Heh, Nifong screws self, claims rape.
maybe she'll get some service hours for her work at duke.
Alcohol problem starts way before college...
Keep pinging me; we're got to go to a funeral home out of town.
BBL.
i don't think this has caused the level of anger that was caused by the rodney king tapes.
those tapes caused a visceral response--even white police officers were upset.
i think we might see a march and some smashed windows in durham, but i doubt if much more will happen.
Maybe they should bring in Chief Moose to help out.
I was at Duke 30 years ago. "Same as it ever was".
LOL! That was good!
What the cops SHOULD be doing is lowering the hammer on her pimp and boyfriend (who may be one and the same person) to find out how many dates she had before the dance gig and whether or not any of them asked for specialty sex acts. The cops have plenty of leverage on these guys - all they have to do is threaten to scrutinize them and put them out opf business if they don't cooperate.
The development of this case presents a perfect storm of the damage that the political correctness of not looking at an alleged rape victim's activities does when it meets the electoral agenda of a politician who's a dim bulb in the first place.
They did notify the Duke Police Department but didn't notify the students' attorneys.
Police Attempt To Question Students In Duke Rape Investigation
In a statement released Friday afternoon, Duke associate vice president for campus safety and security Aaron Graves said two police detectives spent over an hour at Edens Residence Hall Thursday night in an attempt to question students as part of their ongoing investigation. Graves said that the detectives didn't have search warrants and had contacted the Duke Police Department before their visit.
The cops' little adventure late yesterday into the dorms speaks volumes about the state of this case. This was unethical, but no surprise. The cops know those guys are all represented.
And it certainly lends credence to the theory that the cops are the ones who sent the bogus email yesterday.
On the contrary, the reason for the press conference this morning was to diffuse the volatility in Durham. The city is going to boil over if this "non case" continues to stir up the citizens.
Loco, what's the source about the death grip on the brake lever?
Or even Chief Wiggum!
I thought the detectives were part of the police department. So why would they have had to notify the police? Who sent them?
Thank you. This notion that the college students are out of control and something must be done just irritates me.
College students that go away for school have always drank and been rowdy - that's just part of the college experience.
This reminds me of when the Bush twins were charged with underage drinking. Someone in the media tried to claim that their "obvious alcohol problem" was a "cry for help". Geesh - they were just normal college students having a good time.
The city of Durham dectectives notified the Duke police department.
Nifong's stonewalling the team's attorneys to have access to PUBLIC records is beyond the pale. Would his conduct be enough to get him disbarred?
Oh. I didn't catch the difference. Thanks.
