I saw some waitress (I think) from a diner there interviewed today. Her take on what she is hearing from the customers is about a 50/50 split of opinion re: the case.

I saw a waitress interviewed yesterday as well (probably the same one). She was describing her own experiences in handling the media rush. She relayed a story about a National Enquirer reporter coming into the diner. The reporter said something like - I need dirt on the accuser and am willing to pay for it. Two girls who had attended high school with the accuser claimed they had it. They were paid $12,000 each for relaying stories that I doubt were verified. Pretty tacky business dealings, IMHO.

This is why I beleive some of the stories about the victim will not make it into court.

Very tacky!
During November of 2000, I got a call from "People" magazine. They were doing a story on Katherine Harris, and had been given my number as contact person for the neighborhood where KH lived in Tallahassee.
The reporterette was very sweet, but couldn't understand that I had only nice things to say.
Reporter got frustrated, I got frustrated. Finally she blurted, "Can you give me the number of a DEMOCRAT neighbor?"
That's when I hung up.
