they probably just called the place and said hey send some strippers.

11/15/2006 9:35:40 PM

from "reports" she seemed to have more of a problem with them being white than her being black

11/15/2006 9:36:50 PM

Good Lord a lot of people are sure this is a false accusation before the trial even starts

11/15/2006 9:48:04 PM

Of course. Who said there even has to be a trial? Lots of cases ae thrown out at the pre-trial stages, why should this one be any different?

"U.S. Congressman Calls For DA Probe In Duke Rape Case POSTED: 12:42 pm EST December 12, 2006 RALEIGH, N.C. -- A U.S. congressional representative wants a federal investigation into Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong and the way he has handled a rape investigation involving three Duke University lacrosse players. Rep. Walter Jones, R-North Carolina, has asked the U.S. Department of Justice to review the case, having accused Nifong of making prejudicial statements to the media and telling police to violate identification procedures. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, he also highlighted the fact that Nifong has never spoken directly with the accuser, a 27-year-old exotic dancer, about the case. The woman, who is also a student at North Carolina Central University in Durham, said she was sexually assaulted at an off-campus lacrosse party in March by three men. In April, two lacrosse players, Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J., and Collin Finnerty, 20, of Garden City, N.Y. were indicted on charges of first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping and first-degree sexual offense. A third lacrosse player, David Evans, 23, of Bethesday, Md., was indicted on the same charges a month later. Three former players, Dave Evans, 23, of Bethesda, Md.; Collin Finnerty, 20, of Garden City, N.Y.; and Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J., are charged with rape, kidnapping and sexual offense. All three have maintained their innocence and have called the allegations lies. "

Finally...hopefully something comes of this.

Nifong never spoke with the dancer/stripper/prostitute (and she was/is all of those things). I thought he says he's convinced she's telling the truth and thats why hes pressing forward with this case (as opposed to getting reelected). Hows he soooo convinced if he's never spoke with her?

12/12/2006 2:05:16 PM

Terri Schiavo isn't a vegetable! I saw her on tv!

Same kind of bullshit, different story.

12/12/2006 2:43:07 PM

^^^, ^^ have you people ever heard of delegation. He's the fucking DA he doesnt not have to speak to every/any complaintant necessarily. His statements could be taken as showing faith in his subordinates and are not all that unusual. There are lots of things wrong with this case but him not talking to her is not one of them.

12/12/2006 2:46:30 PM

it most certainly the fuck is in a case this high of profile.

jesus christ wouldn't you at least attempt to make sure your ducks are in a row if you're bound to get royally fucked if it all blows up in your face?

12/12/2006 3:37:44 PM

he leaked false information to the media, maybe had he been more personally involved in the investigation that would not have happened.

12/12/2006 3:45:25 PM

nifong probably got with the hoe himself

12/12/2006 8:58:08 PM

walter jones is from a district on the coast (sort of) and not durham take a look at his district map. . . if this isn't gerrymandering then i dont' know what is. . .

12/12/2006 9:27:18 PM

None of the Duke students matched the DNA sample.

When are they comparing Nifong's DNA with the sample?

12/13/2006 12:32:17 AM

^^ yes it certainly is the redrawing of political districts in order to gain votes. that's exactly what's going on here.

12/13/2006 8:24:12 AM

i didn't say the gerrymandering had anything to do with the case. just noticed it when i was looking up more about the congressman

and i guess the district ITSELF isn't gerrymandering, but the result of gerrymandering.

He also stated that he was SURE a crime had been committed by the players before all the evidence was even available. I suppose keeping his job is more important than actually doing his job, which is all too common in any level of government.

Completely different.

A family battle to terminate life support is not a matter the feds should investigate. A District Attorney who is potentially violating citizens legal and civil rights absolutely needs some oversight. Allowing a DA to run amok of the legal system sets a dangerous precedent.

12/13/2006 9:24:47 AM

it's a political stunt for the guys presumably white redneck constituency.

what power does the federal gov't have over a local DA anyhow?

12/13/2006 9:27:48 AM

pressure.

12/13/2006 9:38:45 AM

there's nothing the least bit federal about this case. not to mention, it has nothing to do with the constituency that this guy represents.

hello my name is nifong and i have a small dong

12/13/2006 10:31:05 AM

he could argue that he's a representative of the state of north carolina and that this fiasco is bringing shame to his constituency via the state as a whole

pretty sure if the probe actually finds anything they can put pressure on the county and/or city of durham

this whole thing's going to come to a head pretty soon

12/13/2006 10:33:19 AM

so the CITY DA of durham is bringing shame to HIS constituency? that's fairly ridiculous.

12/13/2006 10:36:02 AM

well i'm not anywhere near durham or jones' district and when people from out of state bring it up to me i've been pretty ashamed of what they're seeing about our state from it.

many people are looking down on the entire state about it

12/13/2006 11:18:28 AM

let's have a congressional investigation about it then!

"Defense: Lab Did Not Find Duke Lacrosse Players' DNA On Alleged Rape Victim POSTED: 3:33 pm EST December 13, 2006 DURHAM, N.C. -- According to a defense motion filed Wednesday, a laboratory hired by the prosecution did not find DNA evidence on an alleged rape victim from any member of the Duke lacrosse team. The woman alleged that she was raped by three members of the team -- Collin Finnerty, David Evans and Reade Seligmann -- at an off-campus party in March. According to the motion, DNA Security, a private laboratory in Burlington, found DNA from multiple males on the accuser and her panties. However, none of the DNA matched any of the three people charged, their teammates on the 2006 Duke lacrosse team or anyone else who has submitted a DNA sample in the investigation."

Federal civil rights laws. No one may violate another person's civil rights under color of state law. Think of an extreme example - a local municipal court judge brings in a pistol and starts executing defendants on the spot for traffic tickets. Surely a federal authority would step in and say "You are violating these people's civil rights. Stop it." Same principle.

Quote :

"have you people ever heard of delegation. He's the fucking DA he doesnt not have to speak to every/any complaintant necessarily."

But he has not delegated this case. Ordinarily it is extremely rare for the elected DA to prosecute a case (think of Law and Order; how many times do you see Adam Schiff in a courtroom prosecuting?) - they usually delegate it out to an assistant DA, who DOES interview the complainant. Here, he is not delegating anything, he is handling every aspect of the case himself - which means that like any prosecutor he had a responsibility to know the case he is prosecuting.

Duke Lacrosse Accuser Gives Birth

POSTED: 7:57 pm EST December 14, 2006
UPDATED: 8:35 pm EST December 14, 2006

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- WRAL's Julia Lewis has confirmed that the accuser in the Duke lacrosse case gave birth late Thursday at UNC Hospitals.

Her pregnancy had not been public knowledge until now.

When WRAL called her boyfriend's home Thursday evening, the person who answered the phone had no comment and then hung up.

The 27-year-old gave birth nine months after she alleges she was raped by three Duke University lacrosse players at a March 13 team party.

After the party, she was taken to a local hospital to be examined.

A defense attorney tells WRAL that a test taken at the hospital showed that she was not pregnant at the time of the party and that she was given emergency contraception commonly referred to as the morning-after pill.

The suspects in the case -- David Evans, 23, Collin Finnerty, 20, and Reade Seligmann, 20 -- have denied the allegations.

This week, attorneys in the case filed a motion in which they said male DNA from multiple sources was found on the accuser, but none from their clients. In another motion, they ask that the judge presiding over the case throw out the photographic lineup in which she identified the defendants, saying the IDs were the result of a "tainted procedure."

At the time of the alleged incident, the woman, a divorced mother of two, had worked for an escort service to help support her children and to pay for classes at North Carolina Central University.

does the baby look like any of the accused?

12/15/2006 8:57:53 AM

that'd be amazing, considering none of them were in the rainbow of DNA they found in and on her...and the fact she got the morning-after pill

nah, her baby's daddy is some other schmuck who laid the wood within a few days of the "rape"

12/15/2006 8:59:23 AM

This story + one more outrageous allegation + A trip to Maury = Lifetime Movie Classic

12/15/2006 9:31:59 AM

I can't even take this case seriously anymore. After the latest DNA evidence clearing the players and now it turns out she was knocked up within days of this supposed rape just makes her lose all credit in my mind.

12/15/2006 9:34:39 AM

yes the lack of DNA evidence should discredit her, but what does her getting knocked up have to do with dis/proving whether she was raped or assaulted?
