Update III (4/27): The Duke rape accuser has cried rape before. Ten years ago she claimed three men had raped her three years earlier. (Source)
The girl’s got an active, though not terribly original, imagination. I wonder if the alleged rapists were white…
Remember, readers — as more info like this seeps out — the vapid, asinine, hypocritical, and race-mongering news stories, op-eds, speeches, and talking heads we’ve endured for the past couple of weeks. I’m on the edge of my chair waiting to hear/read what they’ve got to say about this.
Update II (4/26): One more comment on this post, and I’m done…unless something big happens today. I ran across a few articles about the “lack of diversity” in baseball and the lone black player on Duke’s former lacrosse team (let’s face it, it’s over).
Do you notice that very few people complain or write about the “lack of diversity” of football and basketball teams? Both sports are overwhelmingly dominate by blacks, yet not a peep. Not a serious peep, at any rate.
Interesting…
Update (4/25): Nifong the lyncher?
If/when the rape charges fail, Nifong will have a few misdemeanor cases to keep him busy. Go get ‘em, Mike!
A commenter says: “Sounds like Mr. Nifong is trolling for cooperating witnesses…”
Newsday quoting Steve “I don’t care what you say about him he’s got a point” Sailer:
“The Times, he says, loves a story in which blacks might have been criminally victimized by whites, because it reverses the all-too familiar pattern. So the Times jumps at the chance to show whites acting badly, thus elevating the paper’s self-appointed status as the arbiter of social and racial justice. As Sailer puts it, ‘The Duke lacrosse team, a bunch of rich preppie jerks, makes a wonderful target for other whites wishing to parade their moral superiority.”
For many years in America, Blacks had to fight for true justice in towns where kangaroo courts would work hand and hand with biased juries, to reach a pre-determined verdict. This was done after the mob ensured that someone of the group they disliked was charged with a crime, assuming the mob did not carry out the actual sentence in the streets. Now in a modern twist of irony, it is the so-called Civil Rights community that pressed for charges in the Duke Lacrosse rape case and will likely press for conviction. …Thankfully there are some Blacks who saw the injustice of the past and can still rightfully call out injustice in modern day America, even when that injustice is done at the request of people who feel they have Blacks’ best interest at heart.
This morning Collin Finnerty faced a judge in D.C. re: a previous assault charge, which had been dismissed contingent on the terms of a community service agreement. After his arrest in the rape case, the agreement was revoked. Finnerty faces trial in July for the assault. In the meantime, the judge imposed a curfew and alcohol restriction.

Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong may not be able sit on his laurels, so to speak, until the job-saving May 2 election, as planned. (And he may end up in serious legal trouble, too.)
Accused rapist Reade Seligmann’s lawyer Kirk Osborn is calling Nifong’s bluff. Osborn wants to know what he’s got. The Smoking Gun has posted a copy of the motion.
Gentle readers, if you thought things were rough before, wait until you see a zealous lawyer in action. Although it’s sometimes distasteful, it is often…dare I put it this way…a thing of beauty. From an article:
The attorney for one of two Duke lacrosse players charged with raping a stripper demanded on Monday that prosecutors turn over the accuser’s medical, legal and education records for use in attacking her credibility.
Kirk Osborn, who represents player Reade Seligmann, said the material will provide “rich sources of information for impeaching the complaining witnesses.”
Osborn also asked a judge to hold a pretrial hearing to “determine if the complaining witness is even credible enough to provide reliable testimony.” (Source)
(By the way, the second set of DNA tests won’t be completed until May 15.)
Even if they never touched the stripper, Seligmann’s and Collin Finnerty’s reputations at Duke University are shot. She could go on national TV tonight and confess she made it up, fall on her knees begging forgiveness and imploring the media and black “leaders” to back off. Wouldn’t make much difference.
The defense is about to dig so deeply into the accuser’s life…mere words can’t express it.
Who knows what evidence Nifong has at this point, but this is what we know for sure about his would-be witness Kim Roberts: she is not credible. A newly-minted lawyer fresh off the bar exam would skewer her. Heck, a first year law student would…no forget that. A person with a pulse would skewer her.
In the United States, a defendant has a right to confront witnesses against him and impeach their credibility. A defense attorney would not be doing his job if he didn’t attack a witness’s credibility. A jury has to decide whether or not to believe the person on the stand, and a charge of perjury, for example, would undermine the testimony. I’m not familiar with North Carolina’s Rules of Evidence, but evidence of Roberts’s changed story should be allowed in, and her criminal record and PR contact might be allowed in. A jury may still believe her, but those factors would make it tough. I can’t even imagine what the defense lawyers are going to do to her during cross examination, assuming there’s a trial. 
Let’s recap: Roberts is a stripper who embezzled money from a former employer and was arrested eight days after the party for violating probation. Coincidentally (wink, wink), Nifong signed off on a deal for his would-be witness that exempted her from paying a 15 percent bonding fee. Roberts changed her story about the rape and contacted a PR agency for advice on how to spin the “tragedy” to her financial advantage.
On second thought, forget the pulse. A corpse would skewer her…
