It's painfully obvious how these two victims (the alleged perps) were identified. When the 'ho was initially shown the pictures of all the team members and failed to identify any of them the work started. She was probably "interviewed" over and over again and coached and eventually came to the point of thinking somebody might be familiar. From there on it just required going over and over the same things until she came up with a "100% reliable" ID of the two lynching victims. The process is really fairly well perfected, having been used by Janet Reno and other so-called "prosecutors" in mass child sex abuse persecutions, like the McMartin case and the
Grant Snowden case.

How do we know the time stamp photo's are accurate?

Maybe young folks are more tech savvy than me, but I don't think I could reprogram a digital camera on the fly when sober, much less at midnight after a couple beers.

This DA needs to be run out of town on a rail.

When are we going to start holding DA's accountable for political persecutions such as this one?

If a DA brings a frivolous charge against a defendant, the DA should be held liable for damages (and possibly for criminal wrongdoing).

They didn't get to see all the evidence, only what DA Nifong wanted them to see, with only his interpretation of it.

As the old saying goes, a DA can indict a ham sandwich... (and a judge can find that the sandwich is actually kosher chicken salad...).

MSNBC has talked with forensics experts, document forensics, I think it's called, and they say the photographs are authentic.

I read somewhere on one of these threads that the time stamps on the photos matched a watch that is also shown in one of the photos. I have no idea if that is true or has been confirmed.

I don't need a map. I've lived in that neighborhood.

This is starting to look like the whole incident was a planned event!The DA says she had injuries condusive to this kind of attack but when you see all the inconsistencies and lack of real evidence i think the woman abused herself with an adult toy before going to the frat house.

Like Cgris Rock said, "Nobody has ever gone to an ATM after midnight for a good upstanding reason"

It's funny as a comedy bit. However, I occasionally visit an ATM after midnight.

Reasons?

Cash for the next morning.

Picking up milk for the next morning.

A late night trip to fill up the gas tank.(I may need to start robbing banks to do that.)

Funding an after hours trip to Taco Bell.

All highly criminal activities.

The worst part of it is that the ones accused will be bankrupted by legal fees just from having to defend themselves

Arrest everyone and let the jury sort it out.

Otherwise, the criminal justice system doesn't give a rip.

12:31:26 a.m.: But 30 seconds after that, a photo shows the alleged victim stumbling down the back steps of the house.

12:37:58 a.m.: A series of photos are taken, all showing the woman lying on her left side on the back porch, seemingly passed out or asleep. She had visible cuts on her legs and buttocks that did not appear in the previous photos.

* * *

So the students watch this woman fall down the back steps and injure herself, and they let her just lay there on the ground for 7 minutes while taking photos of her?

These guys are not rapists, but they definitely are louts.

Ummm. Where in that time line does it say when the "dancer" was assaulted? Where does it say when she left? If she didn't leave until 3 am, then there'd stil be 2 hours of opportunity.

Don't get me wrong, I think the D.A. is just using these boys to get himself reelected, and innocence be damned. But we need a much more thorough timeline. All this tells me is he got back about 1 am with money in hand.

This is a little troublesome, but not conclusive:

The Herald-Sun could not corroborate the claim that Seligmann summoned a cab on the night in question. All 12 of the taxicab companies serving Durham contacted by The Herald-Sun on Tuesday said they did not dispatch a driver to 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. on the night of the alleged incident.

I believe they were taken with camera phones. The time is set by the phone company.

Or she had another appointment prior to the party; one on one.
