La Shawn is still blogging this one closely.

really points out how helpful to the defense those cell phone records might be:if the accuser’s employer called her more than once to tell her that the booking would be cancelled if she didn’t get over there right away, it seems reasonable to assume that a) she was late for the engagement (and surely by now the defense has had the stripper’s employer disclose the time she was supposed to arrive?) b)the records will help pinpoint the earliest time she could have been at the house, since her employer would not be calling her to tell her to hurry if she had already arrived.

Sad that the defense is having to beg for these records….sadder still that all of the evidence they were given does not include the
very items that would give the accuser some credibility – a toxicology that showed a date rape drug (did she refuse one because she knew it was more likely to reveal things she willingly took that night?); a COMPLETE rape exam that included something more substantial than the universally logged “consistent with rape” (what else are they going to put on ANY rape exam? Read the instructions…medical staff are SUPPOSED to assume 100% credibility if you walk in and say rape – they are not the jury, just the medics); cell phone records- if they showed a substantially earlier arrival time than has been publicized. The fact that these critical things are missing or incomplete in the discovery materials strongly suggests that the prosecutor could not include them because they prove that he has no case. The question is how soon did he realize this and to what lengths did he go to to ensure that he could keep this case in the limelight? Having no evidence to convince, and each day turning up more that points to the players’ innocence, did he simply hope to suspend our disbelief via innuendo and righteous insistence while he carefully crafted a discovery file that seems tailor-made for the grand jury proceeding rather than a detailed investigative report of the events and processes? Maybe the Durham police do not mind the fact that the discovery materials make them look like they are sloppy and unprofessional when it comes to investigation and documentation. Either they are in his pocket, or Nifong doesn’t mind making his own police department look incompetent if it furthers his agenda.

Don’t know if this is true or not, I just read it.”

Bill, there is a link from one of the local newspapers to PDF files of the police report that says this. I think one of the above links in this post or the previous post has the information. Otherwise there is Google News.

“All I’m trying to do is get at the real reason black folk support people they know are guilty or not guilty.

We knew OJ was guilty as hell.

We know the Lacrosse stripper is lying through her teeth.

So why do we support these people? ”

While anyone can make a typo, why are black people “they” then “we” and if you are not black, I don’t think it’s fair to say “we” support OJ and the Stripper even when “we” know they are guilty.

You should read the sites that you recommend before recommending them.

Even a biased site admits that most people like you formed their opinions the sensational headlines and not the facts:

“You ain’t chicken, are yuh, Bo?” another youth taunted him.

Bobo had to fire or fall back. He entered the store, alone, stopped at the candy case. Carolyn was behind the counter; Bobo in front. He asked for two cents’ worth of bubble gum. She handed it to him. He squeezed her hand and said: “How about a date, baby?”

She jerked away and started for Juanita Milam. At the break between counters, Bobo jumped in front of her, perhaps caught her at the waist, and said: “You needn’t be afraid o’ me, Baby. I been with white girls before.”

At this point, a cousin ran in, grabbed Bobo and began pulling him out of the store. Carolyn now ran, not for Juanita, but out the front, and got the pistol from the Milam car.

Outside, with Bobo being ushered off by his cousins, and with Carolyn getting the gun, Bobo executed the “wolf whistle” which gave the case its name:

THE WOLF-WHISTLE MURDER: A NEGRO “CHILD” OR “BOY” WHISTLED AT HER AND THEY KILLED HIM.

That was the sum of the facts on which most newspaper readers based an opinion

The Negroes drove away; and Carolyn, shaken, told Juanita. The two women determined to keep the incident from their “Men-folks.” They didn’t tell J. W. Milam when he came to escort them home.

South Carolina ‘cue? Was it the mustardy stuff?
Or is it just Maurice (now there’s a restauranteur with a race baitin’ history from the old white school …) that serves up the mustardy stuff around Columbia?

Give me my eastern NC style any day….

Why not, counter-sue.

Would she be arrested on 400k bail? No evidence you say? Who needs evidence? Change your story 10 times? Who cares? Criminal past with history of substance abuse? That’s cool. Arrest her now!

1. NOT describe any of her attackers without looking at Lacrosse team pictures,
2. and then when she did look at them she didn’t identify Evans,
3. then 3 weeks later said she was 90% sure if he had a mustache, which he has never had,
4. and that only ‘inconclusive’ DNA evidence existed on one of her fingernails (which Evans himself picked up and handed to the cops),

it is truly remarkable to me that Evans was indicted (on 400k bail no less) when another rapist who resisted arrest and fought with police was given only $150k bail.

So basically, this young man has been indicted with NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER!

Just really beyond belief.

I REALLY like when people comment on my blog, but it’s very irritating when they don’t follow the threads or the story, then ask me to answer questions I’ve answered before. There is no “us” to give information to because regular readers read the posts and follow the links and know exactly why I write what I do.

I created a Duke Rape Case category to make it easier for new or infrequent readers to keep up. If you read each post, you’ll learn more than you ever wanted to know about this case and my opinion of it:

Don’t know if this is true or not, I just read it.

We knew OJ was guilty as hell.

We know the Lacrosse stripper is lying through her teeth.

So why do we support these people?

Saying only ignorant blacks is no more helpful than saying only ignorant whites were lynchers.

Look, you can’t enslave a people — treat them like animals — for 200 years and then one day say, “Ok, you’re free. Let’s shake hands and make like none of that happened,” and expect folk to shake your hand.

No, it affirms the notion that racists–white and black–usually harbor the silly notion that everybody is obsessed with the other color’s womenfolk.

“Sacrificing the Duke Lacrosse players will do this. It will let white America know — using white America’s own bloody techniques! — that we’re just as human as they”

Or, that blacks can turn out to be just as nuts about race as whites.

We already had the ultimate sacrifice for sin; we don’t need another one.
