Am I the only one that looks at these new statement by the accuser as possibly racist?

She claimed she was raped by 20 white guys?

huh?

To me this case is getting more and more crazy…lol

This woman has to be hiding under the biggest rock in the deserts of Arizona…

The little boy who cried wolf and ain’t got diddlysquat on this woman…

I am begining to feel sorry for her now.

I have purposefully waited for the hype to die down before I blog about the Duke lacrosse rape case. Needless to say, the story has given my hometown unwanted national attention. Many of my favorite bloggers, LaShawn Barber has wrote on this case con…

Imagine–twenty LAX players and they managed to leave no DNA! I’m sure the CIA would be interested in how they managed to do that.

No sooner than I convince myself that I have heard it ALL with respect to this case, there come new revelations that take the lunacy to an entirely new quantum level. Such is the case once again. This latest news would be absolutely UNBELIEVABLE were it to have been suggested with respect to any other case. Unreported in the national media has been the fact that the Duke accuser originally told police that she was raped by TWENTY white men. According to the official report released by Duke University referenced above, Durham police immediately recognized the patently false nature of the accusation, and advised that it was nothing to worry about.

Yes, I see a scandal brewing here, but not the one the mainstream media would have us believe. The scandal is NIFONG’S, and no one else’s. This latest bombshell should usher in the final stanza in this corrupt man’s legal career. What we have is an obvious, willful, malicious prosecution of people KNOWN to be innocent. If I were the judge hearing this case, I would be stunned and outraged. My response would be to order Nifong’s immediate incarceration for Contempt of Court, fine him heavily, refer him to the North Carolina Bar Association for disciplinary action, and swear out a warrant for his arrest on criminal charges. Perhaps Nifong has mistaken the office of District Attorney in North Carolina for something more akin to “People’s Commissar” in the former Soviet Union. Someone needs to assert “adult supervision” — FAST.

I would guess early dischage from the Navy was pregnancy.

Has anyone seen the report released today by Duke Univ.? It says that the reason they didn’t take it seriously to begin with is because the alleged victim initially told police she had been raped by TWENTY white men. The police knew enough at first to suspect her story as false. I guess Nifong never talked to them.

“Who wants to bet this whole thing gets dismissed before the end of June? Any takers? ”

My cyberdollars are on mid-june….why?

Becuz the defense will have all the evidence on May 15, and it will take some time for little parts of the DA’s case to leak out to the media, and when that happens, then the defense will have to play their cards in the media, by the time the defense finishes with the DA’s case in the first few weeks there will be nothing to stand on. I think the bombshell is going to be Finnerty’s alibi. I think they are holding on to it, and will drop it at just thr right time.

Another interesting background thing about the accuser is her military service. She graduated in 1996 from HS, then got married and a year later enlisted in the Navy at 19. She was discharged with about a year of service, in 1998.

Cause of the early discharge is not known at this time.

If you are born in America, you are indeed an American. You may also be an African, if you have an African parent, and his country permits him to pass on his nationality by descent, and permits its citizens to hold dual nationality.

Classes are over at Duke, my son is on his way home. LaShawn your help and support is invaluable. I have spent sometime with several current and former NC judges over the last few days. Here is what most think will happen on May 15th before a Judge. First, defense moves to suppress the id of accused because of FATAL flaw in ID line up, you can not only include suspects in a picture or real ID, it is 90% of the time a FATAL flaw. Motion granted. Motion to dismiss case. Motion granted. Motion to recover expenses, not a chance. This should be over May 15th first time Niffunk has to face a JUDGE. He will look like what he is a race baiting liberal Democrat. I was reminded by one of his class mates that he was a liberal student activist at UNC-CH as a undergradute. Friends remember him as a fruit cake even then. Why do all these liberal students always go to work for the government? Cause no one else will hire them. He was a Hippie from hell and still is. Bless you Lashawn, please keep the fire burning. Kemp

It’s difficlut to accept the premise that blacks (Afrikan or otherwise) continue to be oppressed in today’s cultural environment when the black ‘hip-hop’ culture is the popular culture. When blacks begin shaming blacks for continuing to identify black females as whores and bitches then perhaps blacks will liberate themselves from their oppressive environment.

The accuser unfortunately was behaving exactly her the popular culture expected her to behave.
