It also appears the accuser in the Duke case has a curious history with the police dept. :

In an earlier incident she is charged with 10 felonies, including carjacking and trying to run over a Police officer, and a high speed chase thru 2 counties; but this is plead down to 4 misdemeanors and 2 or 3 saturdays in jail.

She then had representation by Woody Vann–a major power broker in Durham, and one who works well
with the insiders of the court system.

Some people therefore have speculated (speculation alert!) that she has been a snitch in some other cases, and for that reason has received favorable treatment; and that she is thus well-known to the police. (The policeman at Krogers on the night of the “rape” asked someone to check on her kids–something he evidently already knew about.)

Lots of news this morning about the Duke case; it seems the accuser is involved in at least five other investigations; and there are lots of documents which the DA has not handed over to the defense yet :

http://www.heraldsun.com/durham/4-766289.html

In its filing this week, the defense also is pressing for more information about what happened in the hours after the alleged attack, particularly information regarding the accuser’s trip with police to the Durham Access Center, a mental health and substance abuse facility, for involuntary commitment. . .

The defense cites the lack of a substantive report about the accuser’s presence at the center, and the defense points to a blank check-in log as an example of inadequate information.

In addition, the defense wants to find out what was said at a meeting Nifong and police had with the accuser April 11 at the county courthouse.

(snip)

. . . the defense says . . . that an investigator — Sgt. Mark Gottlieb — in a typewritten narrative said Nifong and the accuser met and talked about the case.

Oh, for the love of heaven . . .
Angry Nutcake, please.
You have just proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, why all decent people become conservatives. I hope and pray you will abandon your hatred and emotionalism some day, but I admit I hold out little hope. However, with God all things are possible.
I will pray for you.

Any complaint they may make could affect the Duke investigation in a very negative way, so they just choose to let it slide

You can’t really be trying to tell me that the NAACP has invested so much in getting the Duke guys convicted (even meeting and praying in a Christian church with the New Black Panther Party and the NOI–both of which believe in the extermination of whites)
that it is willing now even to sacrifice the rights of innocent honest working stiffs who are getting rousted (and beaten) by white cops?

Doesn’t the NAACP abide by Dr. King’s words?

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Naw, I really just can’t believe that. . .

Seahawk, maybe the lack of “whitey” money and sex in the “beaten cook crime”, could explain the so called “black leaders’” reluctance to become involved. Also, the whole incident reflects so poorly on the police department that these leaders can’t afford to draw attention to it. Any complaint they may make could affect the Duke investigation in a very negative way, so they just choose to let it slide. I agree about the photo of Elmo and the cops. That photo says it all. It should frighten all people that these public servants have so much power over those they are meant to protect. This is a new sentiment for me, as I have always had the utmost respect for policemen.

“The Angry â€œIndependentâ€???? I think itâ€™s time for a name change.”

lol What?

I’m actually quite conservative on some issues…. more flexible on others…. all depends on the issue.

LaShawn,

Real Clear Politics has a link to Slate story about NY Times story and how bad it was. Jess, I read it and thought it was OK, but after reading the Slate story, I feel like a nut, course I bought into the Karr story, must me the heat nor old age.

SteveDinMD: It would appear that he/she mistook this for the “Communist Rant” thread. %^)

I can add that the NAACP was singularly uninterested in the cook who was beaten by six white off-duty drunken cops, who used racial epithets in the attack (“Rodney King South”).

Strange. . .

All charges against the cabbie were thrown out by the judge.

Wonderful photo of him sitting calm and serene, with the two intimidating cops standing behind him.

(My caption for the photo : “The man the NAACP would not defend”)

But still an American we all can be proud of and an example for people of all colors.
