and changes in her appearance. It also is not a question asked of and answered by Elizabeth herself. So, in effect, you have exposed that it is you who needs to dig some more, maybe a little deeper that top lines on google would help.
I watched it all play out, after she was gone until after she was home. All along something didn't sit quite right. Many things about it don't seem quite right, especially now with the advent that this man will not even stand trial, singing in court is a tactic not a reason not to try him. Why not try him? Something he might say maybe? This would be anothr example, to me, that things just do not fit. BTW, that didn't come from a google, it came from watching it all play out as it happened.....and is happening now.
Funny thing is that parts of what I feel about this is a wee be bit harder to come up with. You can think I know nothing, that is your right. I have questions and if you think you have answered them all, well it is your right to think that.
My postings are genuine and I have real feelings that there is WAY more to the Smart story than we know and I have stated why I feel that way.
You might buy into anything you read on the internet and take it as fact, I choose to question a bit deeper. The weight gain and physical changes I noticed stick with me just as something stuck with a certain FReeper about a certain set of Documents. At first it was not so explainable, it took some questioning and digging. Doing so produced fracturing results to the source you cited. Now didn't it? You fault me for doing that very same thing, so be it.
You can hammer me for my feelings al you want to, go for it, but just like a FReeper thought there was something more there, I feel the same way about this.
Faqcts are useful when making claims of fact. That is not what I did now is it. Maybe now you can see the difference. The fact is that Elizabeth has never answered this question ( though I concede a spokesman has made statement), weight gain and changes go unexplained and now the whole thing is swept away without so much as a prosecution. It is these facts that draw my questions, becasue something just doesn't fit.
You say that I should think, but when i show you things that make me question, you simply dismissthem and claim i am not thinking. I am questioning a few things that go without answer that lead to my perception. You say that is wrong to do, I accept that you think it is wrong to do, but me, I think it is right to do and I have every right to do it.
And it damn sure doesn't make me a troll.
No offense, but one gets the distinct feeling that you have been educated in a public school system.
It's a real shame that our tax dollars are not being spent teaching core curriculum subjects like rhetoric, debate and logic.
